$3 Bargain Easter Wreath!

 I have been enjoying the month of love so much, that I hate to take down Valentines decor ... but with Easter next month, its time!! 

 

This sweet wreath took a whole package of coffee filters to make.  I stacked three together, then pinched them into flowers and used a hot glue gun to attach them to a vine type wreath from the dollar store.

Then I chose these antique Easter postcards from the huge selection available on Graphics Fairy.  I tried to choose designs that would allow me to add the glue and glitter letters, swirling them around the designs, as you see.  Next I cut them out, and glued them onto old manila tags, adding rickrack and trimming the bottoms.  I used old silver garland to suspend the tags, figuring it would bring out the silver glitter of the letter.  I am pretty happy with this simple wreath ...  and what a bargain.  $1 for coffee filters, and $1 for the wreath base, the few tags, hot glue, glitter, and colored ink together were less than a dollar, I am sure, for a total of $3!!

 

 Welcome Spring and Easter, with all its chicks, birds and bunnies ... Now if I could just have something other than snowy forecasts, I would be perfectly content.
