I was doing a search on a spring or easter door wreaths, and came across two I loved! Something Wonderful, had a brilliant idea for putting paper mache over her eggs to give them texture and a different color. Debbie Doodlings, had a darling idea of putting easter grass in between the eggs as a filler. I had just the plan...
I began by making a flower and water paste, and then used it to glue my paper to the eggs.
I painted my eggs the color I wanted them. If you don't have a pastel paints don't forget you can add white to any color to make it lighter. After I painted them, I speckled my eggs to give them extra texture and color.
I made a frame from cardboard like Debbie did. I hot glued my eggs down and added a little grass and a bow, and it was all ready to hang on the door!
The great part is, not only does it look beautiful and very full, but I only spent $4 at the dollar store!
I hope you find this inspirational!

A great idea for an Easter wreath..simple,colourful and bright. A lvoely welcoming to your front door! yvette@twistedvines
Love this also! I think I may try it as well! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for the great comments!! So sorry I didn't write earlier. I speckled them by just painting the eggs with the eggs that were finished underneath. Kind of hard to explain. But... I know you can speckle by using a toothbrush. Just dip toothbrush in paint, pretty hard rub your finger across the tooth brush. The first few times you do it make sure it is on something other than your eggs because they will be very big and lumpy speckles at first.
