Why I love this craft
Each spring, I usually see Easter bunny head wreath forms at my local Dollar Tree. They are such a unique and fabulous blank canvas that can be decorated in so many different ways.
For this craft, we’re going to embellish our wreath form with blue and white check fabric and nautical jute rope – all from the dollar store!

Nautical Rag Tie Bunny Wreath Craft
Add a nautical farmhouse look to your Easter decor with this nautical rag tie bunny wreath craft!
Materials
- 1 bunny wreath form (DT)
- 3 fat quarters of blue and white check fabric (DT) or other cotton fabric of your choice - cut into strips roughly 5.25 x 1.5-inches
- Fabric scissors and heavy duty craft scissors
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- 3 bundles of nautical jute rope (DT) or 4 bundles if you add the bow in addition to covering the ears
Instructions
- Begin tying the cut strips of fabric onto the the circular part of the wire wreath form. You'll need to apply strips to the inner, middle, and outer rings (however, the middle will not need as many).
- Once you've filled the ring, fluff out the fabric.
- Using the nautical jute rope, secure one end to the bottom of the bunny ear with hot glue, then begin wrapping toward the pointy end. (This rope is thicker so you'll want to apply hot glue throughout the wrapping process.)
- As you get toward the end, hot glue the rows together (on the back) to help the rope keep its form. Repeat for the other bunny ear.
- Optional: add a bow to the bottom left using a cut piece of the nautical jute rope.
***Tip: If your fabric doesn't have two "good" sides, fold the strip in thirds and then tie it to the wreath form. This will help the "good" side show the most.
Be sure to PIN this bunny wreath for later:
