Craft Project #21 – Egg shape wire wreath turned into an Easter Basket wreath

I had an idea.. is it possible to make an egg shape wreath form look like an Easter basket??? Let’s find out.

The supplies: one egg shape wire wreath form, yarn, ribbon, flowers, bows from Dollar Tree, Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss yarn in the color white from Hobby Lobby, and scrap material left over from other spring/Easter craft projects.

I cut the paper strips down to 1/2 to3/4 x 7 inches. I had to decide how far up I want to use the fabric and then attached fabric strips just outside the brackets on each side. Using the Larks Head knot, I attached one fabric strip to the outer ring, then 2 fabric strips on the next ring, then 3 fabric strips, then 4 fabric strips on the last ring. I then attached fabric strips to the bottom section of the egg. My goal is to make this look like the lining in an Easter basket.

Once the bottom section was complete, I then used the Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss yarn to weave between the rings for the remainder of the wreath. This went real quick.

After I finished weaving the yarn on the wreath form, I cut out a piece of foam board and attached it to the back of the wreath. This will be used to attached the eggs to. After all, what’s an Easter basket without eggs????

I also attached a bow to the top of the wreath. This is a bow I made for a different project, but decided not to use. I also attached some of the Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss yarn to the top of the foam board.

I used Easter eggs purchased from Dollar Tree to fill the basket along with some left over pink Easter grass. I used Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue to attached the eggs to the foam board.

In no time at all, the wreath was completed and is ready to put up at my mom’s place when it is time to do the Easter decorating.
