So I’ll be doing a new ‘feature’ possibly every few weeks, where my Monday posts will be about a ‘make’ I’ve completed. (Why a Monday, purely because of the alliteration.) This weeks Monday make is an Easter wreath! I like to decorate the living-room to match the seasons and with Easter approaching fast it was time for me to get decorating.
I’d seen a few wreaths in TKMaxx, however there was always a certain aspect that put me off (a wrong colour, not quite the right style, etc etc), therefore I decided to make my own. I headed to Hobbycraft and picked up some supplies;
A plain wreath – £3
Wire foam roses – £1
Wire paper flowers – £1
Packet of polystyrene eggs – £1
Box of chicks – £1
(I already had my glue gun and some moss)
As much as I love the tackiness of fluffy chicks, they were really out of place in this design and not in a good way so I decided to leave them off. After I’d had a play about with the layout, I got down to gluing everything down – aren’t glue guns just wonderful things!
I think it turned out really well! As tacky as those roses and flowers looked in the packets, I think they look quite pretty and delicate on the wreath. They came on wire stalks which I had to cut off so I could glue them on, and this left me with lots of green wire bits. Not wanting them to go to waste, I decided to create little spiral bits to add extra charm!
For something that cost around £5 to make, I believe it was totally worth it! I’ll be able to use it every year too. Does anyone else decorate for Easter?

Really beautiful! And you were right about the fluffy chickens, they don’t belong in there.
Thank you! Yeah, I definitely think they would have ‘cheapened’ it (no pun intended haha!)
