I love Spring and I love I also love to add to my seasonal decor when I can, so I made this bunny banner to adorn my chalkboard. Please visit our blog for complete step step instructions.

This time I'm kickin' it old school and using my Cricut Expressions machine and the Cricut Sampler cartridge. If you don't have these two items, any bunny pattern will do. There are several bunny patterns on Pinterest. All the supplies needed, I had on hand. Just use what you have.

To recreate my bunny banner, you will need:

White card stock

Blue, Peach, Pink, Green and Purple card stock

One cotton ball

Glue

Hole punch

Scissors

White bias tape or ribbon

6" strands of tiny ribbon in colors matching your card stock

White yarn

Fork

First, using your die cutting machine, cut one bunny with shadow at 4", then two more at 3 1/2", then two more at 3". I cut all of my shadows in white first, then the colored bunnies last, but that's just me! Glue the two pieces together and then add a little bit of the cotton ball for the tail. Lastly, punch a hole in one ear for hanging.

Now for stringing them into a banner. I used some white bias tape and measured out a piece about a yard long. Next cut five smaller pieces to tie the bunnies on to the long piece like you see above. Find the center of your strand and tie on your 4" bunny there. Space the others starting with the 3 1/2" bunnies and then lastly the 3" bunnies according to how you want them to look.

Now for the tassels. I have TONS of ribbon, so I just grabbed some colors matching my bunnies and cut several for each tassel at 6" lengths. Gather them all together and tie one end with another piece of ribbon to hold it all together.

Now tie your tassels and pom-poms on in the middle of each bunny. Space them to your liking, hang and enjoy! My ribbon was long enough I could tie it around my chalkboard and tie into a bow. I think it turned out so sweet!
