Easter Wreath OUR DIY EASTER WREATH IS DECORATED WITH SPECKLED QUAIL EGGS, LICHEN AND FLOWER SPRIGS FOR THE PERFECT SPRING DOOR DÉCOR. UTILIZING A WILLOW BASE, THIS SPRING WREATH ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO ASSEMBLE AND LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT FOR YOUR DOOR!
Materials -
Blown quail eggs Twigs Lichen or oak moss (dried out) Faux flower sprigs (I use a combination of natural and faux materials), in this session I used forsythia sprigs
- Wreath base (visit my website if you’ve missed how to make one in a previous article), or buy one in your local craft supply store. If you use styrofoam, I’d suggest painting it or covering it in fabric before you start to decorate it. - Glue gun and sticks
Steps 1. Start by threading the lengths of the faux forsythia sprigs into the willow ring. These stay in place without needing to be glued. 2. Now you can start sticking the natural elements onto the wreath base. I find it easiest to add one component at a time when decorating a rustic wreath, so I started with the twigs. 3. Now secure the lichen pieces.
6 etcetera
4. And finally, the quail eggs. Now all you have to do is choose where to hang it (or who to gift it to!). The stars of the show are the quail eggs. I used real blown eggs on my wreath (here are some easy instructions on how to blow an egg), but you could easily use a faux alternative if you wish.
Happy Crafting!
