A beautiful Easter wreath becomes a real eye-catcher in the hallway or on the door! It's tinkered in no time – we'll show you how it's done.
Decorated with simple colors and guinea fowl feathers, the natural beauties are used to decorate walls, doors or windows. It is child's play to re-tinker, only pulling it onto a wire hanger requires a bit of tact. The plants? Pearl hyacinths and billy roses.
Make an egg wreath – this is how it works!

Manual:
- For the wreath, bend the bracket apart with flat-nose pliers so that it becomes circular. To open the round, clip the wire below the hook with the side cutter and bend it to the side.
- To wrap around the top of the hook, apply a dab of glue, gently press the end of the yarn there and let it dry for ten minutes. Wrap the hook very tightly with the thread and finally attach the thread to the lower end of the hook with a dab of glue.
- First, carefully wipe the eggs with a damp cleaning cloth and let them dry.
- Use the thick needle to widen both blow-out holes to form an approx. 5 mm hole.
- Paint the eggs with paint or / and stick feathers on them. Let dry. Now, very carefully slide each egg onto the wire hanger with the round end first, leaving approx. 5 mm space between the eggs.
- After the last egg, carefully bend the previously clipped end of the wire with the flat-nose pliers into a locking hook. Hook this onto the hanger, wrap it tightly with jute thread and then tie a loop with a double knot.
- Cut seven pieces of 10 cm thread and wrap them around the wire several times between the eggs. Knot the ends together.
