It’s hard to believe Easter is this weekend! I feel like we just had St. Patrick’s Day and it’s still super cold outside! I usually stick with a happy yellow forsythia wreath for our front door throughout spring but was in a wreath making mood so I whipped up this simple Easter Bunny wreath.
Materials needed:
- Basic wreath
- Silk flowers
- Foam board
- Mini Easter eggs
- Pipe cleaners/straw
- Hot glue gun
I started out with a simple leafy wreath. I love boxwood wreaths but found this guy on sale a few years ago and rotate him through the seasons by switching out flowers.
Searching ‘bunny silhouette’ in images online, I found this perfect cartoonish looking bunny. I traced him onto my brown foam board and cut him out. His name is Franky, in case you were wondering.
To make Franky easy to stick in to the wreath, I hot glued a straw, knowing it would be stable enough to hold his weight. I used pipecleaners as the sticks for the mini Easter eggs but a twist tie would work as well.
Sticking Franky and his eggs into the wreath was extremely easy. I twisted the pipe cleaners slightly to make sure they wouldn’t fall out.
I snipped the tops of a few stems of flowers to fill in the rest of my wreath. I went with happy spring colors to keep the dark green light and airy. Make sure to leave enough stem on the flowers to stick through the branches of the wreath. If you use your front door a lot, be sure to twist the stems or use a twist tie to fasten the flowers.
Cute. Franky is so happy to greet our friends and neighbors when they come to the door. This wreath was extremely quick and simple for how much impact it makes on my front door. My favorite part is that I can store away the props with my Easter decor and re-use my wreath next season! Do you have a wreath or sign on your front door? Would you ever consider DIYing your wreaths? To purchase a wreath of this size would cost $40-$50 at a hobby store already decorated. I made it custom to my taste and saved money!

So cute! We haven’t had a wreath on our door for a while. I should probably rectify that!!
Frank is adorable :). The wreath is definitely light, airy and cheery! I don’t have anything on my door. That’s ok. The only people who come are the UPS guy and mailman ;).
I bet it would brighten their and your day when you came home though!!! Sophie always likes looking at our wreath. 🙂
This is really cute. I need to make one with just the flowers for spring. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Steph! My intentions were to make this a ‘1 wreath 3 ways’ post and make St. Patty’s, Spring and Easter wreath decorations that I could swap out. I wasted too much time and didn’t make the St. Patty’s wreath or Spring wreath. In the end it was ok because I returned $85 worth of silk flowers that was to make up the Spring version. 🙂
