Easy and Fun Easter decorations for the whole family

I thought I would post some of my favorite and easy Easter decorations. First up is a cute little bunny and some eggs.

To make these fun little bunnies all you need is some fun colored paper, cotton balls, glue stick, hole punch, and ribbon.

1. Draw a fun bunny shape and cut it out of any paper (if you aren't comfortable drawing one just google a bunny template and print it out)

2. Now you can skip this step if you want, but I chose to laminate my bunnies so they would last longer.

3. Glue on some cotton balls for their tails. I just used a regular glue stick.

4. Now punch a hole at the top and thread some ribbon through the hole.

5. Hang anywhere that you want. I chose to hang one bunny then an egg.

Congrats, You're done. Now just repeat the steps to make more bunnies.

Next Project: Easter Tree



This one is super easy, and I bet most of you have one. All you need is a tree limb, spray paint, eggs, bunnies or chickens, a cute spring flower pot, and ribbon.

1. Spray paint your tree limb, I chose to spray it white.

2. Place tree limb in your cute flower pot, I used mulch and rocks to hold it in place.

3. Thread eggs and chickens or bunnies with ribbon

4. Hang everything on your tree, I added a bunny in front of my tree, because I only hung chickens up.

Congrats! You're all done!

I hope that you and your families have fun making these two easy Easter decorations!!

Ribbon Wreath

Wow! It's been a really long time since my last post, so I thought I would start with something fun. This past week I worked on a ribbon wreath for spring/ summer. From start to finish it took around 4 or 5 hours and around $55. I know it's not cheap, but I really enjoyed this project!

Supply List
- 9 different ribbons, each one 5 yards long
- 2 rolls of ribbon to cover your wreath(same ribbon)
- 1 ribbon to hang wreath with
- 12 inch foam wreath
- Hot glue gun

First thing you need are 9 different ribbons each one being 5 yards long. Cut each ribbon to 4 1/2 inches. You will use all 5 yards of each ribbon!

Next hot glue each ribbon to form a loop. Repeat for what feels like forever!!!!

Then wrap your wreath with your 2 rolls of ribbon(same ribbon) and attach other ribbon to hang wreath with.

Now start placing your looped ribbons all over the wreath by using your hot glue gun.

I know that it sounds easy, and it is, but it will take some time!!

Here are some pictures to show you how it goes!
