Easy Spring Crafts for Kids- Project 3: Easter Egg Wreath

I just love spring and the many activities we can do during this time with our kids.  As I mentioned on our first post, I love spending quality time with our children which is very important to me.  

Ms. Bree knows how much I enjoy making new wreaths for our home.  Therefore, she wanted to make one for her room.  Instead of buying all the materials I would normally buy to make a wreath for our front door, I decided to buy this pack of 30 Foam shapes. 

All Easter theme items are on sale at 50% off their regular price at our local crafting store and the final price for the foam shape pack for $4.79.  They already have the "egg" shape we need and the pastel colors are perfect for this project.

PROJECT 3

EASTER EGGS WREATH  

Unlike the last two projects, your little ones are going to required a little bit more of your help, specially with the assembling of the wreath.

What you will need to have: 

13 Oval Shape Foams (or Easter theme scrapbook paper);
Glue;
Markers; and
Piece of Ribbon

First thing to do is to ask your child how big they want their wreath to be.  I used thirteen (13) shapes to create ours.  

The next step is to decorate the oval shapes.   You can use markers and draw lines, circles, flowers, whatever design your little one wants to have or you can print Easter Eggs Coloring pages, color, cut and paste them onto your shapes. 

Once the shapes are decorated to the satisfaction of your little artist, it is time to assemble the wreath. 

You will need two pieces of ribbon of you choosing.   Make a bow using your first piece of ribbon and glue it to the front.  

Add the second piece of ribbon to the back of your wreath to hang it and now you're all done!!   

There it is ladies and gentlemen.... for less than $5.00 your little one can create his or her own Easter Theme Wreath!! 

Happy Crafting and stay tuned for our next Easy Spring Crafts for Kids!!  

Modifying Your Spring Wreath to an Easter Wreath

Hello everyone!

A few a days ago I shared a quick DIY post on how to easily create a Spring Wreath.  If you missed our post, you can see it here:

Today I will be sharing with you how I easily converted my spring wreath into an "Easter Wreath" instead of buying all the materials needed in order to create an Easter Theme Wreath.  After all, we are all in the business of saving money when we can. 

I purchased my wooden bunny and the decorative eggs a couple of weeks ago from Michael's at a very low price.  The bunny was only $1.79 and my little branches with glittery eggs were 0.89 cents each!  I don't think it can get any better than that, right?

By carefully removing our initial "C" from the center of the wreath, I then placed our glittery and beautiful bunny.  I added our sparkling eggs all around the wreath to re-create the feeling of "bunny hiding the Easter eggs".  

My children happily volunteered to help me find the perfect spot for all of our tiny eggs. 

And here it is, the final result! For less than $4.00 we were able to give our Spring Wreath a quick make over and it's now our beautiful Easter Wreath!

Stay tuned for our next spring post!
