Homemade Easter Wreath for the Mantle

Its that time of year again, the time when one holiday or special occasion fades away and another is just around the corner. Well this year that corner is a very short corner, St Patricks Day fades very quickly away and Easter will be upon is in a very few days. So the Fireplace Wreath needed changing. Today I share yet another Homemade Easter Wreath.

Creating the Easter Wreath

I love my Fireplace Wreath, it stays up year round and with a few quick changes it just brightens up the room. For the past few years I have left the burlap ribbon as a base, it creates additional fullness and texture to what ever ribbons and colours I choose.

To begin the transformation I first remove all the decor related to the holiday, so the poinsettias and red were removed. I took the decor off the wreath and then ensured the red theme was gone. My 2019 oops was not creating a St Patrick’s Day wreath and keeping the Christmas up way too long. I do love the Christmas Season though, so the wreath made me happy.

Easter Finery

Lately I have been loving the seasonal garlands from Michaels. Wait for a great sale and pick up a few fun garlands. It helps create the perfect wreath for the holiday. If you recall, I started that trend back in the fall with the Pumpkin Wreath.

My 2019 Easter Wreath has three unique garlands, a felt swag, a bunny garland and a full greenery Easter egg swag.I add each garland swag individually and create the perfect seasonal decor.

Making a homemade Wreath for Easter

If you have been around you know I have a very large wreath on my mantle that I de-frock and re-decorate each season. I love my wreaths and adore creating fun new looks. The last few years deco mesh has been my claim to fame but I think I may be on a new trend.
