Easter Bunny Fabric Banner DIY

What can be better than celebrating Easter by creating a fun DIY Easter Bunny Banner?  So here I’m with how to create this cute DIY banner for you and your family. Hope you all like it.

 

So the first step as always is to make sure you have all the material you need for to create this banner. Prepare the material so that you don’t have to worry about anything when you are in the middle of doing things.

 

10L

  1. Designer fabric print (of your choice)
  2. Pencil
  3. Pellon iron on backing
  4. Satin ribbon
  5. Rotary cutter or Scissors
  6. Fabric knife
  7. Bunny shape stencil (I couldn’t find one in the market so made my own. It is very easy to make it. If you are good at drawing, draw a bunny shape on a white sheet of paper. The size should be approx 6 x 6 inches. You can also find a bunny shape on internet and print it (if you use a shape from the internet make sure you have the permission to download that artwork).

 

Now we are ready to start with our DIY Easter day banner project-

Use a bunny shaped stencil to trace the leave pattern on the fabric.

You can trace as many designs as you want on the fabric, just remember to do so on the back of the fabric. I drew 4 buntings, you can draw more or less depending on the length of the banner you want to make.

Now you need to add firmness  to each bunting. To add weight and stabilize the bunting you would need to add an “Iron On Backing”. You can get them at Jo-Ann (http://www.joann.com) or Hobby Lobby (http://www.hobbylobby.com/) or your local, favorite craft store. (http://www.joann.com/peltex-1-side-fusible-interfacing-20-w-x-10yds/prd49910/)

 

Put your  bunny shape on top of  Iron on Backing. Use hot iron until fabric is fused with Iron on Backing.

Lay a single pennant on a foam board. Cut two small slits on the fabric with fabric knife or scissors.

Repeat the same for all pennants and then put a satin ribbon through the slits of each.

Easter Decoration Candle DIY Project

Many of  you commented on and appreciated my earlier DIY projects (St. Patrick day candle and Valentine’s day candle, thanks so much for all the comments.) about how to decorate candles in an easy way. With that I’m encouraged to put one more candle decoration project but this time for Easter.

 

Note: This DIY project idea is inspired by  the blog post “Graphic printed candles DIY” which can be found on the wonderful blog called “Crafty, Scrappy, Happy” by Jaime Lyn.

 

For this candle decoration you can use any photo. For example you can use your family photo, baby photo, sticker, cartoon and even a book picture. In this DIY project I have used a bunny picture from a paper napkin. Let’s get started! First we have to get a picture of our choice and then we will laminate the picture on the candle using liquid wax coating. This is a little tricky part and I’ll explain how to do this below. Once this step is done, I promise you that everybody who looks at this candle will ask you about it and about how did you do it? This is an inexpensive way to custom design your candles. I learned this technique long time back from my art teacher. This is a great way to laminate any art work with wax and save it.

 

Let’s get started. You will need a photo, a plain white candle, scissors and hot liquid paraffin wax.

Cut your picture and put it on the white candle.

You can find paraffin wax in your local art store. Make sure that you only use “Paraffin Wax” and don’t try to use just any wax.

 

WARNING: Make sure that you use proper gloves for melting and then handling liquid paraffin wax. Remember to work in a well ventilated area and never heat paraffin wax hotter than 240º F (it will burst into flames).

Now you can use this liquid wax just as any other paint. So get your painting brush and dip it in and paint over the photo on the candle. Try to give a nice coat of wax all over the photo specially around the edges.
