Last week we had a few storms come rolling through our area with flooding rains and high winds. By the time it was all over, our yard was a mess and one of my door wreath’s were missing. Sigh, those spring storms really did some damage and totally caught us off-guard.
The Easter holiday is just a week away and I wanted to replace my now missing door wreath with something new. I decided to challenge myself by using supplies that I already had on-hand, except for the metallic plastic eggs which I picked up at Big Lots for $2.00 for a pack of twelve. The white grapevine wreath I purchased on clearance a few months ago for $1.00 and the metallic turquoise mesh ribbon was bought on sale last summer for $1.25 for the entire roll. I like to pick up clearance craft supplies and store them away until I need them.
Craft Project: How to Make a Simple Easter Door Wreath
White Grapevine Wreath
Metallic Plastic Easter Eggs – Big Lots 12-pack for $2.00
1 Roll Metallic Turquoise Mesh Ribbon
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks (I used 4 glue sticks)
Note: If you can’t find a white grapevine wreath, pick up a can of white glossy spray paint and paint a natural or brown wreath to make it white.
To make my simple Easter wreath, I wrapped some of the turquoise colored mesh ribbon around the wreath and tacked the ends down with hot glue. I then went back and tacked the mesh ribbon down in several additional places with a drop of glue to make sure it holds.
I snapped all of the plastic eggs together and then used some hot glue to adhere them onto the front of my wreath as shown in the above photograph. I could of covered the entire thing with eggs, but I wanted to leave space between them to let the pretty mesh ribbon show through.
Using the turquoise mesh ribbon, I made a medium-sized bow and glued it at the top of the wreath. In my stash of left-over craft supplies I found a small hot pink glittered egg and decided to glue that onto the center of my bow. You can leave your bow plain or decorate it even fancier if you like. I like more simple and plain things myself.
In less than 15 minutes, I had a new Easter wreath hanging up on my door. Grant ya, it’s not a designer piece, but I really like it and it didn’t cost me a lot of money to make.

Amazing that you did this in such a short time and having to buy only $2 worth of supplies. I like that it is simple and creative and just perfect for the holiday.
I really like that one. We had storms last week, too, & it got wild. Fortunately, nothing blew away here, but nearby people had lawn furniture blowing around! I guess the lesson is: if you really like you door wreaths, bring them in when it storms, lol.
If I could make a wreath like this one in less than 15 minutes I would never buy a store bought wreath again. I need to try to do more crafts like this one to decorate my home.
