Easter Wreath

Oh my! Where have I been? We have been having craft withdrawals over here, but the girls and I managed a little time over Spring Break for an Easter craft.

The girls visited their Great-Grandmother recently. She's been doing some cleaning out, and she gave them both a couple Easter decor items. One of them was a bunny hanging thing. My daughter was asking me where we could put it, and I suggested we use it as part of an Easter-themed wreath.

I had an old grape-vine wreath that was not being used, and we had some various sizes of decorated Styrofoam eggs (I have seen these eggs at the Dollar Store and most craft stores). Ours had ribbons to hang them, and we cut those off.

Our materials included a grape-vine wreath, bunny
decoration, Styrofoam eggs, and floral wire.
We cut short lengths of floral wire and pushed it through
the center of each egg. For some of the smaller eggs
that would be placed side by side, we pushed two
eggs through one wire.
We secured the eggs around the wreath with the wire.
I used pieces of wire to attach the bunny in the
center of our wreath.
And here it is on our front door.
The girls loved helping me make this wreath, and my oldest is proud of the way we have displayed her special bunny from MeeMaw. 

It was a simple project, and I have seen similar wreaths at Joann's and Target, just without the bunny.





Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5
