Easter is coming a little bit earlier this year than it has in the last couple. I always look forward to Easter because that means Spring. Spring is always nice to have arrive after a long cold and snowy winter. Today I’m going to share with you how to make this amazing Paper Easter Wreath. It’s a project that I shared over on the Core’dinations blog last year.

Paper Easter Wreath Supplies:
- Wreath Form
- Ribbon
- Bird Nest
- Plastic Eggs
- Glue Gun
- Pastel Patterned Paper
- Paper Trimmer
Start off by using your paper trimmer to cut 1″ x 12″ strips of paper.
Then cut each piece into 4″ lengths.
Using the glue gun, put a little bit of glue on the back of the paper at one end. Fold the paper like shown and glue together.
You’ll end up with a bunch papers like this.
Using the hot glue gun, start gluing them to your wreath form. Stagger them slightly to get the look and pattern like I did here.
Continue on all the way around your wreath form.
Take a piece of ribbon and glue it to the back of your birds nest. Then make a loop and glue the loop to the wreath form.
Use another piece of ribbon to loop through your loop to hang the wreath from. Then hang it on your front door or where ever you’d like to hang it.
The part that takes the longest is gluing all the papers to the wreath, but it sure is worth it! Don’t you think it turned out so pretty?
I love this! I usually curl my paper and make a curly paper wreath, but I love the way this looks and will give this version a try. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Can I see your curly one?
II would also like to see the curly one.
Amy, I love your wreath – the colors and patterns in the papers are so pretty together. Pinning your pretty wreath idea to share!
I love this Amy!! Where do you get your creativity? 😄
Thank you Mom! 🙂
What kind of paper are you using
I used double sided cardstock. The thickness of it helps it to keep its shape when it is rounded.
GREAT JOB LOVE IT.
What size wreath did you make? And how many sheets of paper?
Hi Marcia, I think I used a 10″ wreath form, and I have no idea how many sheets of paper I used. Looking at the photos, I think I used 14 different patterns and I would guess that I used more than a full sheet of each pattern, but not two full sheets. I just can’t remember.
That’s what I’d like to know as to how many strips of paper you need to cover the foam foam form as in the materials list. I don’t want to be 3/4’s of the way done with this then find out I have to order another books of cardstock. Directions should be written out as if a person has never done a craft in their lives.
