First, a little about the symbolism of the wreath. The Easter wreath, representing eternal life, is one of the symbols of the Easter holiday. Its very round shape embodies the concept of eternity and infinity, plus it refers to the image of the sun, which returns nature to life every spring. The flowers and leaves that adorn the wreath carry the same meaning. An egg is a symbol of the miracle of birth, a hare or a rabbit - fertility and prosperity.

Also, an Easter wreath, especially - made by yourself, can be a wonderful gift for the holiday. Your attention - a few simple ways to make an Easter wreath and the idea of its design.
