Dollar Tree Inspired DIY Easter Egg Wreath Decor

As I browsed for Easter decor, I was captivated by a visually stunning piece that instantly caught my attention.

Upon closer examination, the elements used seemed familiar to me as a DIY enthusiast. However, the price tag left me feeling underwhelmed, considering my knowledge of its components.

Determined to create something equally impressive, I left the store and began envisioning how I could replicate it.

Back home, I scoured my household for resources to craft a similar Easter egg wreath decor. To my delight, I managed to replicate it even better than I had imagined.

Excited to share my experience, I believe this DIY guide will be invaluable in helping you create your own unique Easter Egg Ring Decor.

But first let’s take a quick look at the items I used to bring this DIY Easter ring decor to life:

• Packaging Strips: I’ve used the plastic strips to make the decor rings. These strips were wrapped around the cardboard box of an electronic item I’d recently ordered.
• Carpenter’s measurement tape: I’ve used the carpenter’s measurement device to measure the Strip sizes for rings.
• Scissor: To cut the required elements especially the plastic strips I’ve used a scissor.
• Hot Glue Gun: I’ve used a hot glue gun to stick the edges of the circles formed using the plastic strips.
• Super Glue: To stick the strip circles firmly together I’ve used the super glue. Also, it helped me stick elements where the glue gun stood weaker.
• Acrylic Paint and a Paintbrush: I’ve used acrylic paint colors such as black and golden ones to paint the circles.
• Artificial Decor:  To offer a touch of decor or a fine finishing I’ve used a few artificial decor items available in my household.

Now that we’ve covered the elements used to create the DIY Easter Egg Wreath Decor, let’s progress to the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Marking the required Strip Sizes

Here, I’ve turned packaging strips into the perfect rings for my Easter egg wreath.

First, I shaped these strips into a circle, tweaking it until I got the size just right.

Then, it was all about getting the length perfect for each ring.

I grabbed a carpenter’s tape measure – you know, the kind you find in any toolbox – and measured out 7.5 inches for each piece.

It’s a simple trick, but it made all the difference in bringing my vision to life.

Step 2: Cutting the required amount of strips

In this step, I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the first strip to the exact measurement.

Then, I used that initial strip as a template to cut the others, ensuring they were all the same size.

So, I lined it up and snipped away, focusing on getting each one just right.

For my project, I needed nine rings, so I ended up with nine perfectly sized strips. This method kept everything uniform, making the next steps a breeze.

Step 3: Forming the ring

Next, I set out to create a ring from one of the strips I had cut earlier.

Grabbing my hot glue gun, I quickly learned that these strips were stubborn and didn’t bend easily.

When the hot glue wasn’t enough to hold the edges together, I reached for the super glue.

It’s like the strips had a mind of their own, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

With a bit of patience and the right adhesive, I successfully formed the first ring. It was a small victory, but it felt like a big win to be very honest.

Step 4: Making multiple rings

I managed to craft the nine rings my project needed.

Even though it took some time to dab on the glue and press the edges together firmly for each one, I made sure they were all sturdy.

Patience was key here, ensuring each ring was strong enough for the wreath. It was a bit of a process, but seeing those rings ready and resilient made it all worth it.

Step 5: Stick The Rings Together

To make sure everything held together tightly, I turned to Super Glue for bonding the rings one by one.

This step was a bit time-consuming, as I had to apply the glue, then press and hold the edges until they stuck firmly and the glue dried smoothly.

There were about fifteen spots where I needed to be extra careful to ensure a strong bond.

But, I got the structure just right, ready to move on to the next phase of my project.

It was a meticulous process, but seeing the framework come together exactly how I envisioned it was incredibly satisfying.

Step 6: Painting the rings inside out

Once the structure was dry, I moved on to painting it thoroughly, opting for a sleek black color.

Acrylic paint was my go-to choice for its vibrant finish and durability.

Painting each ring from all sides took some time, but it was a crucial step in the process that demanded patience.

The real challenge lay in achieving a deep, even black over the embossed textures of the plastic strips.

I had to brush carefully to ensure the paint covered every nook and cranny, bringing out the beauty of the texture beneath.

Step 7: The Golden Touch

Seeing the textures on the strips, I decided to add a touch of gold.

Honestly, the golden highlights looked stunning against the black.

My excitement soared as I worked through this step, and the number of rings didn’t seem daunting anymore.

When I finished shading them just the way I wanted, the outcome was truly spectacular.

The combination of gold on black elevated the whole project, making all the effort feel completely worthwhile.

Step 8: Fixing the Hanging String

I found a decorative thread with golden hues and tied it to one end of the wreath base.

With a simple knot, it was all set to be hung up, just like in the picture I shared.

This final touch not only added charm but also made it easy to display my creation for everyone to see.

I hung the wreath on my living room wall and dived into adding the final touches.

For the Easter theme, I used decorations that matched perfectly with the holiday.

I placed makeover sponge balls that looked just like Easter eggs among the rings.

Then, I added some artificial bushes and flowers, finishing off with a decoration that truly stood out for Easter. The result was both stunning and fitting for the celebration.
