An Easter Wreath

Date Submitted: October 02, 2006
This wreath is a lovely little addition to your spring decor.
An Easter Wreath
Materials:
  • 1 small styrofoam wreath 8" across
  • 3 1" strips of pretty fabric 44" in length
  • Scraps of fabric and stuffing for bunny
  • Ribbon to attach flowers
  • Artificial flowers with same colors as fabric strips
  • Fabric glue
The trick here is to co-ordinate your fabric with your flowers. If you have some pretty flowers, then choose fabric with the same colours. If you have the fabric, choose flowers with similar colours.

Tear 3, 1" strips of fabric 44" long and wind around the wreath.
Keep ends in the back. Raw edges will show and this is fine.
Glue ends of strips down with a dab of fabric glue.
Free hand draw a bunny. Mine is approx. 5" high from tip of ears to neck edge.
Trace on 2 layers of fabric which are a neutral colour.
Place wrong sides together and stitch around outer edge along marked lines leaving neck edge open for stuffing.
Cut out and trim close to stitching line.
Draw or embroider face.
Stuff lightly Embellish with whatever you have.
I glued on a ribbon rose for her Easter Bonnet.
Glue bow to cover raw neck edge.
Glue bunny head to one side of fabric covered wreath.
With lengths of ribbon go around the wreath, tying on flowers as you go.
Tie on flowers securely.
Glue ribbon ends down.
