Homemade Easter Wreaths At Online Stores

By Dominique Martin


Many people think that making a wreath is an easy DIY project for them to attempt. It is in fact not that difficult to make a simple one if one has a good eye for combining textures and colors. It is possible however to use expensive materials in making one and then be dissatisfied with the final result. Fortunately, there are many homemade Easter wreaths available from online stores today that are beautifully made.

These items are often not that expensive when one considers all the materials used in their construction. Many of them are beautifully constructed by those with a real skill for combining colors and textures. They are often made to last and attention is given to every last detail. There are ones available to suit every taste in all sizes, shapes, colors and styles.

A shabby chic style will be perfectly complimented with burlap, pastel eggs and twigs. Twigs scattered with soft pastel colored eggs and studded with pink beads add a gracious touch. A stylish choice for a more modern home would be a bunny created out of boxwood and attached to a wooden base. A cheery yellow wreath with yellow daffodils and a big yellow bow brightens up any door.

An Easter wreath often contains eggs and these can be made of many different materials, from wood and plastic to embroidered fabric. These eggs are arranged in hundreds of different ways. Sometimes a large egg is centered in a frame and surrounded with flowers or many smaller eggs are scattered amongst twigs and moss. Ribbons, flowers and lace are used in creative combinations.

A wreath is usually round in shape but there are also squares, ovals and others available. For the square shapes, a frame is usually used to surround the other elements. Ovals are created out of twigs and may contain a basket with eggs inside. Bunny shapes are created out of wood and other materials.

The front door is a favorite position for hanging a wreath as it is a welcoming sight for those coming to visit. When toy bunnies or any soft materials are used, the door should have a large enough overhang to protect the item from the rain. Alternatively, it can be hung above a fireplace or on just about any other wall.

Flowers are often used and these may be dried or made from tissue paper and many other materials. Spring flowers like white or yellow daisies and daffodils make a beautiful display. Forsythia is usually associated with spring as it is one of the first plants to appear. Its yellow color when woven into a willow base creates a simple, yet appealing wreath. Wild flowers offer an informal appeal when combined with tiny eggs in complimentary colors.

When these items are made by hand, they take time to create. Beautiful artistry and detailed craftsmanship are combined to create some spectacular items.If ordering online, it is important to order in plenty of time as supplies may be limited and bought up quickly. When shopping online it is also important to select a reputable supplier to make sure that the product will be decently packaged so that it arrives in perfect condition.
