A few weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a link to Jolly Mom. Piera posted a blog looking for guest bloggers. One of her requests was for a blogger who had a craft in mind, so I took up the challenge. I have never been a guest blogger before and have looked forward to this post. My name is Christy Hadland. I am a stay at home mom to two active little boys in Capitola By the Sea. I spend my days with my boys running them from here to there and am always thinking of fun projects to do in my free time. Sometimes I include the boys and sometimes I work alone. Like most of you I see something at Target or other little boutique and think "No, way am I paying that---I can make it myself!" Recently, I saw a very similar Easter Wreath at Target, it was about $12.99. I went to one of my favorite places, The Dollar Tree. I gathered up my supplies for half the price of the Target wreath.
Here is what you’ll need to do this very simple wreath project:
A wreath form
6 bags of easter eggs. I used 63 eggs to be exact.
Scissors and a glue gun. Cut the strings off of the Easter eggs, then glue them all they way around the form. I started at the top of the form and worked my way around.
I tried out in a few different places....Spring has sprung!!
I love it! go crafty mama... I bow down to your creative ways, and think gosh I'm glad I have a friend who does stuff like this, cuz I sure don't! :) Every once in a while I throw a decoration up and think how proud you'd be of me! lol.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you like to make it decorative for each holiday and use things your boys would enjoy looking at. I do the same too. Just love doing crafts although I dont have too much time except for when I do my big groups and then you are too busy helping everyone to do your own. Anyone, Happy Spring and Happy crafting. Good going! Love Patricia
