diy easter wreath

last week, my sweet Aislynn was superr excited by the hype of all the bunnies and chocolates everywhere, so i decided to go ahead and decorate for Easter.  plus, with all of this dreary Houston weather we've been having lately, mama needed some COLOR!

i made this wreath 3 years ago, and it was superrr easy.
if i can do it, anyone can!

materials:
* hay/straw wreath in desired size 
* feather boa in desired color
(the size of your wreath will determine the quantity of boas)
* large or small plastic Easter eggs
* ribbon/fabric to hang wreath when complete
* glue gun
* lots of glue sticks


how-to:
1) wrap your wreath with your boa, gluing every now and then to secure.
(i recommend keeping the wreath inside of its original plastic wrapping in order to avoid sending your vacuum on a cleaning spree)
2) pop open your bag of pretty Easter eggs, and glue to your now, feathered wreath.
(you're going to use a significant amount of glue in order to secure the entire egg, otherwise, they will hang from the feathers instead of being placed in/on the feathers)
3) for sanity purposes, double check to make sure all items are secure on wreath.
4) grab your snazzy fabric/ribbon, but before cutting, be sure to measure where exactly you will hang the wreath on your door.
(i made the mistake of guessing, and ended up wasting quite a bit of fabric.) 

ps. i found it easier to prop your wreath against a wall while working on it. 


TA-DA!
that's all that's to it!

see? told ya it was simple!

don't forget to get creative with it! feel free to change it up, but remember to have fun! =D



faith & love,
Casey
