Make an EASTER WREATH

THESE STYLISH DECO FOAM EGG WREATHS WILL LOOK GREAT IN ANY HOME THIS EASTER

-

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Franchevil­le Mountain Wreath 3 x packets of Shamrock Craft Deco Foam Egg

Value Pack

Acrylic paint x 4 colours Large paint brushes Water to clean brushes

Hot glue gun and glue sticks 2 x Erica Spray 65cm Pink Critters Small Feather Butterflie­s

HOW TO MAKE

STEP 1:

Decide on your colour theme – we chose a pastel colour palette. Then use acrylic paints in that colour theme to paint the assorted deco foam eggs in different colours. Paint all 3 packets of eggs so you have plenty of sizes to play with when assembling your wreath. You will need to do a few layers of paint as the foam soaks up the paint easily. Allow the eggs to dry between each coat and set aside to dry once you are finished. Clean your brushes in water.

STEP 2:

Pull apart the Erica Spray sprigs so you have individual pieces to spread across the wreath.

STEP 3:

Once the eggs are dry you can begin to assemble your wreath. Use the hot glue gun to glue the eggs on to the wreath, alternatin­g the different sized eggs and colours to create an interestin­g pattern. Make sure to apply more glue where the eggs touch the wreath to firmly secure them in place. Allow the glue to dry completely.

STEP 4:

Fill in any gaps around or between the eggs with the Erica sprigs. Again use the hot glue gun to secure them in place.

STEP 5:

Lastly scatter some of the feather butterflie­s around the wreath and again glue in place.

STEP 6:

To finish, hang up your wreath!
