DIY Easter Cross Wreath

 




SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS WREATH:

  • A long and short bundle of twigs (from your local craft store or gathered from outside)
  • Large fake flowers and smaller filler flowers
  • twine
  • scissors and/or floral cutters
  • hot glue gun

Hobby Lobby is my go-to craft store and that’s where I found my supplies. I grabbed a bundle of twigs from there and trimmed some of them down for the horizontal part of the cross. They also had some already bundled together with a mini circular wreath attached, and those would have worked well too.




The first step is to use twine to bundle together two sets of twigs. One set should be shorter than the other. Mine were actually equal in length but I just trimmed one set later on.


The next step is to assemble the cross by joining the bundles of twigs together with more twine. At this point, I trimmed the horizontal branches. I used floral cutters for the thicker branches and scissors for the thinner ones.


The last step is attaching the flowers with hot glue. I attached the larger flowers with glue, and I was able to weave in the littler flowers with minimal glue. When in doubt, use a little glue!


I kept it very simple and  looped a piece of twine in the back to hang it to the door.


And that’s it! This was such a simple craft to make for the home and meaningful for the Easter Season.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
