handmade cardboard and paper wreath of leaves with floral, rabbit shaped, and pompom decorations. In the centre is a printed circle saying Hoppy Easter. It hangs from a pink ribbon
I made an Easter wreath this year.

The base is scrap cardboard cut into a circle. The leaves are from scrap paper destined for reycling which I painted with basic watercolours and used a felt pen to add detail. the larger pompoms I made from bits of wool. The eggs are hand drawn and coloured.
The larger rabbits were from a felting needle kit. It was supposed to make one rabbit but I made two smaller ones instead. This isn't my first project but was the first made without a polystyrene base.
The smaller rabbit (flat) near bottom was made from leftover felting materials from other projects. My older nephew insisted it looks like a bird, with the tail being the bird's eye!
The flowers and tiny pompoms were leftovers from my younger nephew's Easter bonnet he made for school (older children make egg decorations).
The ribbon was recycled material, having been around a small celebration cake originally.
The Hoppy Easter was printed on home computer and attached with a bit of thread from my box of cross stitch materials.
The leaves and felted decorations were glued on with a glue gun. Small double sided foam pads were used for the flowers and pompoms.

My younger nephew made me this from leftovers from his Easter bonnet, a nest with a tiny chick glued in, plus what is not in fact an egg or flower but, he informed me, a worm, because chicks eat worms :)
a brown fibre nest with a yellow fibre chick that has a tiny pale pink pompom in front of it

The bonnet in question
child' easter bonnet, straw coloured polyester woven fibres with grey rabbit ears headband and floral decorations, with a yellow ribbon and on top pompoms in various colours and a fibre nest with chick in it

So much cuteness! I love the wreath! Have never gotten the hang of needle felting. Those rabbits look good! (I can see the bird now that it's been pointed out. LOL)

Those are cute!

Learning to needle felt is one of my goals this year.

I love your wreath. I have never tried needle felting but it always sounded like fun.
