Let’s Make a Super Cute Happy Easter Banner
Hey crafty friends! This is Tiffani from A Krafting Alley, and in this blog post, I’m going to explain how I created this really cute Happy Easter banner—perfect for decorating your home this spring!
Cutting the Pieces
First, I cut out all the pieces using my electronic cutting machine. Important Note: When using this file, keep in mind that it’s downsized to fit on the design file page. So after opening the file, make sure to enlarge every piece to at least 6 inches in height if you want your banner to look like the one I made.
Cardstock Used:
I used cardstock from CutCardStock.com, but feel free to choose any color palette that matches your style!
- White (bunnies & letters): Cougar White 80 lb Cover Cardstock
- Pink (flowers, bunnies & eggs): Textured Discount Cardstock 80 lb in Pink Tutu
- Blue (flowers & eggs): Basis Cardstock 80 lb in Aqua
- Yellow (flower centers): Textured Discount Cardstock 80 lb in Yellow Jacket
- Leaves: Pop Tone Gumdrop Green 65 lb Cardstock
Assembly Time!
1. Bunnies
I started by assembling the bunnies. I used foam tape squares on the back of the pink bunny layer and attached it to the white base. This gave it some dimension and let the little eye and tail peek through—so cute!
2. Easter Eggs
- I glued the pink egg layer onto the white base using liquid glue.
- Then I added foam tape to the back of the blue egg layer and placed it on top for a dimensional, layered look.
3. Flowers & Letters
- I placed foam tape in the center of each flower and attached them diagonally to the leaves so the greenery peeked through between petals.
- I used foam squares to attach each letter (from “Happy” and “Easter”) onto the yellow flower centers. Don’t forget to glue down your letters centered under the two holes that’s cut out of the flower for the string for your banner!
- Then I glued the yellow centers onto the flowers with liquid glue. You could use foam tape here too for even more dimension!
Putting It All Together
Once all the pieces were ready, I grabbed some khaki-colored twine to string everything together. I left about 6 inches of twine on each end of both banners for tying.
I made two separate banners: one that says Happy and another that says Easter.
For the Happy banner:
- I started with a bunny facing the H.
- Then added each flower with a letter: H, A, P, P, Y
- Finished it with the second bunny facing the Y.
For the Easter banner:
- I started with an Easter egg.
- Added each flower with a letter: E, A, S, T, E, R
- Finished it with another egg at the end.
And that’s it! You now have a super cute Happy Easter Banner ready to hang. And it’s fun to make! Drape it across your mantle, a window, over your kitchen table, along a bar—anywhere you want to add a festive Easter touch.
Let me know if you make this Easter banner—I’d love to see how yours turns out! I know I’ll be using mine to decorate this season.
Thanks for reading and happy crafting! 🐰🌸
