What You’ll Need

• Felt sheets in a range of colours – we prefer wool-blend felt for it’s durability but you can use any type. 10 x 10cm (4 x 4”) piece per shape.
• Our Easter Add-on Pattern – for the bunny and egg shapes. Get yours HERE
• Ribbon or string - for hanging the bunting. We used 2m (6 ½ feet) of 3mm (1/8”) wide ribbon, but it will be easier to attach the felt shapes to the bunting if you use a slightly wider ribbon.
• Fabric scissors or rotary cutter.
• Fabric glue or sewing machine - for assembling.
• Pins or clips - to hold the felt pieces in place.
• Decorative elements - OPTIONAL – to use as embellishments (scraps of ribbon/fabric, fabric paint, embroidery thread/needle etc.)

Step 1: Prepare Your Shapes

• Print & Cut – Download and print the Easter wand add-on pattern and cut out the bunny and/or egg shapes from the pattern.
• Trace Onto Felt – Place the shapes on the felt and pin/trace the designs with a fabric marker. We used 10 shapes: 8 bunnies and 2 eggs.
• Cut the Shapes – Carefully cut out a number of bunny and/or egg pieces in different colours to create the bunting.

Step 2: Add Embellishments to the felt shapes - OPTIONAL

• For a simple look – Keep the felt shapes plain for a minimalist style.
• For extra detail – Add ribbon/fabric scraps, embroidery stitches, fabric paint, or decorative machine stitching to personalize each piece. We used the letter templates found in our free personalised crown template and video tutorial you can get  HERE.
• Layering option – Use two layers of felt per shape and stitch around the edges for a thicker, more durable design.

Step 3: Assemble Your Bunting

• Arrange Your Shapes – Lay out your cut felt pieces in the order you’d like them on the bunting.
• Pin/Clip to Ribbon – Fold your ribbon in half to mark the centre. Starting at the centre of your bunting pin/clip each shape to the ribbon. Make sure each shape is evenly spaced along the ribbon – we used 5cm (2”) between each shape.
• Attach Shapes to Ribbon: Either:
1. Sew the shapes onto the ribbon with a straight stitch.
2. Use fabric glue for a no-sew option, pressing firmly to secure.

Step 4: Finishing Off

• Trim any excess ribbon and tie small loops at the ends for easy hanging.
• Hang your Easter bunting across a mantel, wall, doorway, or along a party table.
• Store it carefully after Easter so you can use it again next year!
