A beautiful Easter wreath becomes a real eye-catcher in the hallway or on the door! Here we show you how to make the egg wreath.
The natural beauties are decorated with simple colors and guinea fowl feathers for wall, door or window decoration. It’s child’s play to tinker with, only mounting it on a wire hanger requires a bit of finesse. The plants? Pearl Hyacinths and Lenten Roses.
Make an egg wreath – that’s how it works!
For the wreath:
For the eggs:
Directions:
- For the wreath, bend the bow apart with the flat-nose pliers so that it becomes circular. To open the round, snip the wire below the hook with the side cutter and bend it to the side.
- To wrap, apply a dab of glue to the top of the hook, gently press the end of the yarn there and allow to dry for 10 minutes. Wrap the yarn very tightly around the hook and finally secure the yarn to the bottom of the hook with a dab of glue.
- First wipe the eggs carefully with a damp cleaning cloth and let them dry.
- Enlarge both exhaust holes with the thick needle to a hole of approx. 5 mm.
- Paint the eggs and/or stick feathers on them. Let dry. Now very carefully push egg by egg onto the wire hanger with the rounded end first, leaving a space of approx. 5 mm between each egg.
- After the last egg, carefully bend the end of the wire you just cut off into a locking hook with flat-nosed pliers. Hook this onto the hanger, wrap it tightly with jute twine and then tie a loop with a double knot.
- Cut seven pieces of twine of 10 cm each and wrap them around the wire between the eggs several times. Knot the ends together.
