Decorating for Easter

In between bouts of horrible gastro (that seems to have effected everyone in this house except Sean) I've managed to get a bit of Easter decorating done.

I haven't gone overboard, but have changed up the dining room side-board to include a nod to all things Easter.




 




The bunny silhouette was a really simple DIY and it's one of my favourite things.


I started out with some fabric that I had left over from my Christmas Tree Skirt, and I pinned it down onto a board so that it wouldn't move around.

 

I found a bunny image on google, printed it out onto card stock, added a bit of double sided tape to the back so that it would stay still, and then traced it onto my fabric using a sharpie.




After that I just coloured it in, stuck on a bow with hot glue, popped it into a frame and I was done. Simple, but very sweet.

 




I think it would look really sweet in a baby girl's nursery too!

Tell me, do you decorate for Easter?

    I love your bunny. When I saw your first picture I was like I want one of those bunny prints, can not believe it was that easy, I'm so making one!
    Thanks Tamsyn, have a great Easter :)

    Oh Tamsyn, you poor thing. Gastro is EVIL. I'm amazed you still managed to decorate the house! Hope you're feeling better soon! xx

    I love the little puff ball/flower bunting. What is it? Did you make it?

    The whole display is perfect!

      Hi Jennifer, they were actually some flowers I picked up in a store. They're made of a thin papery/foam material. I just tied them onto some string and hung them.

      Happy Easter :)

    This is such a pretty idea! We don't really do anything special for Easter.. now I feel like we should!! Mind you, my kids are only 2 and 6 months, maybe when they get a bit older :) X

      I started doing it a couple of years ago, I can't imagine not decorating for Easter now! Max is two and he loves looking at the Easter bunny picture :)

    Gorgeous! I love the magic you create with a Sharpie!! We have an old set of drawers acting as our Easter table. Brian thinks it's his though, so it's decorated by a 3 year old!

      Sounds adorable :) Max has just worked out the little eggs in the apothecary jar are actually chocolate (he caught me eating them!), so now he thinks this table belongs to him too!

    You're so creative! That's so simple and it's so lovely. We don't generally decorate for Easter, but now I'm feeling bad that we don't :).
    I hope you and your family have a lovely Easter hun x
