Challenge – Make a frugal Easter Wreath with what you have

I don’t know about you, but I always want nice stuff. I drool over beautiful wreaths, interiors looking more like a showroom and tables set for royal.

Nothing wrong with that – except when you are a bit cash-strapped….

This morning I set a challenge to myself (and to you) – make something with what you have – there you go…no online shopping or more drooling.

You can bend a wire hanger into a circle, like in this tutorial;
Or, bend the wire hanger in a heart shape,
Use an old frame
Or, an embroidery hoop
Try using a pool noodle
Twigs
Willow tree branches
Thick carton cut into shape
A LAUNDRY basket
Wood cut into a circle or other shape

Lots of ribbon or pieces of scrap fabric

Glue gun and sticks (optional)

and……

Chocolate Marshmallow Easter eggs (individually wrapped) – the only thing you are allowed to buy (unless you have the perfect recipe).

How to make the wreath:

Shape the wreath in the desired shape (if necessary).
Start at the top (or bottom), working your way down (or up).
You will have to experiment with the length of the ribbon or fabric. Tie the ribbon around your wreath and egg and make a bow. Cut the rest of your ribbon accordingly.
The marshmallow eggs are soft enough to be tightly wrapped.
Ensure that the eggs are falling in the same direction (it makes it so much easier).
Attach the centerpiece and decorate as you please.

I added small wooden bunny cutouts here and there (you can use the glue gun – I used press stick (multipurpose re-usable adhesive).

Attach a bigger bow to the top.

The world is your oyster – you can have ribbon with little bells hanging from the bottom or make felt bunnies.
