Easter Bunny Egg Wreath
I put together this pretty rainbow wreath a few weeks ago and I'm so excited to share it with you all today! This is the first part of the project that I did with glittery Easter eggs. I shared the other part of this project in my Glittery Easter Egg Topiary last week.
I love how the glitter adds a new dimension to ordinary plastic Easter eggs. Aren't they pretty?
Materials and Supplies
- Plastic eggs
- Wreath form
- Hot glue gun
- Mod Podge
- Ribbon
- Foam brush
- Glitter
- Scrapbook paper
- Scissors
How To Make This
1. Cover the Easter egg in a fine layer of Mod Podge or other glue.
2. Roll the Easter egg in the glitter.
I had the best luck by putting the glitter in a disposable bowl. After the first pass, there were some unglittered spots from where my fingers were. Once the eggs dried, I spot-touched them to make the glitter more even. Click here to see more about how I glittered Easter eggs.3. Gather your wreath and ribbon.
I used about 15 feet of ribbon ( 1 1/2 rolls).4.Cover the wreath form in ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the wreath. Tuck the ends under the wreath to hold it in place. You can also dab a bit of glue to the ribbon when you get to the end.5. Lay out your eggs around the wreath.
I tried a few different combinations and decided to go with a pastel rainbow.6. Hot glue the eggs to the wreath.
I put my eggs right up against each other, but you could also do it with some small gaps.7. Add a bunny outline.
My wreath had a large opening and needed some interest in the middle, so I added a bunny silhouette to it. I traced the outline of a bunny on scrapbook paper and cut it out. I used the bunnies that you see on either end of my Easter Mantel to trace the outline.Make a loop with your ribbon that goes over the wreath. Then glue the ends of the loop to the back of the bunny silhouette.
8. Hang the wreath on the door.
I wasn't able to use a wreath hanger with this because of where the eggs sit on the wreath. You could add more ribbon to hang it from. I ended up just resting it on a nail that was already on my door.Link Parties

Hi Missy new GFC follower from the Aloha blog hop. This tutorial is excellent. I made a wreath a couple weeks ago and almost ran out of the sparkly eggs. I knew I couldn't buy anymore because I bought all the store sold had in stock. Now I know how to make them!
