Hi, friends! Even though Easter is really less thanΒ 2 weeks away, I’m just now doing a little Easter craft. I don’t normally do any decorating for Easter, but I wanted a cute little banner that I could hang up over my fireplace. This little banner is seriously SO quick, and super easy! I whipped it out while Jade napped. A win in my book!
Materials for Easter Banner:
- Foam Easter eggs (I found this pack at the Dollar Store!)
- Scrapbook paper
- Fishing line/thread
- Letter stencils
- Scissors
- Needle (not pictured)
- Sharpie (not pictured)
- Tape (not pictured)
While I was perusing around the Dollar Store last week trying to find bins so I could organize my linen closet, I came across these adorable little glitter Easter eggs. I knew I needed to do somethingΒ with them, so I brought them home with me. They were so perfect for this little banner!
First, I chose some pretty scrapbook paper and cut out a banner shape. I didn’t do any fancy measuring, I just used my letter stencil size as a guide for how big I wanted each banner, and used a ruler to draw the straight lines. I used my first banner as a “stencil” to trace on the other 5 I needed.
I then used my letter stencils to stencil the letters for “Easter” on each banner. I just held the stencil down really tight so it wouldn’t move and used my Sharpie to draw the letters.
If you have beautiful writing unlike myself, you could easily just freehand some pretty letters on, too!
To add the foam Easter eggs, I started by threading and tying some fishing wire onto my needle.
I then just “threaded” on the foam eggs.Β
IΒ threaded on 6 eggs to start, and then added my “E” letter banner. You could easily use clothespins to attach the banners to the fishing wire, but I didn’t have any small ones on hand so I just flipped the banner over and taped on the fishing line at the top.
I continued on with each letter banner, threading on 6 eggs, then taping the next letter on.
Super easy, right? I just used a little gold washi tape to hang it up over my fireplace!
It’s the perfect simple Easter decoration that cost me $1, since I had everything but the foam eggs! I dig cheap decor. π
Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
