Easy Grapevine Easter Bunny Wreath

For as long as I can remember, the post Christmas winter season has always given me an overwhelming urge to purge.

And this winter has been no different. I honestly can’t help it.

Maybe it’s the cold and snow making me feel claustrophobic because I’m stuck inside with all my stuff.

Maybe it’s just the natural cycle of things. For new things to come in, old things have to go out. And I do love finding new things, thrifted and otherwise, to create and decorate with.

Or maybe it’s just that I get bored of keeping things that I haven’t used, and I realize it’s time for them to be donated so someone else can actually use them.

Whatever the reason, or reasons, purging my craft room is what I’ve been busy doing for the last several months. And the funny thing is I enjoy it. I enjoy getting rid of stuff, and reorganizing what gets to stay.

And it’s not just unused supplies or thrifted finds. I’ve also been donating past wreath projects so that I can create new ones. I only have so many places to hang things, and the actual creating is most of the fun anyway.

Which brings me to the project I’m sharing today. An easy grapevine Easter Bunny wreath that’s a lot of fun, and pretty much can be customized to any decor.

Easy Grapevine Easter Bunny Wreath

I was walking around the dollar store last week, looking for different sized grapevine wreaths that I could make into an Easter Bunny.

Well I didn’t find those, but I did find a grapevine wreath already formed like an Easter Bunny.

Jackpot! And for only $5 I thought it was well worth it.

Especially because I’m using some bits and pieces of thrifted florals from my stash to dress it up, making it very inexpensive.

I really wanted to give my Easter Bunny a backing and after looking through my thrifted fabric and scarf stashes, I decided on this bright green $1 knitted scarf. It just sings spring to me.


Supplies needed for this Easter Bunny wreath project

  • Grapevine Easter Bunny wreath
  • misc florals
  • scarf or fabric for backing
  • hot glue gun and sticks
  • scissors

Adding the backing to Easter Bunny Wreath

This scarf was knitted in the round so I folded it beneath the wreath to get a sense of how I wanted it to look.

And then I started gluing with my hot glue gun. I did it bit by bit by holding up the wreath slightly; adding glue onto the scarf; and then pressing down on the wreath.

Then I turned the form over and glued the second layer of the scarf onto the first layer; cutting around the wreath form as I went.

Here you can see how it looks lying down. I did the two body sections with one piece of the scarf.

And then I did the ears separately, but using the same process.

I really like the texture and color of the scarf.

Adding flowers to Easter Bunny Wreath

I forgot to take a pic of the process of adding the flowers to the body sections of the Easter Bunny, so here you can see what I did with the ears. I tucked the ends of some faux vine-like white flowers into the grapevine wreath, and then glued them in place as a base.

And then I added the main flowers; just winging it as I went. There’s no right or wrong here. It’s just about doing what looks good to you.

Want more of the grapevine wreath to show through? Then add fewer flowers. It’s really just a personal choice. Flowers make me happy, and you can still see the wreath peeking through them here and there.

I’m super happy with how she turned out, and here she is on my front door. I decided against a bow, because bows aren’t really my thing. But if you’re a bow lover, then go for it.

This was such an easy and fun project, and it only cost somewhere between six and sever dollars. It’s a great project to use up bits and pieces of this and that.

I hope this project has inspired you. There are so many different looks that could be achieved with this Easter Bunny wreath. The possibilities are virtually endless.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would pin this project to your favorite Pinterest board, and also share it with your friends.

  1. That’s so cute, I love the scarf for backing! Have you tried selling your wreaths in your etsy shop?

    1. Thanks Tania! I have thought about selling them on etsy, but the shipping cost would just be too much for the larger ones. I might try selling smaller ones in the future. We’ll see.

  2. Your bunny turned out beautiful. I agree no bow needed. It’s so spring and cheerful looking. Love the ideas you share.
