Get ready to add a touch of spring to your home by creating a beautiful Easter floral decoration using a DIY wood crate. Follow this step-by-step guide to make your own homemade centerpiece. I'm excited to share this simple DIY project with you all. I've been working on a few more Spring/Easter projects, and this one turned out so adorable. Let's get started on creating your very own wood crate Easter floral decoration. Happy crafting!
Video tutorial
- One pack of three decoration chicks- I purchased my chicks at my local Michaels store for $1.49
- Moss- I'm using Proflora moss from Walmart for $3.47
- Spring faux floral and greenery
- One wood crate box- Purchased at local Dollar Tree for $1.25
- Assorted decorative Easter eggs- Purchased at Michaels for $3.49
- Hot glue
- Paint- I used light yellow and white for my wood crate box
- One square foam block
- Flower snips
- Total around $9
We will begin with painting the wood crate box. Depending on if you are using two colors, you can mix the two colors. I used light yellow and white. Add your paint onto the front, back, sides, and top sections of your box. If you want your box to be a little darker, apply several coats of paint. Set your box aside, and allow it to dry.
Step 2: Cutting and adding the foam block
Next, take your square foam block, and cut a section of your foam block off. You want just enough to fit on the inside of your box.
Once you have placed a section of your foam block inside of your box, take your hot glue, and begin to apply your glue in a thin layer on top of the block.
Step 3: Adding the moss and flowers
Take some of your moss add it on top of your foam block, and glue. Be sure to spread your moss evenly on top.
Next, take your floral snips, and start to cut your floral, and greenery if needed. Take your hot glue, and glue in your floral, and greenery. I added my floral around my moss in the back, and also in the front.
Step 4: Adding the mini chicks and eggs
After you have added in your chicks, take two of your Easter eggs, and add them in. Take a little hot glue, add it to the bottom of each egg, and gently press it down on top of the moss.
Once you have completed that step, take your decoration chicks, and add them in using your hot glue.
Your project is complete and ready to display. I love how this project turned out, and it looks beautiful displayed as a centerpiece, or on a windowsill.
I hope that you all have enjoyed this Easter floral decoration. Be sure to leave a comment, and let me know if you decide to create your very own.
I'll see you soon!
