Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's Way!...& a GIVEAWAY!

While lurking err...browsing blogland, I found the cutest Easter wreath at Debbie Does Creations.
It had lovely colors, tulle, ribbon, and GLITTER! What's not to love? So after talking to Debbie, I decided to make my own. BUT - not only my own, but one for you guys!!! That's right, a giveaway!!! I'm going to take you through the steps to make one. Then we'll get down to the giveaway details.


I started with two styrofoam wreaths, one smaller than the other by about an inch and a half.I also had a pack of 6 styrofoam eggs that I later split in half, glitter (I just love glitter, don't you? So sparkly and shiny), tulle in 4 colors (blue, green, yellow, purple) and a pink plaid ribbon.



First I started by cutting all of the tulle into 12in lengths, then cut the ribbon in about 6-8in I believe.



Next I tied the lengths of tulle in a color pattern - blue, yellow, green, purple, pink ribbon.



I did all this while watching tv. Great activity for some downtime LOL!

Here is the completed large wreath;


Then I started on the smaller one;



That's my cream quilt and sheets as a background. I was too lazy to figure something else out!

I asked my husband to split the foam eggs, because they just wouldn't cooperate with me. Then I enlisted my special helper to glitter the eggs.


Bear had a BLAST! And hardly any glitter made it off the foil liner I put on the counter! So Mom had a blast too LOL!

Here are the finished eggs;



Then I used my glue gun to glue them on. Sorry, no pics of that. I was all alone. Bear abandoned me for Pokemon with his friends.

Here is the finished product;
