Easter Parade Wreath

There I was…

like every year of my childhood, in a new Easter dress with new shoes.

Every year like clock work.

You see, I come by my love for seasons and holidays rightly.

 

My passion for color, holiday food, holiday decor, crafts, DIY ~ it all comes from my Mom.  Every year, every holiday we were decked out, buttoned up, laced up, tied up to the max in a new outfit she sewed for us.  It was probably finished the night before the holiday with a mess left in the sewing room (I inherited that part as well) but it still counts.  So I thought it was only fitting to make an Easter wreath that included my love for everything that’s Easter-ish.  I kinda went crazy with a lot of accessories on the wreath.  It has a little bit of everything.  That’s why I decided to call it my Easter Parade Wreath.

 I got into my long lost stash of fabric.  Think or Sing:  “Reunited and it feels so good!”  And you’ll know exactly how I felt going through my stash.  It had been awhile, to say the least!  While I was going through my stash, I also found my box of covered buttons.

 

At first, I wasn’t sure about covering the buttons with my Spring stash of fabric, but the more I started visualizing the wreath, the more I liked the idea of using covered buttons.  They kinda look like Easter eggs – kinda.

 

I only had 1 spool of the pink & white stripe ribbon, so I used a bag of pink paper grass from the Dollar Tree and hot glued it on the wreath.  Now I will worn you – BECAREFUL doing this.  Use a pencil to poke it in place instead of your finger so the hot glue wont burn you.

I found the Bunny ornament at Joann’s, and just hot glued it onto the wreath as well.  That bunny and the pink grass are the only things I purchased for this wreath.  I love how it all came together.

 See, it’s like an Easter Parade but all on a wreath, don’t you think?

 The only thing missing is the chocolate bunny that I already ate.  😉
