The Most Adorable DIY Easter Banner

Hello Friends!

Have you heard the news? Winter is over and today it's officially spring!

Clearly, this summer loving girl is super excited and to celebrate, I have the most darling DIY.


You see, I've been hippity hopping my way through a bunch of Easter crafts over the past week in anticipation.

The colors and the sweet bunny faces have been making me smile.

So I can't wait to share all that holiday cuteness with you.

It all started a few weeks ago, when I came across these festive Easter transfers and I had to have them.


Aren't they precious?

Anyway, I placed an order and started dreaming about all the things I could make with them...but hesitantly, because as we all know, sometimes when you order online, you get a stinker.

However, I'm happy to report that when these transfers showed up, they were gorgeous and worked so well. A definite win.

While I admit to going a bit crazy with my DIYs - that's your cue to get ready for more! - today I'm only sharing the fabric Easter banner I made.

Now, if you haven't been here very long, you might not know that I'm kind of obsessed with seasonal banners. 

I've made a ton of them for Easter:

• Button Tail Bunny Banner
• Wooden Bunny Banner
• Greeting Card Bunny Banner 
• Yarn Carrot Banner
• Ribbon Carrot Banner

Although, I think this one is my new favorite, but I'll let you be the judge.

Easter Banner DIY With Transfers

I love crafting with transfers. I think it's the easiest way to get a hand painted, custom look without a fancy machine or technical skills.

Ok, so to start, I gathered my supplies:

• Easter Transfers
• Cloth Banner
• Green Twine
• Scissors
• Ruler

Then I opened my banner package, they were a nice size and a nice heavy material. The transfers clung nicely to the fabric and it was heavy enough to lay flat when hung up.

Next, I looked over all my transfers to find the largest designs, and choose which ones I wanted to use for my banner.

Once I was settled on a pattern, I simply cut it out with a pair of scissors.


I peeled away the clear backing.


The peeling was easy once I found the edge to grab. It took me a minute to realize that there was a very slight relief around the edge of each sheet for just that purpose.

And placed the transfer on the banner and pressed down so it would stick.

Then I grabbed my scissors and used the plastic handle to apply pressure, by rubbing it across the top of the plastic, until the transfer released.


I pulled back the plastic and voila...

In less than 2 minutes, I had one piece of my banner complete. 

They were honestly, the easiest transfers I've ever used for crafting.


I repeated this process 4 more times and used a ruler to make sure that I was applying the transfers in a uniform way on each garland pennant.

Now, the garland I ordered came with a natural colored twine, but what fun is that? I mean it's spring, it's time for color, so decided to use a green twine instead.


I just threaded it through the holes and I was done.


I have to say, I adore it. It's such a bright way to decorate for Easter and it honestly took me less than 20 minutes to make it.

The transfers do have a shine to them, they aren't matte, but that doesn't really show in every light and even when it does, I think it just gives the banner a bit of sparkle.


Which is just what I think spring should have...

Sparkle!


Although, I hear Mother Nature plans on giving us a little sparkle of her own, next week, in the form of snow.

Oh well, with all these adorable transfers decorating my cottage, at least it'll still feel like spring inside.
