Easter crafting underway today, starting early thi Easter crafting underway today, starting early this year. How cute is this little bunny bunting! So easy to make, it’s just card, twine and mini pom poms. A great craft to do with kids. I cut the bunnies on my @cricut but you could just as easily cut by hand. All materials were #gifted by @hobbycraft . Lots more makes planned with Easter in mind so watch this space 🐣 Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned x
