Bunny Banner



I'm starting to get excited for Easter.  I don't really decorate for any holiday except Christmas but I love to make holiday crafts with my kids, especially things to hang and display in their play room.

My daughter and I made this fun bunny banner last week to hang up in the play room.


I first drew up some of these cute little bunny outlines.


We then set to work cutting them out.   It was no easy task for a four year old, but she's great with the scissors and we worked together.


Next was the fun part.  We went through my scrapbook paper and made our bunny tails using my 2 inch scalloped punch.  This punch is the only scrapbook toy I have and it was worth every penny.  I use it for so many things.


We then taped those bunny tails on and used a hole punch to punch the holes in the ears so we could string them together.


. . . And my daughter thought it would be funny if she had a bunny tail too . . .


All strung together, looking bright and springy!

Cute bunny tails . . .


What do you do to make Easter fun in your home?

I'm linking to these parties.

    Very Easter! We haven't even started anything to do with Easter yet. I've printed out a couple of crocheting patterns for eggs and baskets, but that's as far as I've gotten so far.

    That banner is SO cute! I'm thinking that an egg-shaped one would be good cutting practice for my little kiddos.
