Tips and tricks

• Use good quality wire cutters to make the process of cutting the chicken wire easier. If you are unsure, you can follow the instructions on how to cut chicken wire.
• Get creative with your colour choices for the eggs and leaves to match your existing decor or create a vibrant Easter-themed palette.
• Before you start attaching decorations, plan out the arrangement on the chicken wire to ensure a balanced and aesthetically pleasing design.
• As you form the wreath shape, adjust the tension of the chicken wire to ensure it holds its form securely without being too tight or too loose.
• When hanging your finished wreath, use a sturdy hook or door hanger capable of supporting its weight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or areas prone to moisture to preserve its longevity.
• Consider adding additional embellishments such as ribbon, faux flowers, or seasonal ornaments to further personalize your wreath and make it uniquely yours. Utilize a chicken wire wreath frame for added stability and structure, ensuring your decorations stay securely in place.
