DH actually gave me this idea for a craft when I complained that there are no Easter wreaths that depict the true meaning of Easter. I had thought about making a circular wreath with lilies on it, but he mentioned using wire hangers and yarn, like some wreaths that his mom had made while he was growing up.
So I used two wire hangers. I cut the hooks off and untwisted them with some wire cutters and pliers. I then shaped them into a cross shape, one hanger overlapping the other. I took yarn (I only used extra yarn that was not enough for blankets and scarves(which are the only things I have enough talent to crochet... LOL) and tied the cross pieces together and then wrapped the wires completely.
Once the wires were completely wrapped with yarn, I wrapped three strands of different colored yarns around my fingers four times and then tied the loops in the center. Using the same string that I tied the loops with, I then fastened the resulting bow to the wire hanger.
Viola!! My Easter "Wreath".
Happy Easter to you all!
