Easter Garland

As I was browsing blogs today, I came across adorable Easter garland, and decided to try my own. I purchased two different types of scrapbook paper. Hobby Lobby has theirs 3 sheets for $1.00 this week. You'll also need shapes to trace. In this case, I used 3 different spring/Easter cookie cutters.
Trace the shapes onto the back of the paper.
Cut out the shapes.
Arrange the shapes into a pattern. I did bunny, egg, flower.
Next, find a coordinating ribbon and grab a hole punch.
Punch holes into each side of the shapes, and cut the ribbon.
Tie the pieces together with ribbon.

Hang.
The project took all of 15 minutes. I should have made it longer, but I'm out of off-white ribbon. To prevent the ribbon from fraying, you can heat seal with a lighter.
