Easter Bunting: Tutorial
1. First thing's first - print your templates out. If it isn't possible to print them directly onto card, cut them out, then back them onto card to make them sturdier.
2. Take one of your sheets of card, and glue it onto the back of your wrapping paper using a glue stick.
3. Trace your Easter bunny template onto the card until you have 9 copies.
4. Cut out your bunnies, and count out 9, smallish, pink pompoms in a variety of shades.
5. Apply a small blob of UHU glue just above the legs in the centre of the bunny, and stick the pompom on. Place your bunnies to one side.
6. Use a glue stick to attach your yellow tissue paper onto a new sheet of white card. Trace your egg template 8 times, and cut out.
7. Take your gold glitter pen, and begin making dots at the top of the egg, slowly working your way towards the bottom. Vary the size of blob to give your eggs some pizazz! Set aside to dry.
8. Once your eggs are dry, it's assembly time. Take your brown parcel tape, and, about 10 inches from the end, attach it to back of a bunny, across the join between the head and the body, using sellotape.
9. Measure approx 3 inches between the bunny, and stretch the parcel string across the back centre of an egg, and attach using Sellotape.
10. Repeat this process until you have attached all your bunnies and eggs. Leave another 10 inches of parcel string at the end and cut.
11. Your Easter bunting is now complete!

Hi Jackie! The template is featured in the article body. It's the black outline image. You can copy and paste it into a word doc and then print it out, or print off the page from the website. Hope that helps!
