Supplies needed to make a Spring Wreath

Supplies needed to make a Spring wreath diy.

How to Make Easter Egg Spring Wreath

  1. Begin by filling the concave side of the wire wreath with large clumps of kelly green excelsior. Wrap the wreath with green floral wire, securing the grass in position. Continue until you’ve wrapped all of the wreath. Don’t worry if it looks like the grass isn’t as secure on the wreath; you’ll be adding tons of hot glue with eggs. Can’t find wood grass? You can also use moss as well.
  2. Glue a speckled egg to the wreath’s back and hold it in place until secure. I wanted to ensure that I hid the green wire, so I first added eggs to those areas.
  3. Fill the wreath with eggs until you’re satisfied with the look. I’m going to forewarn you that this step takes a long time, but it’s well worth it for those nice full effects and coverage. You may either work on this wreath one section at a time over the next few weeks or watch a movie and finish it in one shot.
  4. If you’re not sure if you’ve used enough eggs, hold the wreath against a wall to double-check for any bald spots. If necessary, add a few more eggs!
  5. Make a bow from a 30″ length of ribbon, if necessary. This lovely pink ribbon is from Dollar Tree!
  6. Use the hot glue gun one more time to secure the ribbon in place. Take extra care with this step since the hot glue is scorching and travels quickly through the thin ribbon material!

Continue until you've wrapped all of the wreath. Don't worry if it looks like the grass isn't as secure on the wreath; you'll be adding tons of hot glue with eggs. Can't find wood grass?

Customizing Your Spring Wreath

As soon as the ribbon glue has hardened completely, you can hang your adorable DIY Easter egg wreath! I highly recommend hanging it indoors or on a covered porch since the grass may not hold up to the test of nature. Of course, there are tons of ways to customize this spring wreath to make it your own.

  • You could always add some florals or greenery to make it look more natural.
  • Or use a grapevine wreath as the base and a burlap bow for a more rustic look.
  • Add some cute details for a felt flower wreath
  • Cut paper tulips or daisies to add
  • and so many more ideas based on your inspiration!

What is an SVG File?

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. It’s a file format that allows you to create vector-based images that can be scaled up or down without losing any quality. SVG files are ideal for use in print and web design. You can use SVG files for a variety of purposes, including:

– Creating logos

How to Use an SVG File?

SVG files are used in various ways, but the majority of my readers use them with a digital cutting machine. There are a few on the market, but my absolute favorite is the Cricut Maker 3. With this machine, you can upload an SVG file, and it will cut it out for you! You can use any color of vinyl, paper, or fabric to make truly unique projects.

Suppose you don’t have a cutting machine, no worries! You can still use some of these files to create fun Easter crafts with just a printer, a sharp craft knife, and some patience. I did all of my projects that way for years!

So go ahead and download these free SVG files now and get creative! We can’t wait to see what you make! Happy crafting!

– Make easter cards or gift tags with the bunny design

Earth Day Free Printable Badges for Kids to Color! https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/earth-day-free-printable-badges-for-kids-to-color/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/earth-day-free-printable-badges-for-kids-to-color/#respond Thu, 10 Mar 2022 14:12:23 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=19398

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. It was first observed in 1970, and since then, it has become an annual event for many people worldwide to celebrate our planet and its environment. In addition, Earth Day is an excellent opportunity for children to learn about the environment as they color these free printable badges with their classmates.

If you’re looking for some fun and free Earth Day printables, I’ve got 10 of my favorite ones for you. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to check them all out!

Hand holding marker on blue background while coloring in Earth Day free printable badges.

What and When Is Earth Day?

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. The day marks the anniversary of the first Earth Day in 1970, organized by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring. Since that time, people from all over the world have come together to celebrate nature and protect it from pollution and other threats to its existence. Today, Earth Day is a global festival that encourages everyone to take action for the environment and become an advocate for the planet’s health and well-being.

Earth Day also has a special place in the hearts of many Americans, who are proud to be part of a country that values its natural resources. On this day, people across the country take time to get outside and enjoy nature’s beauty, including in many schools.

That’s why I’m so excited about sharing these free Earth Day worksheets! We must instill a love of Earth Day and environmentalism while kids are young.

What do we do on Earth Day?

Earth Day has become a day to celebrate our planet and all it provides us. Activities such as planting trees, cleaning up beaches, and recycling are common on Earth Day.

Kids also spend the day learning how to be stewards of the earth, recycling techniques, and making Earth Day activities crafts. Who says they can’t also have a fun Earth Day?!

Supplies needed for Earth Day Badges

As far as necessary supplies go, this project is super easy and only requires a few essential items usually found in homes or classrooms:

  • Printer (the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 is, hands down, my favorite!)
  • Your choice of coloring tools (markers, colored pencils, crayons, etc)
  • Free Earth Day Badges Printable (see below)

Tried & True Library members can use their password and download the free file immediately. Not a member yet? Just enter your info below, and we’ll email you the password!

Free Earth Day Printable

In honor of Earth Day, I have created a free printable badge that can be colored in by your kids or students. This activity is excellent for elementary and middle school classrooms but can also be enjoyed by younger kids with help from an adult.

To make these Earth Day Free Printable Badges, you’re going to need either markers, coloring pencils, or even crayons. Once the badge has been colored in, have the child (or assisting adult) carefully cut it out. You can either use a safety pin or strong tape to apply the badge to kids’ clothing.

History of St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17th, but where does this tradition originate? Well, it all started with St. Patrick himself! He was born Maewyn Succat in Roman Britain around 385 A.D. When he was 16 years old, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. For two years, he worked as a shepherd. Then, he escaped back to Britain and studied Christianity under the direction of St. Germain at Auxerre in France for several years. He became ordained as a priest around 415 A.

A few years after he returned to France, Patrick became an abbot at the monastery in Lérins. After many years of missionary activity around Gaul, Patrick was summoned by the Pope to appear in Rome. The traditional date for this summons is 460 A.D., but some modern scholars argue that it could have been closer to 499 or The authorities imprisoned him in Rome for a while. Still, it is believed that he made a miraculous escape and fled north to Burgundy. From there, many stories circulated of his travels back to Ireland, where he baptized and converted many.

Now that you’re educated on St. Patrick’s storied life let’s get into that green spirit with some excellent St. Patrick’s Day free svg files!

Why I love my Cricut!

You can find all the links to these files below, but I’ll give you my reasons for loving Cricut so much. My Cricut is seriously my favorite craft toy! It’s so stinking fun and makes crafting way more enjoyable. You can create so many different types of projects with it, but it’s mainly used to cut out paper and vinyl, make shapes and stencils, and all kinds of stuff like that.

Two Cricut machines side by side on a craft table.

With my Cricut, I can create custom vinyl stickers for my laptop or car decor. I also use it to make designs on t-shirts (I finally know how to make those cool stitched-looking designs on the front of shirts!). I can make stencils for painting projects and designs on wood signs. And probably my favorite part, I use it to cut out paper and vinyl shapes like cute shamrocks.

Cricut is the easiest way to create custom crafts! So if you don’t have a Cricut machine yet, why are you waiting??

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/rainbow-bunny-peeps-wreath/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/rainbow-bunny-peeps-wreath/#comments Tue, 16 Mar 2021 14:55:00 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=8988 I’ve been making Peeps® Wreaths for 6 years now and honestly, this is one has got to be one of my favorites! I usually use the classic chick shape but couldn’t find them in all the colors so I instead switched to bunnies. Aren’t they cute? 

Make this super fun and colorful Rainbow Bunny PeepsRainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath to celebrate Spring! Tons of ways to customize it to fit your decor!

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience and to assist in the maintenance of this site.

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath

Materials:

Step One. Ok, peeps, this isn’t rocket science but there are a few hints that will make this project so much easier and enjoyable. First one: Completely remove the wrappers and let the Peeps® dry out for a couple days before making the wreath. They’ll be much easier to work with if they’re not so sticky!

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath - Supplies

Step Two. Next hint? Use two toothpicks per bunny to secure in place. This will prevent them from spinning on a single point and shifting on the wreath.

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath - Attach

Step Three. Continue placing the bunnies in a circle around the front and outer edge of wreath. Once completed, fill in the center ring with vertically placed bunnies.

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath - Inner Ring

Step Four. Tie a large bow out of the burlap ribbon and insert a floral pin in the back. Secure in place at the top of the wreath.

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath - Ribbon

And that’s it, your super “sweet” wreath is good to go!

In the past, a few people have mentioned that heat or humidity have caused some of the Peeps® to fall off. If this is a problem, just dab a bit of glue to where the toothpick meets the sugary surface.

Another issue that has been brought up in the past is the ant factor. I would highly suggest a couple coats of clear spray varnish if you know ants are a problem where you live.

Supplies

Supplies needed to make Easter Bunny Decoupage Coaster

Instructions

Apply base layer of paint to all coasters. I painted coral and white on the bunny coasters and just white on the flower ones. Remember that the napkins are extremely thin and will show whatever color they have underneath them.

Painting the background of a hexigon wood coaster.

Once paint has dried completely, apply first coat of Mod Podge. Don’t apply this layer too thick or you’ll get some bubbles and folding. Separate the layers of the napkins to a single printed sheet.

Layering a bunny napkin over the coaster.

Apply Mod Podge to the sides and press tissue down. I cut the corners so that it would lay flat.

Once the first layer is dry, apply another coat of Mod Podge over the entire coaster. Allow to dry completely before using!

Mini Bunny Easter Baskets https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/mini-bunny-easter-baskets/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/mini-bunny-easter-baskets/#respond Wed, 11 Mar 2020 16:01:00 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=16912 If you’re planning an Easter get-together, I’ve got the perfect little craft tutorial for you. These Mini Bunny Easter Baskets can be filled with candy or little gifts for the perfect favor!

Pink and purple Mini Bunny Easter Baskets

Is there anything quite so adorable than these Mini Bunny Easter Baskets? (Answer: No!) They’re easy to make with just a few felt sheets and a tiny bit of vinyl.

Don’t have a Cricut cutting machine? No worries, I have options for you below!

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Supplies Needed

Supplies needed to make this project.

Instructions for Mini Easter Baskets

Begin by using the free PDF file to cut out the basket shapes. You can either cut with your Cricut or a sharp pair of scissors. If you’re using a digital cutting machine, open the SVG file in your program and cut the face/ears/tail vinyl pieces.

If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can always use fabric paint to hand-draw the face details as well. Gluing a pompom on the back for the tail would look adorable!

Hand holding cut felt before assembling Mini Easter Baskets.

Let’s assemble the basket now! Place the back piece edge onto the side piece edge and sew from the top down. Make sure to stop about 1/4″ from the bottom! Continue sewing all the sides together until Mini Easter Basket is formed.

Sewing the felt pieces together.

Position the bottom square in place and sew around the edge to finish your basket. Depending on your sewing skills level, you may need to trim away excess felt from the bottom.

Adding the bottom felt piece to the mini Easter basket.

Filler Suggestions

These adorable Mini Bunny Easter Baskets can be fill with a tiny bit of artificial grass and mini egg candies. Or what about just a single decorated egg for an easy place setting?

I’m planning on adding mini toys and pencils for my kids. They’re going to love it! Hope you enjoy making and using these for your Easter party!

“Chase Rainbows” St. Patrick’s Day Free SVG https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/chase-rainbows-st-patricks-day-free-svg/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/chase-rainbows-st-patricks-day-free-svg/#respond Sat, 29 Feb 2020 12:57:00 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=16785 Blank white panel with the words "Chase Rainbows" on it.

I love this “Chase Rainbows” St. Patrick’s Day Free SVG & Printable but, I have to admit, I’m a new convert to the joys of St. Patrick’s Day. Previously, most of my memories of the holiday involved pinching. Then I married my husband who has 50% Irish heritage. I love celebrating the holiday with my kids now!

St. Patrick’s Day printable label

Today is definitely your lucky day! Not only do I have a free svg file for you below but I also have a St. Patrick’s Day printable label as well. They’re super easy to print and give to your favorite leprechauns! I just printed the label below on Large Arched Labels from OnlineLabels.com.

Once they were printed, I just filled small treat bags with Airheads Xtremes Sourfuls and sealed with the labels. Such a quick and easy gift to give your kids, students, or co-workers!
