Easter Craft Idea 1: Colourful Bunny Garland from Amy at DIYCandy
A simple and colourful craft to complete, what you’ll need is:
- Coloured Paper
- A Bunny Shaped Template
- Some Neutral Coloured Yarn
- A Fork
- Glue
- Scissors
To make:
- Firstly, print out a bunny shaped template of your choice onto regular paper.
- Use the template as a guide to cut out as many bunnies as you like from the coloured paper.
- Next make the pom poms by using yarn and a fork. To make the pom poms all you need to do is wrap the yarn around the outside of a fork approximately 40 – 60 times.
- Once satisfied with the size of your pom pom, cut a 20cm piece of yarn to tie off the yarn in a knot as tightly as you can. Then you can cut off both loops on each side and fluff.
- Use glue to attach the pom poms to the bunnies.
- Cut a length of yarn for your garland making it as long as you like.
- Finally use the glue to attach the bunnies to the yarn and hang in your desired location!

- 255g plain flour
- 128g unsalted butter
- 75g icing sugar (plus more to decorate with)
