Easter Project # 2

I usually like to greet my guests with an inviting entry to our home, including the yard.  At the moment, we don't have a yard!!  That's to be our summer project.  But the least I can do is having an inviting front door decorated for the season.  With that in mind, it's time for Easter project  2.

Again, pretty, but this time super cheap and super easy.
Here's what you'll need:
The eggs are from the dollar store - they're just those plastic eggs that you can take apart to put stuff in the middle.  I bought 5 bags of 8.  I could have used some smaller eggs for filler too, but I didn't think of that ahead of time.  Now you could go to the craft store and buy a foam wreath but this is a much cheaper option.  Go to your hardware store and buy this foam piping.  I believe it was 99 cents!!!
Wrap the foam piping into a circle and duct tape it together.  Ta-da!!!  Foam wreath ring!!  Now just glue your eggs on.  It's that easy.  Place them in the same direction or all willy nilly.  How you do it is up to you.  I placed mine willy nilly.  I even pulled some eggs apart and used halfs to fill in spaces and around the edges.  As I said earlier, could have used some smaller eggs to fill spaces but since I didn't have any, I used some easter grass (you know that crinkle paper strip stuff you use to fill baskets) and glued it in the spaces.  I kind of like how that worked.  Gave it some texture and dimension.  Now all you have to do is add an Easter bow and ribbon to hang it and you are done.  Easy peasy.
