Hi Friends,

Today, we’re sharing our Paper Roll Easter Bunny Garland. It features a simple bunny face or a more detailed one, cute bunny tails, and colorful paper rolls. It's recycled, repurposed, bold, sweet, slightly geometric, a bit time-consuming, but so darn cute. Check it out below!

We’ll show you two options below

Single Striped/Swirled Rolls

Start by taping diagonally, vertically, or horizontally, and paint the 1st color or just in 1 single color.
Make sure to lay the tape down firmly
When the paint is dry, remove the tape and paint the exposed roll. Then set it aside.
Optional: Add tape to the outer edges of the unpainted area before proceeding to ensure even lines.

Double Striped Rolls

Start on one end and lay the tape across diagonally. Add a second piece in the opposite direction, making sure the ends meet. It creates a V shape.
Paint both sides in different colors or the same ones.
When the rolls are dry, remove the tape and paint the stripes or leave them unpainted.

Bunny

Fold your construction paper in half and glue it together.
Use a mug/small bowl to trace the bunny face, then draw your ears, and cut the bunny out.

Simple Bunny: Cut thin strips of black paper and glue near the center of the face. Tear a small piece of cotton ball for the nose, glue on.

Detailed Bunny: Paint the pink inside the bunny’s ears and on cheeks (not pictured), draw the mouth & whiskers(not pictured) and lastly glue a small painted cotton ball.

Grass & Bunny Tail

Fold your dark and light green papers into four sections, draw the grass, and cut them all out.
Decide which color you’d like on top before gluing 1 dark green and 1 light green together (4 sets).
Split the remaining 4 cotton balls in half and glue 1/2 on the front of the grass (right or left side works best). Glue the other 1/2 on the back, on the opposite side (Shown below).

STRING

Punch two holes in the rolls, 2 holes in the bunny faces (Naomi chose to punch 2 more holes as eyes), and 2-4 holes in the grass.
Cut about 5 ft. of yarn/twine, depending on how long you want it, how much space you’d like between the items, and lastly, whether you’d like to wrap some yarn/twine around the rolls as I did.
Thread your yarn/twine through the bunny and make sure your string is even before alternating the other items.

Feed the string through the outside to hide it or the inside if you want to display/wrap it around, before feeding it back in and out.

4. When you get to the end, loop the string back into the hole a 2nd time and tie.

That’s it!
