It's time for another dollar store craft! I found some cheap plastic eggs and wanted to make a wreath but I wasn't too fond if the bright colors, so I decided to paint them. Here's how to make your own speckled egg wreath...
What you'll need:
- plastic eggs
- straw or styrofoam wreath
- spray paint
- hot glue
Open your eggs and spray paint both sides.
To add the speckled look, dip a toothbrush in brown paint and flick the paint onto the eggs.
Hot glue the eggs to the wreath.
Hang and enjoy!
This is such a neat idea + I just started following your blog and it's great + I can't wait to read more.

Deletewhoa, i love this! if easter was my thing, i would totally make an egg wreath. they remind me of cadbury robin's eggs (even though i'm not an easter celebrator, i do like to indulge in seasonal chocolates!)
