Easter Shop: Frilly Tissue Festooning Garland + Bunny Nest Craft Instructions

Frilly Tissue Festooning

Old-Time Tissue Paper Garlands for Crafts and Decorating
25' per roll ~ Made in the U.S.A.

Still manufactured in America of high quality, vibrantly-colored tissue paper,
this festooning has added accents of crystal-clear cellophane frills to impart a
subtle sparkle. A fun trim you can use as a decorative "grassy" accent all year
round, we used this frilly festooning to make our cute Easter bunny nests!

Blümchen's easy-to-follow crafting instructions
to make a nest of your own are shown below!

Make an Easter Bunny Nest

A pretty way to present Easter candies and gifts, you can
create this charming Easter nest in just 4 steps!

1) The nest is made out of two cardboard pieces: a round base
and one long side strip. Cut a circle which measures 6" across,
and a side strip that measures 20" long by 2" high. We used 6-ply
cardboard stock that's made with a green color on both sides so
the finished bunny nest will have a neater, more finished look.

2) Glue the side strip onto the round base. Hot glue is a fast and easy way to assemble the
cardboard nest, and if your gluing technique isn't that neat, don't worry, because the interior
connection will be covered by the festooning trim. If you have difficulty curving the side strip
around the base when gluing, just add small pieces of tape to hold the side onto the base.

3) Cut one 58" length of festooning for the
outside of the nest. Fold the first 19" of trim
in half lengthwise, so that when you glue it
around the top rim of the nest, half of the
festooning will show on the outside and the
other half will be on the inside edge. Keep
gluing around the outside downwards so
that the trim ends at the bottom of the nest.

4) To trim the inside of the bunny nest, you
will need a piece of festooning trim that is 37"
long. Starting on the top rim of the nest, begin
gluing the festooning down into the inside of
the nest, positioning the trim so that it circles
towards the bottom of the nest. Make sure to
cover any glue or tape that might show along
the seam at the bottom of the nest.

One roll of festooning will make
three Easter bunny nests

Your completed bunny nest can be trimmed with additional embellishments such
as bows, butterflies and flowers to create an extra-special Easter decoration.
