DIY Easter Egg Basket Wreath

Easter· Home Decor· Spring· Wreaths

When I pictured this project in my head, to be honest- I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. So I sat on the materials for a while. When I finally put this DIY egg wreath together, it was so easy and turned out SO DANG ADORABLE, that I wondered why I worried and waited!

What are you waiting for? Let’s dig in!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY egg wreath:

  • 10 inch Grapevine Wreath
  • 8 inch Grapevine Wreath
  • Mossy Twig Vine Garland
  • Spanish Moss
  • Spring Ribbon
  • 1.5 inch Wood Eggs
  • Floral Wire
  • Pink Chalk Paint
  • Escape Blue Chalk Paint
  • Delicate Yellow Chalk Paint
  • Brown Acrylic Craft Paint

Begin by painting your wooden eggs. I chose yellow, pink and blue chalk paint. I used nine, 1.5″ eggs.

Coat the eggs with a couple of coats of chalk paint. Allow the paint to dry.

Using an old toothbrush, load the bristles with brown acrylic paint, and flick paint onto the eggs to give them a “speckled” appearance.

Using a hot glue gun, tack the smaller 8″ wreath to the 10″ wreath.

Further secure the wreaths together using some thin wire. Place the smaller wreath towards the back. This smaller wreath helps to create a back edge for your wreath “basket.”

Unwind the twig garland. Lay it across the wreath (smaller wreath on the back), and trim the ends to fit the width of the wreath with a little bit of overhang. (We are basically creating a twig “wall” on the front of the wreath as a basket to hold the eggs in place.)

Tack the ends of the twig garland pieces to the wreath using hot glue, and then secure the ends with wire.

Cover any exposed wire with Spanish moss. Add moss to the bottom of the basket you created.

Using hot glue, adhere your painted eggs into the basket. I glued a couple of eggs on the edges of the basket, and then glued the remaining eggs to each other.

Add a cute plaid bow to the top of your DIY egg wreath.

Now find a place to hang your newest Easter decor!

It turned out “eggs”actly how I wanted it to! (Corny Easter pun.)
