Frequently asked questions about Easter Wreaths.
An Easter wreath is a wreath that has been inspired by the Easter holiday and spring. An Easter wreath can be displayed on a door, wall, or as a decoration elsewhere.

How to make this Easy Easter Carrot Wreath DIY.
Step One: prepare.
Start by preparing your workspace- it is a good idea to use newspaper or a similar item to work on top of as the glue may drip.
Warm up your glue gun and prepare the glue sticks.
Lastly, remove the carrots from the packaging and also any debris or tags that may be on the carrots, rope, and wreath form.
Step Two: glue the carrots on to the form.
- Start by turning the wreath form on the backside. When attaching the carrots to the form it is best to do so on the flat side of the form where these is more space for the glue.
- Add a line of glue on the backside of the first carrot where it will meet the wire form.
- Firmly press the carrot into place on the form.
- Working clockwise, repeat the process until the entire form is covered with the carrots.
Expert Tip 👉 While working your way around the form glueing on the carrots, make sure the the carrots are inline with on another in the circle. Also, the carrots should butt-up to one another and there should be no space between them as a result.
Step Three: finish making the wreath.
To add the rope ears like on my wreath, flip the wreath over so that the carrots are facing down and glue the rope in place to form the ears. You can use a shoelace or twine to make a small loop that can attach to the wire frame to hold the wreath on a hook.
