Up-Cycled Easter Wreath

This is what my Easter wreath from the past few years has looked like: I knew as soon as I pulled it out of storage, that I was going to have to re-make the entire wreath. It was faded and falling apart.
I pulled all of the flowers, eggs, and ribbon off of the grapevine wreath. Thankfully, I hadn't hot glued much, but used wire to wrap everything in place.

Once everything was removed, I gathered items from my unused Easter decorations and other things I had around.
I used wire to wrap the pink netting in place. This was left over from the girls Christmas tree, and thankfully, I had just enough.
Then, I hot glued these glittered eggs that I had. When grouping things together, try to place them in odd numbers, such as groups of 3 for a more visually pleasing effect.

After, I glued on the eggs, I knew that the wreath needed something more, but I wasn't exactly sure if a bow would work, because I didn't have enough tulle, and I didn't have enough ribbon. It just didn't look finished.

So, I found a bucket in my Easter decorations and tied it on with wire. I added a little bit of Easter grass on the inside, and placed 3 eggs inside the bucket.
Here's the finished wreath!

Cost $0.00
