Good morning y'all! Are you seeing signs of Spring outside yet? Here in Georgia, it's cold and windy again with rain coming back tomorrow, then 70 degree temps this weekend!! Crazy weather this year, but time marches on, so I'm decorating for Spring & Easter!
A few weeks ago, I was at Michaels and saw the most darling wreath. It was covered in yellow feathers then dotted with Easter eggs and really, really cute. The frugal decorator in me knew I could make it for less than the $30 price tag Michaels wanted...so I went on a scavenger hunt. It took two trips to do it cheaply!
I bought 3 Craft Boas (they are next to the costume boas, wrapped on cards and cost $1.99 each), 3 picks of small glitter Easter eggs (99 cents each). I went twice so I could use 2 of the 40% off coupons on 2 of the boas.
At home I found a wreath form (styrofoam) I bought at Dollar Tree a while back, and I cut a length of sheer pink ribbon. I wrapped the boas (2 hot pink, 1 light pink) around and around the wreath. I glued the ends down. Then I cut the eggs so that each had about 1 1/2" of pick left to stick in the wreath. Once it was done, I tied the ribbon around the top of the wreath and hung it on my wreath hanger. Voila!!! Instant Easter decor and it's all the things I love about Easter decorating: bright, glittery and FUN! Even better, it was very inexpensive - even with tax, I believe it was about $9 for everything! I absolutely love it. I think it looks adorable with my teal front door!
