Vintage Easter Wreath DIY

February 22, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Last year I fell in love with a vintage Easter wreath that was chalk full of adorable vintage Easter trinkets.

I made it my mission to start hunting for these small Easter collectibles to create my own wreath and the process was very simple. Vintage Easter items can be slightly more difficult to find and on the more expensive side, so I did incorporate some vintage reproduction pieces into the wreath. Overall I love the arrangement and all the cheerful colors, it just screams SPRING! Supplies Foam Wreath Form Iridescent Tinsel Garland (I used this garland) Vintage Style Easter ...

Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornam Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornaments in a freak flood in the lower part of our crawl space. When I tell you it was so depressing to see so many ornaments covered in mold and all of the color peeling off of them, it was bad 😞 

But yesterday I found the most magical collection at an estate sale. The entire basement was Christmas, it was like a dream. I am so thankful to have found these and I will definitely cherish them! Cheers to halfway to Christmas! πŸŽ„β€οΈπŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’šπŸŽ„
