For thousands of years, the egg has been a symbol of new life - and spring - for people the world over. Craft the time-honored symbol into a wreath for your door, and you've got the perfect way to welcome spring into your home.
Materials
- 14 plastic pull-apart eggs
- Puffy paint
- Egg cartons
- 2 large heavy-duty paper plates
- Scissors
- Glue
- Green craft foam
- Twist ties
Instructions
- First, decorate 14 plastic pull-apart eggs with puffy paint and let them dry. (Overturned egg cartons make great workstations and drying racks; just set each egg half over a carton cup bottom.)
- Cut the rims from the paper plates and glue them together. Glue green craft foam leaves around the ring, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them.
- To attach the eggs, tightly wrap twist ties (one for each egg) between the leaves around the paper plate ring, then simply close the egg halves together over the ties.
