Your front door is the first thing guests see when they come to your home. Give them an eggs-trordinary welcome with this cute, colorful Easter wreath that’s cheerful, springy, and easy to DIY.
You will need:
• (1) 3’4” length ¾” PVC-coated aluminum tubing
• (1) 3’5” length thick wall Frost King Tubular Foam Pipe Insulation
• 3 yards of decorative ribbon
• (120) 1-1/4” decorative foam Easter eggs, such as these
• Scissors
• Utility knife
• Hot glue gun + glue sticks
• Packing tape
To make the wreath:
1. To create a wreath form, bend the PVC-coated aluminum tubing into a circle and secure the ends with packing tape. Slide the Tubular Foam Pipe Insulation over the form.
2. Cut a 2-1/4 yards length of ribbon and use it to cover the wreath form. Begin by securing one end of the ribbon to the foam with hot glue and start wrapping the ribbon tightly around the form, overlapping each layer as you go until the wreath form is completely covered. When you’re back where you started, trim the excess ribbon and secure the end with hot glue on the back of the wreath form.
3. Use the hot glue gun to begin attaching the eggs to the wreath, placing the eggs close together to completely cover the wreath form. (It’s okay if a little of the ribbon shows through.
4. When the glue has dried completely, cut a 15” piece of ribbon and loop it in half at the top of the wreath to form a door hanger. Glue the raw edges of the ribbon together on the back of the wreath. Let the glue dry, then hang the wreath on your front door to get ready to welcome guests to your home this Easter.
