DIY Easter wreath - holiday atmosphere in every detail

Easter is not just a holiday in the religious world; it is a great occasion to fill your home with a special mood and warmth. The scent of fresh Easter cakes, a basket prepared for going to church, decorated eggs - this list is great, but it doesn't hurt to add Easter decor. There are a lot of home decoration options, but a wreath made with your own hands will become a special symbol of hospitality.

Materials for making an Easter wreath

An Easter wreath is a ring-shaped arrangement that is usually placed on the front door or on the wall at the entrance and serves as a house decoration for the holiday. The rounded shape of this decor carries a special meaning, symbolizing infinity and the image of the Sun as one of the most important sources of life on the planet. To create an unusual decorative element, you have to take care of two things - the base and the decorations. So, as a base for creating a wreath are suitable:

• special foam mold;

  

  You can purchase a ready-made foam mold to create a wreath

• floristic circle;

• thin willow or birch branches;

  

  Thin willow branches can be the basis for an Easter wreath

• cardboard cutout.

To decorate the wreath itself, you will need various Easter symbols, for example:

• figurines of birds and bunnies (for example, they can be ordered from plywood laser cutting studios, or you can use small toys);

  

  Plywood bunnies are perfect for decorating a wreath.

• natural and artificial flowers and leaves;
• colored egg shells or purchased blanks of a similar shape;
• feathers;
• willow twigs;
• cuts of fabric and ribbons, etc.

The technical side of the issue is as simple as possible, you only need a glue gun, glue sticks for it and scissors.

How to assemble an Easter wreath

The process of collecting home decorations is not at all complicated, you do not need to have any special skills, it is enough to follow a simple algorithm of actions:

1. The first step is to create the base. If you did not have a finished shape, then you can make it by simply cutting out a circle from thick cardboard. If you wish, you can break the willow branches, soak them for a short time in boiling water for elasticity and intertwine them, closing them in a circle. To fix a wreath of branches, it is necessary to fix it in several places by rewinding it with thread or decorative tape.

   

   Steamed branches must be folded in a circle and tied with a rope

2. Decorating the base. Perhaps, only one base does not require decoration - from twigs, since it itself looks very beautiful. But the foam, floristic ring, cardboard blank must be covered with something. Satin ribbons of the desired color or regular rope will do. On a flat blank made of cardboard, you can stick a pigtail on top, which is made of bundles of threads. You can fix the selected decor using hot glue, simply wrapping the workpiece in a circle.

3. All that remains is to stick the decorations onto the decorated workpiece. It all depends on your imagination: you can fill the circle completely, you can concentrate all the elements in only one part of it, apply only a couple of colors and create a calm composition, or add the maximum amount of colors. The process of fixing the jewelry is very simple - you need to apply a drop of hot glue to the back and just press it against the workpiece in the right place.

   

   At the last stage, it remains only to stick the desired decor on the base
