I know that Easter is 2 days away, and this is a little last minute for Easter, but this project is also great for baby showers and nurseries! So pin this one for later.
I love how this bunny banner turned out, and it was so fun to put together. I will be honest, it is a little tedious with all of the paper flowers I made, but the end result looks whimsical and makes a great decoration for Easter, baby shower, or nursery! Here is what you’re going to need:
Materials:
White Cardstock + Bunny Banner Printable
Gold Cardstock (1 is plenty!)
Colored Cardstock + Paper Flowers (Check out these tutorials)
Glue + Hot Glue Gun
String + Tape
Optional: Tiny pearls for extra embellishment for your flowers found at your local craft store.
The very first thing I did was make all of my flowers. My flowers are smaller than many of the tutorials I found, and one way you can make the flowers smaller on some of the templates is to reduce the percentage on the Print Window that pops up before you print. Or, if you have a Cricut, you can adjust the size there with your file.
Print out your Bunny Printable on white cardstock. You will see on the printable there is an ear (it prints on every page) for you to trace on the back of the Gold Cardstock. After you’ve cut out the center of the ears from the gold cardstock, glue them in the middle of the ears as pictured above.
Then, hot glue the flowers and position them the at the top of the bunny’s head. Add additional embellishments in the middle of the flowers. String them together, hang it up and admire your work!
As it seems to with every year, this year is going by fast. I cannot believe we are already at the end of March! With March ending, Easter is just around the corner and I love this time of year. Warmer weather is making its way (if it ever does in Washington), flowers and blossoms are blooming, and of course Easter (and all it’s yummy candy that is all over the store shelves). Cadbury eggs are my weakness… I literally cannot take a small handful and be done with it… I at least eat half the bag. I bought a bag of Cadbury eggs last week, and it was gone in two days. I tried to explain to my husband that I was trying to be good, but I have no will power when it comes to those darn eggs, and sometimes my efforts for giving away Easter goodies are non existent.
My boys love the Chips Ahoy cookies, and ask for them almost every time they see them at the store. Normally the answer is a no, but every once in a while I need a little something sweet, so I cave in. Since they love it so much, I thought it would be fun for my kindergartner to pass them out to his class for Valentine’s day and made these fun little pirate Valentines to go along with the cookies.
1. When printing out the printable, make sure you DO NOT hit “Fit to Page” “Fit to Scale” in your printer settings when you print. This will throw off how you cut your printable and the print on the front will not be centered. Make sure you select “Actual Size”.
