[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Easter wreath suggestions

[Jolene Nemeth]

you can get eggs made of foam that are on picks or even little flower
picks. they sell little chenille  chicks in different colors. felt
bunny shapes are good too. sometimes they have bunnies on picks.
i have done all of these before.
you could also use a straw or foam wreath form.
