The Most Charming Easter Garland Is A DIY Dream Using A Few Basic Materials

Decorating the home for Easter can feel overwhelming if you don't know where to start, so consider keeping things simple by making your own trimmings. One quick and easy Easter decor DIY you may want to try out is garland made of only a few basic materials. All you'll need to do to create this festive piece to display in your own home is string ribbon through a few foam rabbits by poking a hole in the middle of each with a pencil or wooden dowel. You could use the LUOEM Rabbit Foam Shapes and thick ribbon in any pastel color of your choice to make this cute accouterment.

One of the perks of creating your own garland is that you can customize it however you'd like. To take this DIY Easter decor to the next level, you could paint the foam rabbits or add large pastel beads to the ribbon. After stringing the ribbon through foam rabbits and incorporating your own creative touches, you'll have your very own garland to hang above your fireplace, above a window, or any other spot in your home you'd like to make more festive for the holiday.

If you want to paint your foam rabbits, this will be your first step. However, blasting them with spray paint without applying the proper primer isn't a good idea. Unfortunately, spray paint can melt foam. To dodge this problem, simply apply a primer like the Krylon Craft Foam Primer before coating each of the foam rabbits with spray paint.

Move forward with assembling your own DIY Easter garland once the paint dries completely. To string the rabbits onto the ribbon, wrap the fabric around the end of a long pointed object and pull it through each of the foam animals from one end to the next. If you choose to use the LUOEM Rabbit Foam Shapes, know that these are not attached to sticks like the rabbits shown above.

Therefore, you would have to complete this step with a wooden dowel, a pen, or a pencil instead of detaching the stick to use for this purpose like the content creator did. You could give your garland more character by adding items like flowers or beads in between the rabbits. As for the ribbon, it should be super easy to find a roll in your favorite pastel color. You could also use ribbon with an Easter-themed pattern, such as one of the rolls within the colorful Riffance Easter Ribbon set. Adding those special touches will make this DIY unique to you.
