Door decorations are not just for Christmas. Welcome friends and family this Easter with a spring door wreath that is easy and quick to make. Use a ten inch wire wreath frame as your base and cover it with moss. I used dry Forest moss in lime green and bound it on with lime green reel wire.

Use eight duck or hen eggs and blow out the egg inside. Then spray paint the shells with bright spring colours and whilst still damp sprinkle sugar over the eggs to give a frosted effect.

When the paint is dry glue the eggs to the moss base and bind on OASIS^® Pepe cones in lime green between the eggs. Swirl raffia and thin green cane between the eggs to give a three dimensional look.  Line wood cones with polythene and insert a small amount of floral foam to hold the Primroses in place. Push the stem of the Primroses (or any spring flower) into the foam. Then glue the cones to the wreath with OASIS^® Floral Adhesive.  Fill in if necessary with half egg shells between the cones and frosted eggs. Finish by tying raffia around the top of the wreath to make a firm hanging loop.

Hang the wreath on your front door for an egg-xceedingly Eastery welcome.
