Make an Easter Wreath in 10 Minutes

March 1, 2016 by Valerie Ott Leave a Comment

 

boxwood wreath for easter

Hey there, friends!  I wanted to share my super-simple Easter wreath I made using the same chalkboard  I hung on the front door last month.  I love this thing!  It’s so versatile.  Adding stain to the frame really helped give it that rustic look I was going for, too.  Since I really like the look of boxwood on a chalkboard surface–and I already have a small boxwood wreath from West Elm–I was in business!

All I had to do was loop some burlap ribbon through the wreath, then I brought the ends together and folded them over to make it a little thicker.

Then I just stapled this flap to the back of my chalkboard frame.

I freehanded “He Lives” on the inside of the wreath.  Although I love decorating with chicks and bunnies for Easter, too, I’m trying to keep the real meaning of the holiday in mind when I make decor this year.  (Here’s a quick note on using freeze-dried boxwood: don’t keep it in direct sunlight.  Since our front door is most often in the shade, I can keep it there, but if your door heats up in the sun, this may be a project you’d just want to put on your mantel or something.  You’re supposed to spritz this kind of wreath with water every once in awhile.  I confess that I never have and it’s holding up beautifully without any care, even after more than a year.)
