Paper Easter Egg Wreath Craft is a simple, cheerful project that instantly makes a table look like spring. If you need a calm activity for kids that does not require fancy supplies, this one is perfect. Children can cut and decorate paper eggs, then glue them into a wreath shape and finish with a ribbon bow. The result looks bright, festive, and “display-ready,” exactly like the photo.

This craft is great for home, classrooms, and playdates because every child can personalize their eggs with patterns, stickers, or scrapbook paper. It also works nicely as a handmade decoration for doors, walls, or a spring party table.

What You’ll Need

Colored cardstock or construction paper
Patterned scrapbook paper (optional but pretty)
Scissors
Glue stick or white school glue
Pencil
A bowl or round plate to trace a circle
Ribbon for a bow (or paper strips if you do not have ribbon)
Optional: stickers, markers, crayons, foam dots, washi tape

Setup tip

If you are crafting with younger kids, pre-cut a pile of egg shapes. They can focus on decorating and gluing, which is the most fun part.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1) Make a wreath base

Trace a large circle on cardstock using a plate or bowl. Then draw a smaller circle inside it to form a ring. Cut out the ring.

If you do not want a base, you can also build the wreath by gluing eggs directly into a circle. A base just makes it easier to keep the shape neat.

2) Cut paper eggs

Cut several egg shapes from cardstock or patterned paper. You will usually need 10 to 14 eggs depending on size.

For a fast method, fold paper in half and cut two eggs at once.

3) Decorate the eggs

Let kids decorate each egg with simple patterns:

dots
stripes
zigzags
mini hearts
sticker clusters
washi tape lines

Encourage variety. A wreath looks best when each egg feels a little different.

4) Arrange the eggs in a circle

Place eggs around the wreath base before gluing. Slightly overlap them so the ring looks full. Mix colors evenly so one side does not look heavier than the other.

5) Glue everything down

Glue each egg in place. Press gently and hold for a few seconds. If you are using white glue, allow a few minutes for it to set.

6) Add the bow

Tie a ribbon bow and glue it at the top of the wreath. If you want it to match the photo style, let the ribbon tails hang down slightly.

No ribbon? Cut a bow shape from patterned paper and glue that on instead.

7) Hang and display

Tape a loop of string to the back, or simply tape the wreath to a wall, door, or window.

Tips for a Clean, Cute Result

Use cardstock so the wreath stays firm and does not bend.
Overlap eggs slightly to hide gaps.
If glue gets messy, use a glue stick for cleaner edges.
Keep patterns simple for toddlers, more detailed for older kids.
For a more “finished” look, add a second ribbon layer or a small center label like “Happy Easter.”

Fun Variations

Make it a learning activity

Write letters or numbers on each egg, then have kids put them in order around the wreath.

Make it 3D

Glue a small folded paper strip behind each egg so it lifts slightly off the base for texture.

Make it a class project

Each child decorates one egg, then you assemble one large wreath for the classroom wall.

Safety Notes

For toddlers, supervise scissors and skip tiny embellishments that could be choking hazards. Stickers and crayons are the easiest safe decorations.

FAQ

How many eggs do I need?

Most wreaths look full with 10 to 14 eggs, but it depends on size. Arrange first before gluing so you can adjust.

Can I make this without a wreath base?

Yes. Build a circle by overlapping eggs directly on a sheet of paper, then trim around the outside once dry.

How do I store it for next year?

Store flat in a large envelope, a shallow box, or between two pieces of cardboard so it does not bend.
