Easter Wreath Dollar Tree Crafts


This wreath was made with materials from the Dollar Tree.

Supplies needed:

14 inch wreath form

Deco mesh. (DT size is 5 inches wide with 15 yards on each roll.
I used 1 1/2 rolls of white, blue, pink and purple.

I also purchased 4 rolls of various Easter themed-ribbons.  The ribbons are cut at 9 inches and dove-tailed on the ends.  Each roll of ribbon has 3 yards on it.  I have about 1/4 roll of each ribbon left.

Pipe cleaners-  you will need 1/2 of a pipe cleaner for each "tube" bundle.  I have about 33 bundles.  You will also need a full pipe cleaner to attach to the back of the bunny.  I used 3.

Foam eggs-  the package had 12 in it.  I used 9.

Hot glue gun

Scissors and/or rotary cutter

Instructions:

Cut the mesh at 5 inches.  Roll into a tube.  Hold onto tube or use a clothespin to hold the tube.  Three (3) tubes make a bundle.  Use 1/2 pipe cleaner to hold bundle together and then put on wreath form.  I use the 2 middle rings.  If you are placing ribbon on the bundle, make it the same and add the ribbon facing you last.  I put a ribbon on every other bundle.

It will look like a hot mess until you are about half-way through and then it really comes together.

I then hot glue the pipe cleaners to the back of the bunny and attached it to the wreath.

I hot glued the foam eggs to the mesh and made 2 small ribbons for the bunny ears.

Check out Amber- "This Southern Girl Can" on YT.  Her tutorials are the best and easy to follow.

Have a crafty day!
