Easter Wreaths That’ll Make Your Neighbors Stop and Stare (Plus How to Make Them)

Why Your Front Door Needs an Easter Wreath (Like, Yesterday)

Your front door is the first thing people see. It’s your home’s handshake. And right now, if you don’t have an Easter wreath hanging there, you’re missing out on the easiest way to add instant curb appeal.

Think about it. Easter falls right when winter finally releases its death grip on your garden. Everything’s brown and muddy and sad. A cheerful Easter wreath punches through that gloom like a beacon of hope. Plus, they’re not just for your front door anymore.

Every Style of Easter Wreath You Could Possibly Want

Traditional Easter wreaths hit you with all the classic elements you remember from childhood. I’m talking about:

  • Colorful plastic or styrofoam eggs in pastels
  • Adorable stuffed Easter bunnies nestled in greenery
  • Pastel ribbons in pink, yellow, lavender, and mint
  • Delicate satin rosebuds
  • Beautiful silk flowers that look surprisingly real

My neighbor went full traditional last year. She loaded up a grapevine wreath base with every Easter element known to mankind. It was glorious chaos. Kids stopped on the sidewalk to stare at it.

The Rustic Farmhouse Easter Wreath

Now, if you’re more of a “shiplap and mason jars” person, rustic farmhouse Easter wreaths are your jam. These beauties feature:

  • Natural grapevine as the base
  • Reclaimed wood crosses (or new wood painted to look old, no judgment)
  • Burlap ribbons in earthy tones
  • Silk lilies of the valley
  • Neutral color palettes with pops of soft white

I made one of these last spring using burlap ribbon and some wood scraps from my garage. Cost me maybe twelve dollars. Looked like I paid someone a hundred bucks to make it. The secret? Less is more with farmhouse style.

Bright and Cheerful Easter Wreaths

Some people whisper when they decorate. Other people shout. If you’re a shouter, bright and cheerful Easter wreaths are calling your name. We’re talking:

  • Hot pink, electric yellow, and vibrant purple
  • Oversized bows
  • Glittered eggs that catch the sunlight
  • Crepe paper flowers in eye-popping colors
  • Metallic accents

My sister-in-law does this style. Her wreath is visible from space. I mean that as a compliment.

19+ DIY Easter Wreath Ideas (That Won’t End in Tears)

Let me walk you through some actual projects I’ve tried, complete with what worked and what absolutely did not.

The Moss-Covered Bunny Wreath

This one looks impressive but it’s stupidly simple. You need:

  • A foam wreath form
  • Sheet moss
  • Hot glue gun
  • A bunny silhouette (cut from cardboard or buy a form)

Cover everything in moss. Seriously, that’s it. The texture does all the work. I added a simple gingham bow and called it done. Pro tip: Use a low-temp glue gun or you’ll burn your fingers. Ask me how I know.

Glittered Egg Easter Wreaths

Here’s where things get fun. Grab some plastic or styrofoam eggs. Cover them in mod podge. Roll them in glitter. Attach them to a wire wreath frame with hot glue or floral wire.

Warning: Glitter will end up everywhere. Your hair. Your coffee. Your dog. Make peace with this before you start. I did mine in ombré shades of pink to purple. Took maybe an hour while binge-watching a cooking show.

Real Egg Wreaths (Yes, Really)

This sounds insane but stick with me. You can blow out real eggs, dye them, and use them on a wreath. The effect is stunning. Delicate. Unique. Very “I saw this in a boutique for $200.”

The process:

  1. Poke holes in both ends of the egg
  2. Blow out the contents (save for scrambled eggs)
  3. Rinse and dry thoroughly
  4. Dye using regular egg dye
  5. Attach carefully to your wreath base

Reality check: Real eggs are fragile. If you have kids who slam the front door, maybe skip this one.

Dollar Tree Easter Wreaths

Listen. I love a good bargain. Dollar Tree has become my Easter wreath headquarters. For under fifteen dollars, you can make something that looks like you shopped at a fancy boutique.

Grab:

  • A basic wreath form
  • Artificial flowers
  • Ribbon
  • Easter picks (bunnies, eggs, carrots)
  • Maybe some decorative mesh

Layer everything until it looks full and expensive. The trick is not being shy about it. Cram those flowers in there. My Dollar Tree wreath from two years ago is still going strong.

Crepe Paper Flower Wreaths

If you’ve never worked with crepe paper for flowers, you’re missing out. The texture is incredible. The colors are rich. And it’s cheap.

I made giant peonies from crepe paper following a YouTube tutorial. Attached them to a simple wire frame. Added some ribbon. Done
