This simple Easter garland is perfect for your spring mantle! Made with burlap, these bunny shapes make the cutest garland with a rustic touch. This is a super simple craft project that anyone can tackle.
This garland is part of my Easter mantle which you can read all about here in case you missed it. I love the shape of the bunnies. But I really wanted a rustic touch. You probably have all of the supplies you need to make your own version on hand.
How to Make an Easter Garland
Supplies needed for a peeps bunny garland:
- Bunny shape
- Burlap
- Fabric
- Mod Podge
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Twine
- Clothespins
- Empty picture frame or mantle for hanging the garland
Find a bunny shaped pattern or stencil to trace. The pattern I used came from Petite Debutant.
Then, cut 5 of the bunnies from burlap. Nothing is worse than fraying burlap, so I painted the edges with Mod Podge. Set these aside to dry.
Next, trace and cut 5 more bunnies of the same size from the fabric.
I wanted a spring material on top of the burlap. So I went hunting in my fabric stash. I came up with a shirt. Yes a shirt! I no longer liked the shirt itself but the pinstriped pink fabric I loved. So I kept the shirt in my scraps bin. I cut 5 bunnies from the shirt as well. Try digging in your scrap bin for fabric for this craft. You might be surprised at what you find!
I just used hot glue to put the pink bunnies on the burlap. You can sew them if you feel like it. I was in the mood for a quick and easy craft though. Allow everything to dry before hanging.
I then just added twine to my frame and hung the bunnies using rustic clothespins. So super simple!
And so super cute! I love the rustic touch while still being all pink and spring inspired.
This rustic peeps bunny garland will last for years and look amazing anywhere in your home.

Ok. I will probally be lynched but I will go ahead and say it. “I HATE PEEPS!”. I just can’t stand the way these little things taste. But I will admit I do love how they look. And yours are they first ones I’ve seen that I actually will make! Great job.
