DIY Easter Wreath with Gold Leaf Speckled Eggs

Easter· Paper Mache· Wreaths

Hello fellow craft lovers! It’s Jennifer here today to share an Easter craft with you! I love this time of year, when the snow finally melts away and new life begins. To celebrate, I made this bright, cheery DIY Easter wreath with touches of gold leaf. The colors just scream spring!

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own DIY Easter wreath:ClickLinks1

  • 12 Inch Wreath Form*
  • Paper Mache 2 1/2 inch Eggs (48 total eggs)
  • La D’ore Composition Gold Leaf
  • DecoArt Acrylic Paint – Early Spring Green, Cherry Blossom Pink, Buttercream, Turquoise, and Lavender
  • Mod Podge
  • Foam Brush
  • Small Paint Brush
  • Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks

*(A grapevine wreath is used in this tutorial but STYROFOAM and wire wreath forms would also work with some project adjustments.)

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-2Begin by painting the eggs. I held them between my fingers, painted all the visible surfaces, set them on a piece of plastic, then touched up the spots where my fingers were.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-3For best coverage, apply two coats of paint.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-4When the paint is completely dry, begin attaching the eggs to the wreath form with hot glue. I found that it helped to glue the eggs to each other where they touch.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-5Once you’ve covered your entire DIY Easter wreath with the painted eggs, brush Mod Podge onto a small section of eggs in a random, speckled pattern.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-6Lay a sheet of gold leaf over the glued section. Press gently with fingers to adhere to glue. Repeat with another section until every egg has gold leaf covering it.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-7Let your DIY Easter wreath dry overnight. In the morning, gently rub your fingers across the eggs to remove the excess gold leaf.

Speckled-Egg-DIY-Easter-Wreath-Crafts-Unleashed-8After all of the excess gold leaf is removed, your wreath will look like this:

    What fun, but the result is definitely sophisticated. This would be a “keeper” for years to come. Love it!

    I think you could leave some of the eggs in half if you used the plastic easter eggs and stick a tiny bit of grass inside and a chic on top of the grass. Doesn’t that sound cute?
