DIY Easter Egg Wreath

Hey Y'all,
Easter is right around the corner so I wanted to do a budget Easter decor project. I love spring, the colors this time of year brings just blow me away. This past week was spring break so my mom and I did crafts down at the lake house (AKA my favorite place in the world!!).  It is so beautiful and peaceful there!

Back to the project! I made an easter egg wreath, and if I do say so myself, it turned out so cute! It was a frustrating project, but I finished it anyway. Some pictures of steps are missing because I had to re-do the eggs a couple of times. Anyway, here is the step by step!

I started with two sizes of easter eggs that I got at the Dollar Tree. I used several colors of acrylic craft paint and one color of chalk paint. *Not pictured: glue gun, glue sticks, paints brushes, moss and wreath form.

Then I painted each egg. This part was so easy a booger to do!!  I found it easier to hold them like this and do one side at a time, let that side dry, then do the second side (LOTS of trial and error here!). The paint went on smoother when I mixed in a little of the chalk paint. In hindsight, I should have just bought several colors of chalk paint and did it that way. But i was being cheap budget savvy and used what I had on hand.

You can see in this picture how I did one side of the egg then did the other.

This is the finished product before adding spots. You can see the seams but once they're on the actual wreath they aren't as noticeable. Again, I was going for a budget friendly project. So, I knew it wasn't going to be perfect.

Next, I hot glued the egss onto a green foam wreath. Once the eggs were dry I added dots/spots using a toothpick and chalk paint. Then I hot glued moss (from Michael's) in between all the eggs.

Here it is on my front door! I love how it turned out! *Side note: the door is buttercream yellow because we still haven't gotten around to doing a wood faux finish. We need time! I hope you enjoyed this craft tutorial! I wish I had gotten EVERY step on camera, but I'm still learning. :)
