Easter Craft: Create a Spiked Ribbon Easter Wreath

Introduction

With Easter just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to add some festive decorations to your home. If you’re looking for a fun and creative Easter craft, we have just the thing for you – a beautiful spiked ribbon Easter wreath. This DIY project is not only easy to make but also budget-friendly, as most of the materials can be found at Dollar Tree. Get ready to impress your guests with this adorable wreath featuring a cute “Every Bunny Welcome” sign and a variety of ribbons and garland. Let’s dive into the steps and create a delightful Easter wreath that will brighten up your home and spread the holiday cheer!

 

Materials You’ll Need

• “Every Bunny Welcome” Easter-themed sign (from Dollar Tree) or a similar sign
• Assorted ribbons of various textures and widths (most from Dollar Tree)
• Easter-themed garland (from Dollar Tree or any suitable garland)
• Square wreath form (found at Dollar Tree)
• White or light-colored full-sized pipe cleaners, cut in half
• Scissors

Step 1: Cutting and Preparing the Ribbons

Before we begin crafting the spiky bows, we’ll need to cut and prepare the ribbons. You’ll need a total of seven different ribbons, with varying widths and textures. Most of the ribbons can be sourced from Dollar Tree, but feel free to add a few unique ones from other stores like Michael’s if you desire. Cut the ribbons into 12-inch pieces and add a v-cut to the ends to create a decorative finish.

Step 2: Crafting the Spiky Bows

Now, let’s create the spiky bows that will adorn our wreath. Start with the 4-inch wide ribbon as the base of the bow. Then, layer two 3-inch ribbons in an “x” shape over the 4-inch ribbon as seen above. Place the last 3-inch ribbon and the 1.5-inch ribbon parallel to the 4-inch ribbon. Gather all the ribbons in the center and use a pre-cut pipe cleaner to secure them together. Repeat this process to create a total of nine spiky bows.

 

Step 3: Preparing the Wreath Form and Attaching the Sign

Before adding the spiky bows, we’ll first attach the adorable “Every Bunny Welcome” sign to the wreath form. Position the sign as you like on the wreath form and use pipe cleaners to secure it in place. You can see how I chose to position it below. Alternatively, you can use zip-ties or any other suitable attachment material you have available.

Step 4: Assembling the Spiky Bows on the Wreath

Now that the sign is attached to the wreath form, let’s start adding the spiky bows. Begin by attaching one of the bows at the top point of the wreath. Continue by attaching bows to the other two corners that are visible and then fill in the rest of the wreath with the remaining bows. Remember to fluff the bows to make the most of the available space.

Step 5: Embellishing the Wreath with Easter Garland

To add some extra charm to the wreath, we’ll use the Easter-themed garland. Remove the garland pieces from the string they came attached to. Cut the garland into smaller pieces and create bows with 1/2-inch wide ribbons to garnish each garland piece. Add a touch of cohesion by placing a small cotton ball or white pompom in the center of each bow. Use the leftover string from the garland to tie the garland pieces onto the wreath, covering any remaining gaps.
