Boxwood Bunny Wreath for Easter
I'm a lucky girl. There's a bunch of reasons why, but the one you will appreciate is the fact that I do the marketing/advertising, social media managing, graphic design, and blogging for a home decor company that has nine stores throughout the southeast. That means I get to peruse Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Hometalk AND get paid for doing so. Not only that, I'm also on the clock when I get to make items for our blog.
Yes, you read that correctly. I get paid to create things. (Not nearly enough, mind you, but I won't go there.)
I'd seen a certain Easter wreath all over the internet and decided, since I have all of the materials within close proximity, I'd make one.
I grabbed two wreaths at the store: the first being a 14" tea leaf wreath...
and the other one is a 24" boxwood wreath. (Tea leaf and boxwoods are very, very similar. Once it's finished, I didn't think you'll be able to see the difference.)

Next, using floral wire, I attached the small wreath to the larger one.
I had previously made an Easter topiary for the blog. When I bought bunny ears for that project, I picked up another pair just in case. BTW...this time of year, bunny ears are EVERYWHERE. I found this pair at the Dollar Store. Using floral wire, I attached the headband to the back of the 14" tea leaf wreath.
At the store, I found a white peony bush and cut off one of the flowers. (You could use a white rose or dogwood bloom. It's just a matter of preference.) I attached it to the 24" boxwood wreath using floral wire.
Finally, to complete the wreath, I needed to make a bow. (I mean, a wreath isn't a wreath without a bow, right?)
All finished...and it looks like someBUNNY is all dressed up for Easter!
