Supplies

Painting the Eggs

You’ll need 12 large (3-inch) plastic eggs. Separate the top and bottom to make them easier to paint.

Note: I used plastic Easter eggs. You will see a seam. This didn’t bother me but feel free to use wood or plaster of paris eggs if you prefer a more seamless look.

For paint, I used white chalk paint mixed with a drop or two of acrylic paint to make pastel colors.

If you’d like to speckle your eggs, use an old toothbrush to flick brown paint onto them. I added a little water to brown acrylic paint to make a wash. This made it easier to flick paint from the toothbrush. Assemble your eggs first if you want the speckles to line up.

How to Assemble The Wreath

Once dry, put all twelve eggs back together. If your plastic eggs pop open easily you may want to glue them together.

Add Spanish moss to the inside of one of the wreath rings and place the eggs on top. Then top with the second wreath ring. Securing with wire on four sides—top, bottom, left, and right.

    Do you have a tutorial on the bow? Or did you purchase it already made? Thank you!

      Hi Madi!
      I made the bow using Dollar Tree ribbon. I don’t have a tutorial but there’s a good one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3vw701x06c from Dave’s Wreaths if you’d like to try making one.

    Thanks for sharing this cute wreath idea. I love the version I created based on your tutorial. I glued wide, wire-edged ribbon to the bottom wreath form to give the moss something to stick to, then interspersed dollar tree carrots amongst the eggs for more color and visual interest. Finally, I hung it in tandem with a bunny/Easter egg sign I found at dollar tree.

      Hi Connie, such a great idea to add the carrots! Dollar Tree is always coming out with new things and I love this year’s spring selection. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Happy Easter!

    Quick question. The dollar tree wreath forms do not fit together to fully enclose eggs. Is this ok? Just using wire will hold the in?

      Hi Bitsy! The two wire forms do not fully come together on the sides. The wire holds everything together.
