Sophisticated Easter Wreath

You already know know I love my wreaths, especially a beautiful spring wreath! I couldn't help but repost this gorgeous, sophisticated Easter wreath from HGTV.com!

Materials Needed:
12" grapevine wreath
light green Spanish moss
12 paper mache eggs
beige acrylic paint
dark brown acrylic paint
water-based glaze medium
1" artist brush
empty egg crate
toothbrush
hot glue and glue sticks
latex gloves
On a protected surface, apply two coats of beige acrylic paint to each egg with a one-inch artist brush. Tip: Acrylic paint dries in about 10 minutes; paint one side and allow to dry, then turn the egg over and paint the other side.
Speckle Eggs

Mix dark brown acrylic paint with water-based faux glaze in a 1:3 (paint:glaze) ratio. Don gloves; dip a clean toothbrush into glaze mixture, then run your thumb through the bristles to splatter glaze onto the painted eggs. Turn the egg to splatter all sides and place it in an egg carton to allow the glaze to dry. Tip: For a realistic look, splatters should vary in shape and size. To achieve this effect, vary the amount of pressure you place on the bristles.
Apply Moss to Wreath
Preheat hot glue gun. Apply hot glue to the wreath in small sections. Pull Spanish moss apart into loose handfuls. Immediately push moss into hot glue and hold it in place until glue cools. Repeat the process till front of wreath is covered.


 Finally, add eggs with hot glue.

    Howdy, I do believe your site could possibly be having internet browser compatibility issues.
    Whenever I take a look at your web site in Safari,
    it looks fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful blog!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be really something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang
    of it!

    Link exchange is nothing else but it is simply placing the other person's web site link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also do similar in favor of you.
