lily bee design team blog hop | a bunny garland tutorial…

Hi there, Lily Bee fans! Welcome to my blog!!

Our blog hop continues with this week's theme of Spring / Easter projects! I wanted to share the bunny garland I created to hang on our mantle this year:

It was so easy to make – here’s how I did it:

1.  I cut several bunny shapes with my Silhouette Cameo (if you don’t already have one…you really NEED one!  You can purchase one here or here (where they are $30 OFF right now! – you’re welcome! ;).  The sweet bunny shape is from the silhouette store.  For each bunny I punched three 1” circles from patterned paper.  By the way, all of the paper I used for this project is part of the Pinwheel Collection by Lily Bee. :)

2.  I used a soft gray ink (attic dust by Prima) to ink the edges of every piece.

3.  Stack the three circles and place on the bunny bum.  Add a staple to the center(ish)…it doesn’t have to be perfectly centered.

4.  Fold the circles up toward the center and then fan them out to make a puffy tail.

5.  Use a 1/16” hole punch to add holes to each ear.  String baker’s twine through each ear (I used a flosser as a “needle”). 

6. Add all of the bunnies onto the twine and hang them up!

 

I know…it’s so simple…but it looks so cute hanging above our fireplace.  Even the kids could make this – make it a family activity! :)
