Easter Wreath

hi i made this wreath out cardboard, easter eggs,easter grass, hot glue
I cut cardboard circles for the base. Mine were 12 inches on the outside and the inside was cut at 9 inches. If your cardboard is not really heavy, cut 2 circles and glue them together, that is what I had to do to get them firm enough to hold all the eggs.I used 4 dozen (I know that sounds like a lot, I was surprised too). I used the iridescent eggs and grass.
It took almost an entire package of grass. I found the eggs at Walmart and the grass at K-Mart.Using a hot glue gun, glue the eggs on the outside of the wreath first, facing the "fattest" part of the egg on the inside of the wreath. Do the same with the inside row of eggs. I used a hot glue gun for all of my glueing and it worked great, I don't think mine gets as hot as some might.On the bottom two rows always face the "top" or skinny part of the egg out. When both rows are complete add eggs to the top at random. Leave a gap between the two rows and fill this in with the bow, it needs a place to rest down in.It gets prettier when the grass and bow is added, grass covers a multitude of sins, trust me. I would poke it in lots of places if I thought it would cover.We put grass around the outside, inside and randomly in-between the eggs. See the big hole between the blue and yellow egg, that is a perfect spot to put some grass and cover up that big hole. We also gave it a "haircut" when we were thru to even it up a little. http://countryis.blogspot.ca/p/crafts.html

So cute. Looks like a great art project for the younger grand babies. Not the hot glue of course. They can add glitter to the eggs and I could use elmers glue to get the grass in place. Fun!
