Who can resist an Easter bunny? This spring mantel decor began with two Easter bunnies we’ve had for several years. I picked the Easter bunnies up at Hobby Lobby.
The two green arches are an interesting background for the bunny wreath I picked up at Michael’s.
Next, I add two DIY Easter Egg Topiaries. You can find the step-by-step directions for making these topiaries here. ►Easter Egg Topiaries.

Add Smaller Decorative Items
A metal Easter greetings postcard and a moss-covered bunny sit in front of the background decorative items. Repeating the pink color of the eggs, I add two clear bottle vases.
At this point, I am pretty happy with the display. Adding the cube photo holders with vintage Easter pictures seems perfect. You can find the directions for the Decoupaged cube wire photo holder ◄ here.
Pink Flowers on My Mind
In my head, I can see soft pink peonies and roses tucked in here and there to complete the mantel display. Where are they? I went through numerous bins to find them, to no avail. I slept on it.
The next day, I mentally went back through each of the bins. As I stood there looking around the room, I spot a clear bag full of flowers and there the pink flowers are in plain sight! Lol! At least I finally found them.
Next, I draped wispy greenery across the mantel, behind, and around the topiaries and bunnies.
As I was finishing up tucking the pink peonies and roses here and there, my granddaughter, Sophie, said, “You need to know when to stop.”
I remember giving her this advice before when she was drawing. It’s good advice. There are still a few pink flowers in the bag.
Final Touches
Pretty happy with the composition, but the bunny pictures seem to need a background mat, don’t they? I went through the cardstock stash and found this soft green cardstock. It seems the perfect border. Cut to size and glued with just a glue stick, it sets off the bunny print perfectly. It’s a little detail but it makes a difference.

Beautiful. Where did you purchase the happy Easter banner?
Hi Debra!
Thank you! The banner is from JOANN Fabric & Craft Store, but I bought it last year. Unfortunately, I don’t believe they have them this year. Thanks for visiting!
