How to Make an Easy Easter Garland

Learn how to make an easy Easter garland on the cheap that makes perfect spring home decor!

I’ve really enjoyed creating with burlap this Spring.

Burlap is sturdy, easy to work with, and cheap!

Today I’ll show you how to make an adorable burlap bunny Easter garland.

I know I always say this, but this project is really cheap and easy to make.

Anyone can do this!!

Be sure to check out these burlap bunny place mats and burlap bunny hanging that match this Easter banner perfectly!

All of these projects look great together, and have a similar look that will visually tie your decor together.

Burlap Easter Garland

This easy rabbit bunting banner looks great hanging on a mantle, but would also look great anywhere you want to hang it in your home.

Burlap is ridiculously cheap (especially if you have a coupon), as is the white felt I used for the rabbits.

There is VERY minimal sewing involved, but you can also go the no-sew route if you’d like.

Easter Banner Supplies

burlap
white felt
cardboard, card stock, or poster board (for bunny template)
scissors
jute, twine, etc. to hang the garland (I used macrame cord I found in the jewelery aisle at Joanns)
sewing machine (optional)
glue gun

Cut the Burlap Flags

Cut a triangle bunting template out of cardboard, poster board, or whatever you have on hand.

You can even use a cereal box!

Use the triangle template to cut out as many burlap triangles you need for your bunting.

I used 7 triangles for mine.

Each of my triangles was 8 1/2″ wide and 8 1/2″ long (down to the longest point), but feel free to make yours whatever size you would like your Easter garland to be.

Make the Felt Bunnies

Print out any bunny silhouette that you would like to use.

I found a cute one here that I liked.

Make sure to resize the bunny to the right size to fit on your burlap triangles.

Print and cut out the silhouette, trace it onto your cardboard, then cut it out.

Trace and cut out your bunnies, one bunny per triangle.

I used one sheet of stiff white felt, but regular white felt is fine too.

Add thin strips of hot glue to the back of the bunnies with your glue gun.

Glue one bunny onto each triangle, making sure not to use too much glue!

Using light glue will help the rabbits to stick without being able to see the glue through the felt.

Stitching the Edges

Sew a simple straight stitch around the edges of each bunting.

I know, I know….

It know you don’t want to sew, but it literally took less than a minute per triangle.

Burlap frays easily, and stitching around the edges prevents too much fraying.

You could skip this step, but I don’t recommend it, especially if you would like to use this garland year after year.

Finishing Up the Easter Garland

Glue the bunting onto the macrame cord.

Lay out the macrame cord straight, then carefully apply hot glue to the top of the cord in a straight line across the width of one bunting.

Carefully lay the bunting down over the hot glue, and press down gently.

Repeat this step for each bunting flag until you have glued down every garland triangle flag.

Cut the cord, and you are finished!

That wasn’t too bad, right?!

Look how cute the finished product is!

This Easter garland is so festive and springy, and makes me so happy every time I see it.
