Homemade Easter Wreath
Hi friends! Sorry for disappearing for a few days. We’ve been having fun, hanging with:
Honey! Ryan had a conference in Vegas this week (rough life), so my mom came to visit and spend some time with me and Lila! Lila has LOVED having Honey around—she’s a lot of fun. 
And I’ve loved having the extra help during the crazy teaching juggle that is my life. Ryan got back from Vegas last night, and we all went out to dinner. My mom flies back home today. 
But, we’ll see her again in a few weeks when we head to Shreveport for spring break (Spring Break, 2013, what, what?!?).
I wanted to share this cute, quick (well, relatively speaking) craft project I completed a few weeks ago:
My Easter wreath! I got the idea from a few different Pinterest pins (ummmmm, JUST now getting into Pinterest—OBSESSED). Some of the yard wreaths I saw were SUPER complicated, but I kept mine simple. Just the wreath, a “W” (for our last name), and a few pretty pink eggs!
I started with a simple circle foam wreath:
I picked a nice green yarn for the wreath, and wrapped the yarn around it nice and tight—honestly, this was the longest part of the project. It probably took about an hour(ish). It also took longer because someone:
…was all too interested in the yarn. Don’t ever take on a yarn project when you have a crazy, destructive cat in the house. Apparently yarn is the cat version of a speedball.
At Michael’s, I also picked up some styrofoam eggs and a wooden “W.” To decorate the wreath, I wrapped pink yarn around the eggs, and blue yarn around the “W.” I attached the eggs and letter with a hot glue gun, tied a pretty yellow ribbon around the top for hanging, and voila! My Easter wreath was complete!
You can find much more complicated versions of this wreath on Pinterest, but again, I kind of like the simplicity of my creation!
Happy Friday!
Looks great
Hope Ryan had a great time in Vegas, more fun than the Saved by the Bell wedding special.
Ha! Honestly, I think he thought it was kind of sad– a little less “Hangover” and a little more “Leaving Las Vegas” if you will.
You’re always so creative!
Thanks Heather!
I love that wreath!!! I see so many things on Pinterest that I want to make and tell myself that I am going to do a bunch of projects when I have a break from school. Wellllll this week was Spring Break, care to ask how many projects I did? Um, none. Spring Break FAIL!
Hahaha…I’m totally doing that to. Oh well– at least the pinning is fun.
You look exactly like your mom!
That’s funny– people always say that, but we don’t really see it!
I am all about the yarn wreath. But I know what you mean. Ben’s just like Tenny, kept batting at the yarn while I was trying to wrap the wreath.
I never actually have the willpower to make those adorable things on Pinterest, but this is good motivation- your wreath is so pretty!
Thanks Saguna!!
I did a couple of yarn wreaths for Christmas gifts but have yet to do one for myself. I don’t have a Spring wreath for my own door….hmmmm, a weekend craft project perhaps?! Yours looks great!!!!
Thanks Andrea!
I have 0 (seriously) artistic ability. SO cute. Love the wreath. And the name honey!!
Ha– I have ZERO artistic ability too, so this was right up my alley.
Just read your blog on the plane waiting to fly home. Thanks for a wonderful time! Lila is a doll (but you know that!).
We had a great time!! Thanks for coming!
You look just like your mother! (Two lovely ladies, of course.) And this wreath tutorial makes me want to make one tonight before a party we’re throwing tomorrow – that crafting urge always comes at the wrong time for me! Very cute.
Ha, that always happens to me too.
I love it!!! You’re so crafty, it’s amazing. Can I just buy one from you?! haha No, but seriously.
Ha! Trust me, you could definitely make this!
Cute pics, so sweet of you mother to visit and you two look a lot alike!
The wreath is adorable, wish I was more crafty!
Thanks Christine!
