DIY Easter Decorations

Buying decorations at a home or party store can get expensive. It is easy to create some Easter decorations for your home yourself. If you enjoy making crafts, this will be a good way to save money while making your home look festive.

Things You'll Need

• Thick cardboard
• Easter bunny picture
• Pencil
• Scissors
• White tulle
• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Pink cloth
• Pink tulle
• Foam wreath
• Pastel candy-covered almonds
• Ribbon

Instructions

Tulle Easter Bunny

1. Using a picture of an Easter bunny as a reference or an outline, draw an Easter bunny on a piece of cardboard that is large enough to hang on your door or on the wall. Cut the bunny shape out of the cardboard.

2. Heat up a glue gun.

3. Place some hot glue on the cardboard bunny and begin wrapping the bunny with the white tulle. You only need enough hot glue to make sure the tulle stays in place. Wrapping the bunny should help keep the tulle in place. If you can still see the brown cardboard when you finish with one layer of tulle, add another layer.

4. Cut an oval shape out of pink cloth for the inside of the Easter bunny's ears. Use the hot glue to attach the pink cloth to the tulle.

5. Tie a big bow around the Easter bunny's neck using the pink tulle.

Candied Almond Wreath

1. Place a foam wreath on a flat surface and heat up your glue gun.

2. Begin gluing candy-covered almonds to the wreath. Put the almonds on the wreath in a continuous circular pattern until the front, inside and outside of the wreath are covered. Don't worry about the back of the wreath. The number of almonds you will need depends on the size of your wreath.

3. Loop a pastel ribbon through the center of the wreath and hang it on a door or wall.
