DIY SATURDAY :: DIY EASTER GARLAND

   Hi There! Easter is just around the corner and I can't wait to have some fun watching my kiddos hunt for some eggs, I have so many plans for them...
 This DIY Garland is just an alternative to use the banner templates from my EASTER COLLECTION, I made it for a photoshoot and I really like the how it turns out.  It's an easy project , you can make this weekend and get ready to celebrate the big day with style! 



To make this Easter Garland you will need to download the templates.

Material needed:


  1. Banner templates;
  2. Twine;
  3. Hot glue / gun;
  4. Plastic eggs (approximately 24 units)
  5. Ribbon;
  6. Wire or any kind of stems;
  7. Small screw driver (to make holes on the eggs) and lighter;
  8. Spray adhesive;

Instructions:

  •  Print it out the Easter Banner (2x each page) and cut it out;

  • If your eggs doesn't have holes on it, heat a screw driver and make a hole on the bottom and another on the top of each egg;

  • Attach the twine on the wire (I didn't have a wire, so I used a Chenille stem) using a little bit of hot glue;
  • HAPPY WORD - cut approximately 60" of the twine -  Starting  from the top, pass the twine through the first egg and make a knot very close to the top of the egg, so the egg won't slip;
  • Glue the twine on the middle of the H letter (make sure the letter it's not up side down);


  • Apply spray adhesive on the other H letter and stick both toghether;
  • Put another egg, then the next letter; 


  • Repeat these steps until you put the last letter, to finish use 2 eggs on the bottom to make the garland heavier, you can also alternate the letters using Ribbons instead of eggs;
  • EASTER WORD - approximately 70" twine
  • BUNNY/BIRD 3 templates garland - 42" twine
  • BUNNY/BIRD 4 templates garland - 48" twine
Have fun!

xoxo,
