Easter Hat Parade!

Today was Milla's preschool Easter Hat Parade and Easter party. We had a note come home from preschool a week ago asking us to make an Easter hat to wear for the parade so off we went to the $2 shop for bits and pieces and created a bunny bonnet!!


We were also asked to bring along a plate of food to share so we made bunny cups of popcorn


The party was lots of fun, Easter decorations, Easter colouring in, Easter music and Easter food galore!


The kids all did a great job showing off their hats in the parade.


Then just as the parade ended a large fluffy (kind of scary looking) bunny hopped into the preschool!!! It was exciting but the one snap I managed to get of Milla with him looks like she is terrified of him - really she just had a mouth full of Easter egg!!



LOTS of fun!

Fabric Scrap Easter Bunny Wreath - DIY

With a rush of blood to the head yesterday I decided to make an Easter decoration for our front door... You all know I love a good wreath :)


So with 2 wire hangers, some duct tape, extra wire I had in my cupboard and a little muscle I twisted, snipped and pulled until I had a cute bunny outline frame. Sorry I have no pics of the process - I was having too much fun!!


Next was the perfect chance to use up some fabric scraps from my sewing room. I picked out a selection of pastel fabrics and some left over Easter egg fabric then went about cutting HEAPS of little strips of fabric about 4-5 inches long and 1 inch wide.


Then it was just a matter of tying all the strips onto the wire bunny frame one at a time, this is time consuming but with my little guy snoozing off a cold and some music playing in the background the time passed faster than I thought it would.
I like the rough fraying edges of the fabric after being handled - kinda a rustic look about it.


One large and pretty bow around his neck to finish it off and I'm pretty pleased with the end result - one cute fluffy looking bunny to greet people at our door over Easter!! Yay!!
