A Wreath for Easter

A little late, I know!

I wanted an Easter wreath, but didn't want to spend any money....so here's what I came up with!

Anyhow, first rustle up your trusty helper cat....

And then get your materials:

• For this el-cheapo wreath, I used the brown packing paper that came out of a box = Free!
• A wreath from the dollar store = $1.00
• Some old plastic Easter eggs from the depths of the closet = free
• Three pieces of sheet music = a few cents worth                                                 

(I had a whole bunch that I'd purchased from Knick of Time: a lovely Etsy shop and a lovely blog too!)

• ModPodge
• Glue gun
• Stapler

First, I stapled some of the brown paper around the  wreath as a base for the rest of the decorations:

                                                                           Like so--

                      Then I took another long piece of brown paper and scrunched it up, sorta like this:

                     Fastening down all the scrunched up bits with the stapler and the hot glue gun:

Straightening and fluffing as I went along:

To make the wreath!

Tearing up the sheet music into small strips and using some ModPodge, I covered

ye olde plastic Easter eggs:

And added the "musical" eggs, twine and a burlap bow to make
