Ingredients
  

  • Grapevine wreath or make your own mulberry vine
  • Burning bush twigs
  • Gardening shears
  • Floral wire
  • Plastic speckled Easter eggs
  • Hot glue gun with clear glue sticks

Instructions
 

  • In the Fall or Winter seasons, cut bunches of overgrown burning bush branches to use for making a twig wreath. Cut enough to fully cover a grapevine wreath whatever size you use.
  • Holding a few bunches in your hand, place it against the wreath form and secure it in place with floral wire.
  • Continue all the way around the wreath, layering more twigs.
  • After the wreath is covered, hang it on a door or wall and give it a trim. It will likely be uneven and lopsided so cut off any long parts.
  • Preheat the glue gun and apply a dab of glue to the back side of the plastic egg. Press it against the twig wreath and hold it until the glue dries.
