My Spring Collection

Spring has finally arrived!

Now if only the weather would get the message! It's still freezing cold and snowy here in northern Indiana and I am more than ready for some nice, warm, sunny weather!

I've been hard at work spending these gloomy Indiana days making bright, happy Spring wreaths and other home décor items for another round of craft shows. I just love Spring with all it's pretty colors and flowers and it's been especially fun translating that into my wreaths!

A colorful Spring wreath definitely adds a pop of much needed color and beauty to any front door, but I've actually branched out, so to speak, and started making birdhouses too! And painting terra cotta pots. You gotta diversify!

Here's my Spring Collection in all it's glory!

Forsythia is one of the first signs of Spring!

These giant Magnolias are perfect for any lover of Farmhouse décor!

What better way to welcome Spring than with these sunny yellow tulips and blue berries!

Hydrangea wreaths are one of my most popular styles and it's easy to see why!

Purple and Green!

You don't see too many wreaths with blue in them.

Hi!

The perfect way to welcome your guests to your home!

Pretty little pink flowers!

This is probably my most favorite wreath I've ever made!

Pastels are always spot on for Spring!

Okay, I must admit that I have never been a fan of deco mesh wreaths. Until this one! I think I'm actually going to keep this cutie for myself!

A great wreath if you're hosting an Easter Egg hunt!

I've had this burlap, lace, and carrot wreath in my head for a few years and it finally came to fruition!

Nothing says Easter quite like the Easter Bunny himself!

Birdhouses and nests are some of my favorite Spring décor items because they last well before Easter and can even stay out all Summer long!

Ombre makes everything cooler and metallics are super hot right now! These are perfect for a little herb garden!

The perfect Farmhouse pot.

This beauty would look great on a front door as a non-traditional wreath, but it would look just as awesome on a gallery wall!

Happy Spring!!!

Easter around my house!

I'm totally loving that I don't have to host Easter at my house this year! It's just nice to have a year off! But that doesn't mean I don't decorate. Decorating for the holidays is my favorite! And I especially love Easter with all it's fresh, pretty colors. Dare I say, it may be edging out Halloween as my favorite holiday?

I like to add at least one new item to my holiday decor per year. Honestly, let's put it this way - I try to limit myself to only one new item per year! As soon as the stores start putting out rabbits and eggs I get really excited and have to reign myself in! I could go crazy on Easter decor. And Halloween. And Christmas.

This year I couldn't resist the larger Peep pillow on my rocking chair. That kicked off Easter for me early this year and I started decorating in early March. My husband always wants me to put things away the day after the holiday, so I figured I'd just put it out sooner this year! 
 

Here's a little tour of some of my favorite Easter decor this year.

These are the famous Williams-Sonoma alabaster Easter eggs! I had wanted these for years, but they are a little pricey. Luckily, I found them for more than half off a few years ago right after Easter! They are my absolute favorite Easter decoration!

I like the way they look in this basket. I got that little bunny at Hobby Lobby for less than a dollar last year! He's so cute!

This ceramic rabbit from Pier 1 is probably my second favorite Easter decoration! They had a cute smaller bunny with a yellow flower this year that I may still get.

These peachy little flowers (Hobby Lobby!) stay out pretty much all spring and summer.

Here's a close up. I love them! They are so springy!

Another little rabbit from Hobby Lobby. It's actually a place card holder for your table, but my tablescape is not that formal. I like to get small knick knacks and just place them all over the house like this. It's a cheap way to decorate and adds a pop here and there!

Here's another rabbit that's actually a salt shaker (you can't tell unless you were inspecting it.) I got these pink flowers and the green vase from Ikea! I can't wait until they open the one by Indy!

Speaking of Ikea...I added these plastic "painted" eggs my mom gave me to my Ikea greenhouse. This was impossible to get a good shot of since it's so reflective, so sorry for the glare!

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. These ones look really good for faux flowers!

Hanging with my Peeps!

As everyone knows, I love my wreaths! I like to hang them on the inside of my door as well as on the outside.

I just love gel clings on windows! These bunnies and eggs are too cute! My front door has the perfect windows to display them!

On the outside of the front door is my homemade plastic Easter egg wreath!

I love these giant plastic Easter eggs in my front yard! I had them inside last year, which looked nice too.

I just planted these purple and yellow Celestial Nights Violas and I am loving them! My front porch is now ready for Easter!

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest!


Happy Easter!

DIY Easter Egg Wreath!

It's Easter time and Wreath Wednesday is here again! What better way to greet your guests than with this awesome Easter Egg Wreath on your front door?

 Made out of plastic Easter eggs, it is easy to make and easy on the wallet! It doesn't get much better than that!

Every door deserves a wreath! Inside and out, in my opinion. Although simple, this wreath packs a punch with it's bright colors and looks like something you would pay big bucks for at a store.

I love Easter! I think all the pretty colors are part of the reason why I love the holiday so much. Well, that and the candy! After a long, cold, and dark winter, bright pops of color and pastels are a very welcome sight!
 

Here's what you'll need:

 

 Plastic Easter Eggs (in whatever color scheme you like!)

A foam wreath

A hot glue gun

I probably used about 100 eggs. I'm all about bright rainbows of colors, but an ombre color scheme would be cool or even speckled bird eggs!

Just start gluing your eggs onto the wreath! Use a dot of hot glue on the part of the egg that will touch the wreath (generally, where the two halves meet.) You will need to hold them in place for a few minutes until the glue hardens. Try to get them as close together as you can, so as little of the wreath shows as possible. That's the toughest part of this craft!

Just keep gluing! I tried to keep all the eggs pointing the same way too.

I went as far on the sides of the wreath as I could without getting it on the backside. Speaking of the backside, I glued a pop tab to the back of the wreath in order to hang it easily!

Photo bomb!

Love it!

Happy Easter!
