There’s just something about springtime and Dollar Tree crafts – for me they seem to go hand in hand. I’ve made quite a few Easter crafts with things I’ve purchased at Dollar Tree, like my Spring Bunny Gumball Machines. I’m not sure I can replicate the popularity of that project, but I tried with this Dollar Tree Easter Wreath that I made with a deviled egg tray of all things!

How to Make a Dollar Tree Egg Tray Wreath
This Easter wreath or spring wreath is unique and really fun to put together! (And hey, you might like this other unique DIY spring wreath tutorial, too!)
Step One: Paint the Deviled Egg Tray
Begin by spray painting the back side of the deviled egg tray. Be careful not to overspray (like I did), because spray paint will run over the edge of the tray and onto the front. This will leave splotchy paint marks around the edges. They’re not too noticeable, but they’re annoying. 🙂
Step Two: Prepare The Decorative Eggs
While the deviled egg tray is drying, pull all of the foam eggs off of their wooden sticks, if that’s the type of faux eggs you’re using.
Tap your fingers and grow increasingly impatient as you wait for your spray paint to dry. (I detest waiting for paint to dry!)
Step Three: Attach the Eggs to the Tray
Once the paint has dried, fire up the glue gun and get to work attaching the faux eggs into their little spots on the egg tray.
Step Four: Decorate the Center of the Tray
Next, fill up the center part of the egg tray. Glue some moss at the bottom part of it, and then glue a foam bunny in there, too.
If you’re feeling ambitious, cut a piece of twine or string and attach it at the top of the center part of the tray. Then wrap some washi tape around it to look like little bunting pieces. So cute!
Step Five: Create a Wreath Hanger
Once everything is in place and fully dried, flip it over carefully and attach two mini Command hooks upside down to the back. Then you can run your ribbon through the hooks and tie it up for hanging!
And that is how you make an adorable Egg Tray Easter Wreath with Dollar Tree supplies!
It could not be easier (or much less expensive)!

Gail E Loy says
What other paint can I use if can’t use spray paint?
Bre says
Hi, Gail! I would suggest chalk paint because it can stick to plastic nicely. Otherwise you might try a multi-surface acrylic paint that says it can be used on plastic. It will take a few coats of brush on paint but it should cover eventually!
