Easter Wreath Time!

This is probably the cheapest Easter wreath you can make.

No, seriously.

I calculated my total cost to be less that $5.

That isn't counting the spray adhesive I had at home!

I took the other half of plumbers pipe fitting and secured it into a circle. ($.49)

Then I spray painted it green (the whole can was $.94 because I bought the cheap kind)

And let it dry.

Then I took the spray adhesive and coated what I decided to be the front (how much does that stuff cost? I don't know. I bought it so long ago that I forgot)

**crafters note: the spray adhesive is nearly impossible to get off wedding rings and glasses. You may want to remove them first!**

Then I took the green Easter basket stuffing and stuck that to the adhesive ($1 and I didn't use the whole bag)

Then another coat of adhesive to get it all to stick.

After it was dry, I took my bag of small Easter eggs and my E-6000 glue and started gluing them on top (Eggs: $.70 for the bag and I didn't use them all, and I don't remember what the glue costs. A little goes a long way and I'm pretty sure its not more than $2-3)

I let that dry and then added a ribbon bow that I made and a ribbon to hang it with ($1 bin at Michaels!)

And then I ended up with this:

Excuse my lack of photography skills.
Total Cost: $4.13

I think its cute and worth all the scrubbing needed to get the adhesive off my hands!
