It won't be long 'til Easter is here, so for the next few weeks Pickett's Pearls will be all about Spring/Easter decor and menu ideas.
If you have been following Pickett's Pearls for a while, then you know that I'm obsessed with making wreaths. I could buy them 'cause they are everywhere, but making them is much more fun not to mention a lot less expensive. Below are some spring wreath ideas. Here's what you do: first go to Michaels or some other craft store and get a grapevine wreath, lots of spring artificial flowers (I think the ones with tiny buds are the best), a glue gun with loads of glue sticks, and garden clippers (or very sharp scissors). Then you go about laying the flowers on the wreath so you can come up with your design. Finally you cut the flowers, stick them through the vines and glue the flowers down with a hot glue gun. Be careful. (Don't be like me and burn your fingers every time.)
My favorite wreaths are the hairy ones. I got the wreath below at CVS drug store for $14. It had about half of the flowers already. I just added to it! (Much of creativity is taking something and improving on it.) About 2 weeks before Easter I will add eggs, which of course, I got at Michael's. If I don't take the eggs off just after Easter, please yell at me.
