Chocolate Easter Eggs Wreath

[BeaG]

Here's a wreath I made, using 2 kilos of chocolate Easter eggs!





Edited to add: I glued the wrapped chocolate eggs with a hot glue gun on a straw wreath.

I hope you like it.

PS: we don't put our wreaths on the outside of a door.
Instead we hang them on the wall of for instance our living room, put them on a mantle piece or a cupboard or a bookshell, etc.
Or we ly them flat on a table, for instance as a centerpiece on a dinner table.
This particular one should not be hung/put on a sunny spot!
Or close to a chocolate addict..., lol.

Thats awesome - what a lovely idea

[gamemom42]

Very cute, and better hanging on the door than padding the hips (at least that would be true in my case)

[BeaG]

Thank you, SewEnthusiastic and Gamemom42!
Gamemom, so true! I am a diabetic, so I won't eat them myself anyway (but my partner loves chocolate).

How did you get them to stay on? Wouldn't hot glue melt the chocolate. It looks awesome.

[JLMS]

Colorful, shiny, CHOCOLATE. What's not to like!

[BeaG]

Pinky Yarn, I glued them on a straw wreath with a hot glue gun. I too was afraid they would melt. But luckily the glue cools down so fast that it doesn't melt the chocolate.

Jummmmmmmmmy! Better keep it out of the sun.

[BeaG]

Definately!

[MissChrissie]

This is wonderful! It wouldn't last in my house though!

I gasped when the images loaded! Two kios of chocolate eggs is a whole lot, but your wreath is so pretty. If the porch got sunny they'd be done for, I think if I make one I'll hang it on the inside of the door.

[BeaG]

Thank you!
Mine is standing on the kitchen chimney (the fire will not be used untill next winter, we use our central heating). It is out of the sun too. It holds up well (and nobody ate from it... yet).

I wouldn't be able to take a pic of mine.... it would have a bunch of empty wrappers hanging off of it!... I do love it though!

Oh..I am so very happy to see my friend Bea here with a crafting project. Her creations are so incredibly fabulous and she always utilizes the most unique found and common objects and turns them into masterpieces of art! She is the best and I am constantly inspired by her and her work..plus she is also one of the nicest people you will ever know!

[BeaG]

Aaaw, thank you, Think!

that is totally cool!. great work!

[BeaG]

Thanks!

ps: that was 2 years ago though, gheghe.

[Megtastic]

This is so beautiful, but to be honest it makes me cry a little on the inside. As a chocoholic I would definitely call this a lovely display of abuse. Great work!!! 

[BeaG]

(I got two simultanious requests to revive this thread.)

Please feel free to make one yourself!

[sweets4ever]

Thanks again for sharing this, BeaG!  I featured it in our weekly project e-newsletter today.  Cheers!

[JijiReagan]

Oh wow! I'm not sure I'd even finish making it before my husband started eating

[pennyjo]

    Really cute, but not very practical.  My door faces the sun, it's metal so it gets hot, the chocolate would melt, and then I'd eat it all and there would go my bet to lose 25lbs by Aug. LOL

[BeaG]

Thank you, Sweets!
I feel honoured.

Pennyjo, we don't put our wreaths on the outside of a door.
Instead we hang them on the wall of for instance our living room, put them on a mantle piece or a cupboard or a bookshell, etc.
Or we ly them flat on a table, for instance as a centerpiece on a dinner table.
This particular one should not be hung/put on a sunny spot!
Or close to a chocolate addict..., lol.

(I'll add this to the original post.)

[Granite State Stamper]

This is awesome!  I will definitely be creating one.  Thanks for sharing it will us.

[sweets4ever]

It would be SO cute flat on a table as a centerpiece.  Maybe plop a crochet bunny right in the middle, too!

I hang wreaths everrrrywhere.  Door, mantle, leaning against walls, you name it.  I believe I'm a wreath-a-holic, though, hehe.

YES!!This wreath would definitely not be safe near me LOL 
I will try and make this and hope to make a complete wreath before consuming most of the chocolate.

[BeaG]

Perhaps you should buy extra chocolate eggs.
And when you find a wrapper that 'accidentally' came loose and therefore is unsuitable for your project, well, you will have to eat the egg..., right?

WOW, you are brilliant!  The red button one is so beautiful.  And the branch clippings one!  Ahhh... I love them all.
