I used a gift bag to make the eggs because I loved the look of it, but you don't have to do that. If you have a younger kid who wants to help with this craft, you can have him or her color bright colors on a piece of card stock and then cut out eggs from that drawing. You could also use this free Easter egg template to print eggs onto printer paper and then have your child color them there. Then, use those eggs in the craft. That would be such a fun way to get your kids involved. It's your craft, so use whatever creative ways you can think of to make eggs and make this craft personalized to you and your family. But, just keep in mind that if you do use something else, you'll need to pick up some sort of rope to use to hang the wreath.
