Egg-cellent Easter Wreath

Our Easter Wreath is an inexpensive, easy-to-make twist on the classic grapevine wreath and adds a festive Spring-fresh Easter touch to a door or wall. It also makes a great centerpiece on your Easter table as a fun "nest" for a stuffed or chocolate bunny, or as a complement to an Easter floral arrangement.

Since the "eggs" are simply sponge-painted this is a great project to do with your kids - even toddlers will enjoy helping out!

Materials:
Papier mache and/or wooden eggs in 3-4 different sizes, 4-5 eggs in each size
(smaller sizes are usually found in wood)
1 medium-size grapevine wreath (ours is 14" in diameter)
Craft paint in your selected colors*
*we used pastel blue, pink and yellow with soft white accents.
Use neutrals for a natural bird's egg look, or brighter colors - the choices are endless!
Raffia in a complementary color (we used a natural green)
Natural sea sponge
Lo-temp hot glue
Floral wire for hanger (4")

Step 1: Paint eggs
Using sponge, paint eggs with base colors, completely coating surface. Once dry to the touch, lightly sponge white or other contrasting color over the base coat. Let dry.

Step 2: Glue eggs onto grapevine wreath
Using hot glue, glue eggs to top and sides of wreath. Space eggs unevenly and turn them in different directions to create a "natural" look.

Step 3: Wrap raffia
Pull a small handful of raffia, fluff strands and loosely wrap around the wreath, pulling some strands around eggs. Secure raffia by tying/wrapping ends on the back of the wreath. Trim any wild ends. Add a bow if desired.

Step 4: Tie hanging wire
Tie a hanging loop from the back of the wreath (omit if using as a centerpiece)
