How to Make a Succulent Moss Wreath – Easter Decoration Idea https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/how-to-make-a-succulent-moss-wreath-easter-decoration-idea/ Mon, 22 Mar 2021 20:25:04 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=1719 This week we have a designer Easter decoration idea, something that looks like it was bought from HomeSense or Pottery Barn but an easy DIY!

We admit it, there are a lot of small steps to this craft but we can assure you that they’re easy ones.  The most tedious part is wrapping the moss ribbon around the foam wreath, it can be tough to get the moss in the right place while keeping it even and flat. We found it easiest to go slowly, laying the moss along the foam and securing it with the green thread little bits at a time, using the glue gun is certainly useful.  Once you have placed and secured the moss, all thats needed is to arrange flowers, succulents and Easter decorations.   What you need to make a DIY Moss Wreath: Foam wreath Moss ribbon Thin green thread Artificial succulents Artificial flowers Easter decorations (bunny faces, eggs or chicks) Ribbon Hot glue gun Floral foam Floral wire How to Make a Succulent Moss Wreath – Easter Decoration Idea Firstly, wrap the foam wreath with moss ribbon, one layer at a time. Use green thread and a glue gun to secure the moss in place.   Secondly, add the ribbon by wrapping it around the top of the wreath. Wrap it about two to three times to create a thick, secure ribbon accent.  Cut it when you are happy and glue gun the end the back of the wreath.   Next, cut a piece of the floral wire to secure the floral foam to the wreath, using the glue gun to help secure it. Place it slightly off centre. Now, begin to add the flowers and succulents to the wreath by using the glue gun.  Some flowers and succulents will have wire attached, use this to stick them into the foam and use the glue to secure them.

You really can’t go wrong with these cute Easter critters. Since our carrot was only five weeks old and siblings three and five years, the canvas’s didn’t need to be very big. Certainly use your judgement when selecting the canvas size, you could also have all three characters on one canvas. Cute Easter Handprint and Footprint Craft Ideas What you’ll need: For the Bunny: a 4″x 4″ canvas yellow, light pink, dark pink and black paint child safe white paint *optional – pink glitter and glue* For the Chick: a 4″x 4″ canvas light green, orange, white and black paint child safe yellow paint *optional – orange glitter and glue* For the carrot: a 4″x 4″ canvas light blue, dark orange, green paint child safe orange paint *optional – green and orange glitter and glue* Step 1 – The base coat.   Firstly, using the indicated colours, apply a base coat to your canvas.  You may need to apply two coats, if so allow the paint to dry completely between each coat and once again when thoroughly painted. Step 2 – The hand/foot/finger print.  Above all, be sure to have plenty of wipes or paper towel handy for clean-up!!  The bunny requires a painted heal and two (or one) painted finger.  The heel should be painted in white paint and then pressed onto the canvas, this will create the bunny’s head/upper body.  Allow this to dry before adding the finger print ears.  Painting one finger is a little easier to maneuver then two.  To create the chick, apply a generous amount of paint to the hand and press onto the canvas, set aside to dry.  The carrot is created by applying a generous amount of paint to the foot and pressing it onto the canvas.
