Spring/Easter Wreath


I wanted to make a wreath that was good for Easter and Spring so I went looking around Michael's for any idea. I was thinking I could cover it entirely in tulips, which I still may later, but found that it would be way to expensive so I had to find a plan B. Luckily, my wonderful husband Greg was with me. He found and chose these pink apple blossoms and also the ribbon. Isn't he fantastic? And what great taste! And I absolutely LOVE the finished product. He did so good! I feel like it is the perfect springy/Easter wreath. It is bright and cheery and welcomes warm weather, which I like.

I got the wreath, flowers, and ribbon at Michael's for $15.17. To make it I cut the long twigs apart and wove each one into the twig wreath. No glue-gun needed = no burned fingers = happy Amanda. Next, I cut the length of ribbon I wanted and tied each end to the wreath to hang it. I also cut some of the ribbon and tied little bows on the end of the ribbon next to the wreath for a finishing touch.

That's it. Easy, pretty, springy, and it also makes me look very crafty and talented. I'll take it!
