Materials Used:
- Grapevine Wreath
- Burlap Ribbon
- Burlap
- Speckled Eggs
- Silk Fabric
- Flower Stems
- Hot Glue
- Alligator Clip
- Craft Foam
I bought a grapevine wreath, silk flowers and some burlap covered in lace to put this together. I used wire cutters to separate the flower bunches and trimmed the stems down to about three inches. The flowers are threaded through the grapevine.
I had a hard time deciding on which look I like best for this wreath.
To make the bow, I used my favorite bow making technique. This burlap ribbon is not wired, so it doesn’t give the stiff look that most of my bows have. But I liked this ribbon too much not to use it. It’s hot glued to the wreath.
To add a little touch of Easter to the wreath, I cut two egg shapes from plain burlap and one from burlap covered in lace. I used hole punch on a piece of craft foam and made some dots for the eggs, glued them together, glued on an alligator clip and clipped them beneath the flowers.
This was such an easy wreath to make and it didn’t cost much at all either. Using coupons at JoAnns kept the cost low. The lace covered burlap was something I found at Walmart on sale a few weeks ago.

Thanks so much, Laurie! I fell in love with that burlap ribbon color. I kept changing things up on it, with burlap eggs, without them, with the flower, without it. I have it hanging now with the flower and the burlap eggs. I think I’ve settled on that! Thank you for sharing and pinning.
Joy says
Beverly, this is soooo pretty! I love the colors you used- pinks and corals and yellows- very nice! The next-to-last sentence of your post, “What’s hanging on your door for Easter?” made me realize, “absolutely nothing, so far!!” You have inspired me to get busy! Pinning!! 🙂
Beverly Roderick says
Thank you, Joy! I loved the touch of coral, too. Glad to have inspired you to get busy on your door! Thanks so much for visiting.

Gorgeous wreath, Beverly! I really like both versions but I think it best with speckled eggs. Either way is perfect for Easter!
Beverly Roderick says
Thanks, Amy! That’s so nice of you. That’s my problem, I like it both ways. I’ve discovered that the burlap ones are curling at the bottom being outside, so the speckled ones are probably the best option. Thanks so much for visiting.

I love the speckled eggs! Tulips always remind me of Easter, its always the flower of choice that my Mom choses to decorate with for spring.
I will be featuring this wreath on my Friday Favorites this week, cheers!
