Let’s get started

Alright, y’all, the first step to making this adorable Easter wreath is to wrap your burlap ribbon around your wreath form.

You’re going to hot glue the end of the ribbon for your initial wrap, then continue wrapping the ribbon around the wreath form.

Make sure you keep the ribbon pulled rather tightly as you’re wrapping it. You’re going to want to watch the Facebook Live video replay to see how I stopped wrapping the burlap to make it look cohesive across the entire wreath!

Set your burlap wreath to the side, and grab your wooden bunny. It’s time to decoupage the bunny with the scrapbook paper pattern of your choice!

First, place your scrapbook paper design down and put the bunny on top of it.

Then, trace around the bunny so you can trim the scrapbook paper to the exact size of the bunny. This will make decoupaging the scrapbook paper much easier.

How to decoupage

Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the front of your wooden bunny and carefully place the scrapbook paper onto the bunny.

You want to try and avoid creating any wrinkles or creases, but if they do happen, you can go over the paper with a rolling pin to smooth them out.

Next, I worked on the wooden egg. As y’all know, I am not a fan of glitter, so I used a sanding sponge to take off most of the glitter on the wooden egg.

Use a clean paintbrush to dust off the loose glitter, then paint your egg light grey. I used Dixie Belle Drift Wood Chalk Paint and painted over the glitter to tone down the pink. I didn’t do an even coat so that I would still have a pink undertone, but it wouldn’t be so sparkly.

Then, I then dabbed around the edges of the wooden egg with Dixie Belle Fluff Chalk Paint just to add a bit of dimension to the color of the egg.

Once the paint is dry, hot glue the egg over the center of the burlap wreath, and hot glue the decoupaged bunny over the center of the egg.

The finishing touches

Now it is time to add the fake grass! I bought a mat of fake grass that you remove in small pieces. I hot glued them in place, one small piece at a time, to the bottom of the wreath, underneath the bunny.

As I was hot gluing the fake grass, I would hot glue the colored eggs to make them look like they were sitting in the grass! Once the glue dries, you’re ready to hang this adorable Easter wreath on your front door!
