Easter Bunny Garland

Pin It

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down my mantel trail....hmmhmmhmm

 

I've been in the Easter-spirit lately...maybe these cute little bunnies hopping across my mantel have something to do with it!

 

Here's a quick tutorial for my Easter Bunny Garland:

(It's as easy as it looks!)

1.  I downloaded and printed out this bunny silhouette.

2.  I tried 19 times (unsuccessfully) to unlock our guest bedroom door to retrieve my awesome sparkle scrapbook paper that I got at Michael's.  Does anyone else lock their guest room doors to keep their toddlers out of their craft supplies?  After 19 unsuccessful tries, I tried to call Mr. Hoff for instructions.  When that didn't work I manhandled that doorknob until it slid open....nothing stands between me and my sparkle scrapbook paper.  Nothing.

3.  I traced the bunny silhouette onto my sparkle scrapbook paper. (I actually cut the bunny down a bit and could get 3 bunnies on one piece of scrapbook paper.)

4.  I thought the bunnies needed a little something extra, so I hot glued a piece of cotton to each bunny tail.

5.  I tied some tiny bows and hot-glued them onto tiny clothespins.

6.  I clipped my bunnies onto some twine...So cute!

 

Love these cuties!  The mantel needs a little more "Easter-izing" doesn't it? Does an elephant really have a place on an Easter mantel?  These are deep questions, aren't they? Hmm...

 

One more close-up shot!

 

Don't you love an easy craft?  There's something quite satisfying about making a sparkly garland in under a half an hour.  :)

 

Have a great day!
