Pastel Spring Wreath For Easter
 Why should Christmas be the only time that your
much-neglected front door gets to dress up? With these simple
instructions, you can make a beautiful wreath to welcome your
Easter guests.
Materials:
• Styrofoam wreath
• 2 10 ft rolls satin ribbon 1 ˝ to 2 in wide-different
colors that look good together (For a bright look, use pink and
lavender; for a more subdued look, use ivory and buttercup, or two
ribbons of the same color but a different style, e.g. sage green
ribbon in grosgrain and satin)
• Optional: Wired silk flowers that come in sprigs (waxflowers,
spray roses, baby’s breath)
• Straight pins
Directions:
1. Roll pastel green ribbon around the wreath to
completely cover it. Pin the ends of the ribbon at the backside.
2. Now wrap the peach colored ribbon creating
spaces in between for the green ribbon to show.
3. Finish by cutting off the ribbon at the end and
pinning it so that the pin does not show..
4. Now that your wreath is covered in ribbons,
there are a few different ways you can finish it off:
-
By decorating the top or bottom with a simple bow
using both ribbon colors.
-
Pin sprigs of small flowers randomly around
the wreath
-
Make a small arrangement of silk flowers and
greenery. Secure to the top of the wreath with hot glue. Then,
loosely tie a bow around the wreath and the middle of the
already-attached arrangement.
There are really no rules for an Easter wreath, so
you can have fun! If a more traditional style with greenery and
flowers suits you, do that, by all means. This is only one way to
let your front door be a part of the special celebration. Let your
imagination run wild!
