Alternatively, if you want to help your kids get even more creative with their colouring, you can easily make DIY Easter wreaths out of their drawings. This video from Crayola shows you how.
2. Paper daffodil Easter wreath
Daffodils are one of the first flowers to bloom here in the UK and are a sure sign that spring is here..
If you’d like to add some delightful daffs to your door, check out our how to make a paper daffodil wreath tutorial.
A paper-cutting machine will speed up the project but don’t worry if you don’t have one. You can still make this DIY Easter wreath by cutting out the templates with a decent pair of scissors.

If you want a quick crafty way to add a splash of colour to your door, you can always make this plastic egg DIY Easter wreath.
These small plastic eggs are great for filling with your own custom treats (in case you don't want the kids stuffing themselves with chocolate), and you can often find them in craft and discount shops around Easter time.
