Easter is an important holiday that comes with the added bonus of opportunities to indulge in both colorful and charming décor details. Between the Easter eggs, butterflies, flowers and baby chicks, holiday decorations in April hold vast potential for kicking up the cuteness factor. When looking for a quick way to create an Easter wreath that tugs on the heartstrings, consider crafting a chick-themed wall accent that’s simple to make and sure to please.
A traditional branch wreath can become a dazzling home for baby chicks when you add a standing branch. Purchase fake chicks in vibrant yellow hues to stand out nicely against the natural branch tones. Those chicks come to life even more vividly when you scatter small bunches of faux baby’s breath throughout the wreath. Hanging this Easter chick wreath with a single piece of twine incorporates a rustic touch. While the wreath would work well as a door decoration, it could be just as captivating when hung on a living room or kitchen wall.
