Spring has sprung – 5 creative bloggers and Pottery Barn sharing 30 projects all week long!
I’m not putting my eggs in one basket.
In fact, I’m taking them out of the basket and stringing them from my mantel.
Peter Cottontail makes an appearance.
You know those bunnies multiply like, well, bunnies.
DIY Egg Garland
1) Buy cheap plastic eggs (the kind with the holes in both the top and bottom – try the dollar store)
2) Thread ribbon, fishing line or yarn through the bottom of the first egg making sure to leave some to tie into a pretty bow at the end
3) Thread ribbon through top half of egg then attach the egg
4) Repeat, repeat, repeat until you have the length you want
5) Hang it from your mantel, doorway or anywhere else that needs a little spring cheer
(I used 50 eggs for my garland)

I love how fun this is! The chalkboard rabbit is perfect.
PS my daughter saw this, and she wants to know “why can’t you make our house fun like that?” She is a big fan of your Easter egg garland – she has good taste
Love it Kelly, so cute! I will hit a home run with my boys with this:). Thanks for the awesome ideas!!!
It’s so retro–I love it! I always loved those plastic eggs when I was little… this brings back great memories! The Chalk Bunny is just adorale too
So sweet and fun! Your mantel has me in the mood for spring! “Hopping” off to go visit the other gals, can’t wait to see what amazing projects you’ll be sharing this week!

This is so pretty — love the way you also put the eggs in the big glass containers and the chalkboard drawing of the rabbit!
So colorful and fun!
You are so putting me in the Easter mood, and I didn’t even think I was ready!
So cute Kelly! What is it about bunnies that just bring out the kid in all of us.You reminded me to bring my decorations out of the attic. And…sweep away a few of the “dust” ones on the back porch!
This is very cute and I bet the kids would love it ! So cheery! You are so clever wspwecially with the big glass containers and the cool chalkboard!
“especially”, please excuse my typos! Those fabric covered rabbits are pretty nifty too!
So fun Kelly … Not sure I am ready for Easter decoration, but sure ready for Spring. I have to confess, I did put a couple bunnies; a basket with flowers and some eggs on my table just to take a picture of the table cloth. Well, maybe, I AM ready for Easter after all. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love this more than I can say!!!! Sometimes spring decor is so pastel – which is pretty and all – but that vibrant color here just makes me happy
Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to see what is baking.
xo,

I love all the pops of easter color! What fun!
This is such a cute idea! Love it!
Don’t know how I missed this one but it is sooo cute! Did you make the decoupaged bunnies too? they are so cute as well. This reminds me, I have to get all my bunnies out of my boxes, I’m dying to leve winter behind already! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is fantastic Kelly! My boys would LOVE this! Way to go!
I love this! It is absolutely adorable! What a great idea!
I LOVE your Spring Mantel, Kelly. The egg garland reminds me of jelly beans – it’s so color and “spring-y” Just beautiful!
Your egg garland just makes me smile and brings out the kid in me!
That garland is a cute idea. Cute mantel and I bet your girls love it.
That is just darling Kelly! It looks yummy and so happy.
You are just a Spring Basket full of creativity! Please come visit me at anytime and feel free to craft and decorate my home to your eclectically vintage’s heart content. It would look better than random cans of paint and half finished projects in every room!
What a happy mantle! LOVE the bunny on the chalkboard! I guess it is time to start thinking about Easter?! Life to the full, Melissa
omg this is sooo cute! I love this look. The chalkboard bunny is adorable too!

What a cute idea for those plastic eggs I am sure we all have a ton of. I like them in the glass vases, I may have to borrow that idea. Thanks.
