Easter decor and my 2nd craft

Remember when I made my Valentine's wreath?  Well, I found my second project to copy (ha!) and I am just as proud of this one as well.  Just in time for spring and Easter too!

I got my idea from here and off I went to Michael's, the paint store and Arista for a piece of wood.  The lady at Michael's was so helpful.  I basically showed her a picture and she pointed me to the wreath and the flowers and showed me how to "stick" them in.  I made my own stencil from stencil paper (since I don't have the $250 machine that the real crafty person used).  I think everything turned out really cute.  The only thing that didn't work is hanging the block from my wreath because it was too heavy so I have it sitting next to my Easter egg wreath on my front porch which I think is just as cute.


(there will be some hydrangeas sitting here too hopefully tomorrow!)



and I'm also having this little thing printed and put in a 16x20 frame (like I did with my Valentine's one) but I'm not sure where it will go just quite yet.  I found it here.


And I feel like I will be making a summer, fall, and winter block in the future :)

HAPPY SPRING Y'ALL!

  1. GIRL! I am so impressed with your craftiness! I never did make the Valentine wreath, but PROMISE I will for next year. And - I love the Easter/Spring wreath! Where did you get your egg wreath?
