Upcycled Easter Wreath

A wreath is a timeless decoration that can be used to adorn your front door, mantel, or even your Easter dinner table. 

To create your upcycled Easter wreath, you'll need:

• Hot glue gun
• Twine
• Fabric scraps in Easter colors (pastels, florals, etc.)
• Ribbon or additional embellishments (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut a circle out of the cardboard box to create the base for your wreath. You can use a plate or a round object as a guide to ensure your wreath is a uniform size.
2. Cut the fabric scraps into strips that are roughly 2 inches wide and 8-10 inches long.
3. Tie the fabric strips onto the twine, alternating colors and patterns as you go. Continue tying the fabric strips until the twine is completely covered.
4. Hot glue the twine onto the cardboard wreath base, making sure to cover the entire base with the fabric-covered twine.
5. Add additional embellishments like ribbon or Easter-themed decorations if desired.
6. And there you have it - a beautiful and eco-friendly Easter wreath that's sure to impress your guests.

Easter Bunting

Bunting is a fun and festive decoration that can be used to brighten up any space. 

To create your upcycled Easter bunting, you'll need:

• Old fabric scraps in Easter colors
• Scissors
• Twine
• Hot glue gun
• Optional: Easter-themed stencils or paint to add designs to the fabric

These garlands can also be made from fabric (from old t-shirts for example)… Provided you know how to sew!

Instructions:

1. Cut the fabric scraps into triangles that are roughly 6-8 inches wide at the top and 8-10 inches long.
2. Fold the top of the fabric triangle over the twine and hot glue it in place. Repeat this step for all of your fabric triangles, leaving a few inches of space in between each one.
3. If desired, use Easter-themed stencils or paint to add designs or patterns to your fabric triangles.
4. Hang your upcycled Easter bunting in your home or outside to add some festive flair to your space.
