What's better than a quick and easy Easter DIY? How about a quick and easy Easter DIY that comes with a FREE print? When you see how high-end this budget-friendly piece of decor looks, you are going to want to make it ASAP.
All you need is a dollar store clip board, some small fake flowers, and a bit of ribbon. I used adorable paper flowers I found at Dollarama, but you can use whatever you like.
Then, grab your hot glue gun, and (starting at the top), glue the flowers to the metal clip until the entire clip is covered.
You can leave it "as is", or you can use a bit of hot glue to add some ribbon to the bottom of the clipboard. I like the contrast between the light pink flowers and the black and white checkered ribbon... but you can create whatever suits your taste and decor.
To finish, just add the Easter print I designed.
To download the print (for FREE):click on the picture below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 8x10 photo.
Doesn't it look cute with the DIY frame?
And... if you don't want to make the clipboard frame, you can just pop it in a regular frame.
For a closer look at how I made the quick and easy Easter DIY artwork, check out the short (2 minute) video below.
I am absolutely obsessed with this little clipboard. I think it would be darling hanging on a wall too. I might add a little wooden bead hanger to mine. What do you think?
Who doesn't love a festive (and inexpensive) piece of home decor for the holiday? I am currently obsessed with some of the cute Easter crafting supplies available at the dollar store. The little carrots and plastic bunnies are my current favourites. Today, I am sharing an adorable little Easter picture I made for just a few dollars.
To make the picture I made, you'll need: twine, scrapbook paper, alphabet stickers, tiny clothespins, carrot, plastic bunnies, and a cheap frame. Most of these items items came from the dollar store, but some of them came from my crafting stash. If you can't find the exact items, don't worry, you can use my picture as inspiration, and put your own spin at it. There are no rules when it comes to crafting! 😄
Start by inserting the scrapbook paper into the frame. I put mine on top of the glass so I could repurpose the frame at some point in the future.
Then, split the bunny (plastic chocolate egg) into two pieces, and attach to the paper with hot glue.
Use stickers to spell out "Happy Easter". (If you have a Cricut, you can use that instead, but I liked these colourful stickers that I found for $1.99.)
Finish by stringing twine across the top of the frame and attaching foam carrots with tiny clothespins.
Isn't it adorable? I love how it adds a bit of fun and whimsey to my Easter decor... and it was soooo cheap!
I hope I've inspired you to DIY something this holiday season. Feel free to switch up the colours and embellishments. Have fun with it!
I love creating easy and fun pieces of holiday decor, and I'm getting lots of inspriation from my local dollar store this year. I've found tons of adorable EASTER items recently, but I was particularly drawn to a couple of adorable burlap bunny gift bags. I immediately thought they'd make cute Easter pillows, and today I'm sharing the "no sew" instructions. You won't believe how EASY, INEXPENSIVE and FUN these DIY Easter pillows are to make!
I started out with these two burlap gift bags.
Then:
1) I used a seam ripper to separate the front and back of the bags from the sides. I cut off the handles to use.
2) On the back of the ears, I used hot glue to attached zip ties.
Or.. you could use popsicle sticks. You just need something to give the ears a little bit of structure.
3) Cover up the zip tie with a piece of the burlap handle and a bit of hot glue.
4) Use hot glue to attach the front and back pieces of the bags together... leaving an opening at the bottom for stuffing. Stuff the pillow, and use hot glue to seal the bottom together.
Pro-tip: Use the stuffing out of a dollar store pillow. It's great quality... and a lot cheaper!
Cute, right!?!
I made a pink one and a blue one, and they both look awesome on my couch. And, of course, I love that they only cost me a few dollars.

I am so excited to share this adorable Easter craft with you today. This bunny ear wreath is made from dollar store supplies, and it could not be easier to make. If you can wrap yarn around a wire wreath frame, you can create this super-cute yarn wrapped bunny ear wreath.
To make this wreath, you'll need: bunny ears, a wreath frame, zip ties, and yarn (I used just over 1 1/2 balls of yarn on a 14" frame). Optional... a pom pom for a tail and felt to make feet.
Then:
1) Use zip ties to attach the bunny ears to the top of the wire wreath form.
2) Tie one end of the yarn to the wreath form, and wrap the yarn around the wreath until the wire is completely covered. When it's completely covered, secure the end of the yarn with a couple of knots.
3) You can leave the wreath plain... or you can use hot glue to add a pom pom to the bottom and a couple of feet (made from felt) to the front. I added a pom pom and feet to mine, and I'm in love with how it turned out!
What do you think? Cute, right?!?

DIY decor is the best because it is budget-friendly, fun to make, and easy to customize. I hope I've inspired you to make a wreath of your own. Happy Easter!
