I realize that not all Dollar Stores or Dollar Tree stores have the same merchandise but, you can find similar supplies. You may even find a grapevine wreath.  Also, you may find a similar “Hippity Hoppity Easter’s on its way” sign or a cute bunny or chic.

First, set up supplies: ribbons, flowers, sign, pipe cleaners, scissors, eggs, hot glue gun and grapevine wreath NOTE: I added extra 4 more eggs that are not pictured here.

Next, wrap blue burlap ribbon around wreath. Fasten end of ribbon with hot glue.

Faux purple flowers

Then, cut faux purple flowers’ stems, leaving 3-4 inches on the ends.

Next, tie ends of faux purple flowers tightly with a pipe cleaner

Then, insert pipe cleaner through grapevine and twist tightly to fasten

Next, fasten purple flowers tightly to grapevine wreath

At upper end of flowers (opposite end of stems) fasten flowers to the wreath with a second pipe cleaner

Next, cut loop of foam eggs

Then, tie eggs to grape vines in clusters of 3 eggs and place a few inches apart in between gaps of burlap ribbon.

Untie loop of Easter sign. Weave the string through 2-3 grapevine pieces and fasten tightly.

Sign tied tightly to grapevine wreath

Add hot glue to burlap ribbon at the bottom of the wreath where the sign will lie on top.

Next, press sign firmly for 20 seconds on top of glue so sign can adhere to ribbon.

Next, make Easter bow or use a large pastel-colored gift bow. See You Tube video at beginning of this post

Finally, using pipe cleaner, tie Easter bow to wreath tightly over top of the faux purple flower steams.
