Easter Wreath

With Easter just around the corner I decided to give some little Easter themed crafts a go. I absolutely love the concepts of wreath, they are just so simple and pretty; so I decided to try and make one for Easter. I did a quick Google to see what ideas were out here and a lot of them just seemed way too far out of my abilities, because my crafty skills are rather limited. 

Things you'll need:

• Water balloons 
• Different colour threads 
• White glue 
• Newspaper 
• Baking paper
• A bowl 
• Super glue 
• Ribbon 

1. Cover whatever surface you are using with the newspaper, unless you think glue stains make a good edition. 

2. Blow up your water balloons, I find that about 20 makes a good size wreath. 
(This is probably the hardest part of this entire thing, as the little things do actually take some effort to blow up.)

3. Take your thread and cover it in the White glue (I find that it's easier to put the White glue in a bowl and pull the thread through it) then wrap the thread around the balloons. (Use your fingers to squeeze out the excess glue it will help the thread stick a little better.)

4. Leave the balloons to completely dry, I find sitting them on top of baking paper and turning them every couple of hours helps them dry better and prevents them sticking to the paper.

5. Once they are completely dry, here's the therapeutic part, pop the balloons and remove them completely so you're left with the thread eggs. (You don't have to do this part you can leave the balloons in to add to the colour if you prefer)

6. Turn a bowl upside down on a table and arrange the eggs around it go form your wreath

7. Where the eggs touch add a little dab of superglue to attach them together. 

8. Leave the glue to completely dry before you do anything else, don't move them. 

9. When completely dry and attach, this should only take a few minutes, then remove the bowl and you should be left with your egg wreath. 

10. Attach the ribbon to one end of the wreath and use this to hang it up. 

And there you go, you should now have your cute simple Easter wreath. I know also realise that it would have been more useful if I'd have taken more pictures to show you guys, but hopefully you get the gist of how to make it and have fun doing it.
