How to make beaded bunny wreath

Materials and Tools You’ll Need:

• 2 Beaded Wreaths: These form the base of your bunny wreath, one for the body and one for the head.
• Floral Wire: Flexible and sturdy, this will help shape the bunny’s ears.
• Coral Dahlia Flowers: A vibrant flower choice to add a pop of color.
• Eucalyptus or Boxwood Florals: These greens provide texture and a natural finish.

Equipment:

• Wire Cutters: Essential for shaping and trimming the floral wire.
• Hot Glue Gun: The magic tool that holds everything together securely.

Instructions:

Preparation:

1. Clear a flat workspace and gather all your supplies.
2. Plug in your hot glue gun and let it heat up while you prep the materials.

Crafting:

1. Start by bending back the wire that closes one of the beaded wreaths. This will allow you to slide the beads off easily.
2. Bend your floral wire into two bunny ear shapes, making them as large or small as you like. Use the entire piece of floral wire for sturdier ears.
3. Wrap one end of the floral wire securely around the second beaded wreath (the “head”) to attach the ear. String beads onto the wire until it forms a full ear shape. Repeat for the second ear. Use the remaining wire to secure the ears to the wreath frame. For extra security, add a dab of hot glue at the base.
4. Trim a few sprigs of boxwood and a Dahlia flower using wire cutters. Optionally, use Dahlia leaves for added greenery.
5. Hot glue the florals onto the wreath form, arranging them to your liking. Add a piece of string at the top for easy hanging.

Tips:

1. Secure the Ears: If you’re worried about the ears wiggling, wrap the ends with wire and reinforce with hot glue for extra strength.
2. Play with Colors: Swap out coral Dahlias for pastel flowers or even faux lavender to match your décor.
3. Use Faux Greenery Wisely: Opt for high-quality faux greenery to ensure your wreath looks fresh year after year.

Craft Variations:

1. Pastel Bunny Wreath: Use pastel-colored beads for a softer, spring-inspired look.
2. Rustic Charm Wreath: Swap beads for burlap ribbon and add wooden bunny accents.
3. Floral Explosion Wreath: Cover the entire wreath with mixed seasonal florals for a vibrant appearance.
4. Minimalist Bunny Wreath: Stick to neutral tones with simple greenery and white beads for a modern touch.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of wreath base?

Yes! You can use grapevine or foam wreath bases if you don’t have beaded wreaths.

How do I secure beads if I don’t have floral wire?

Use fishing line or a thin ribbon instead for a secure and seamless look.

Can I make this wreath kid-friendly?

Absolutely! Skip the hot glue gun and use craft-safe adhesives or enlist adult supervision.

How do I store the wreath after Easter?

Wrap it in tissue paper and store it in a cool, dry place to keep it looking great.
