Easter Eggs, Ribbon and Hot Glue

Every Easter season I say that I want to have a wreath made of plastic Easter eggs. I know, Easter eggs you say. I did not want one with flowers once it since the last time that I had one with flowers on it the birds made a nest in. We looking on Pinterest, I found some really pretty ones. Not only was it easy on the wallet, but it was very easy to make. Guess what, really was and fun too. Here is what we did.


 You will need.........
-40-60 plastic Easter egg (This depends on the size of the wreath. I used about 52.)
-Hot glue gun
- Straw or Styrofoam wreath
-Ribbon for hanging 


 Of course you have to put the eggs together first. Miss G. was so excited about doing this. She asked all day until she was able to finally put the eggs together. We had a little trouble with some of the colors, but we worked at it until we put them all together.  I purchased my eggs at Walgreens for $2.49 for a pack of 42. I purchased two packages for this project.

I first tied on my ribbon prior to gluing the eggs.  I chose from ribbon that I already had in the home in my craft stash. The wreath was $4.99 at Jo-Ann Fabrics but I had a coupon for 25% off which made it $3.75.  I randomly placed the eggs throughout the wreath. Once I had the general place of eggs, I went back through and filled in the spaces where you could see the wreath peeking through.  If you check out my Pinterest Easter Pins, I have some other variations on this wreath done by others. 

Here is the final product. This project took about total of an hour to complete from start to finish. Not bad for the final results.  It looks festive and has really held up to the not so spring-like weather we have been having. Check.....one thing off the list. Now I can focus on decorating the rest of the house to get it ready for Spring to move out this winter weather.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
