Make a sweet splash of fresh green color when you put together this simple rustic diy Easter garland. It only takes a few quick minutes to style this darling garland to create an elegant Easter decoration idea you can use to add the fresh look of spring to your home.
Use This Easy DIY Easter Garland For a Window or Mantel
Use a cute garland decorated with Easter bunnies or colorful Easter eggs. Leading up to springtime you can usually find a stringy jute, twine, or ribbon Easter egg garland or Easter bunny garland that you can add and style up even further to create a lovely look for a simple Easter mantel or window.
Here you’ll see that I’ve decorated an old window frame area with this pop of Easter spring color that adds so much fun to the room. You can use any Easter theme garland you like the most whether it comes decked with white flowers, spring flowers, faux eggs, or bunny figurines.
As you can see, I’ve chosen to use a fun garland with cute cloth bunnies! They are made of soft linen-like fabric in nice natural colors. Easy going neutral tones and natural-looking greens create the perfect palette of colors to welcome spring into your home.

It’s also a nice welcome transition when switching out of the holiday and winter decor to the bright and colorful decorations of spring. The Easter season beckons us to decorate with hints cheerful spring greens and florals that will bring freshness and light! This will all come together to create amazing spring decorations that you can even use year after year.
Create the look with two main elements
This easy and super cute bunny carrot garland comes together in minutes with just two main decorative elements to create a natural look: a simple leafy green garland and a string bunny garland. Layering them together is an easy way to create a fuller look that you can use to decorate for spring over a window area or a fireplace mantel.
This is one of my favorite simple Easter decorating ideas because it allows me to bring in the fresh and airy look of green leaves to the room. You can reach for eucalyptus leaves or garlands that have eucalyptus leaves mixed in with the overall look. Eucalyptus has a frosty or ‘silver’ leafy look to it that helps to create a fun and quaint, rustic cottage-like feel. I just love the quiet charm that these leaves add to anything they touch.
Try Leafy Green Eucalyptus Garlands for Versatility
Even around the holidays, this is a great look to use if you’re looking for a leafy green garland to decorate with. I found this frosty-looking mixed green eucalyptus garland in the faux flower section at Hobby Lobby. This is also a perfect place to find all of those cute stringy spring garland decorations dotted with colorful eggs, white bunnies, and flowers in bright colors. Pick the one you like the best and layer it over the leafy green garland.
You can then come in and add more touches to the Easter garland to make it even more festive. I tucked in little bunches of soft green and pink pearls for added hints of texture in pastel colors. Alternatively, you might choose to dot your green bunny garland decorations with flowers in soft colors. These will add the look of fresh spring blooms! You can give your garland the blooming look of fresh tulips, pretty peonies, hyacinths, or little daisies!
Any spring season flower will add a sweet little something extra. Don’t forget to check your local dollar tree stores for beautiful artificial flowers in the seasonal spring section at this time! This is often a great place to check for spring and Easter items when decorating on a budget. You can walk down the seasonal aisle and get inspired with smaller items that can come together to create beautiful Easter mantel decorations (or window decorations!) like we’ve created here.
Measure and then Choose A Green Garland to create your diy easter garland decoration
Before you shop and choose a pretty green garland for your Easter mantel decorations, measure the length of the space. Garlands will come in various lengths. You may need to purchase one, two, or three pieces of garland to extend long enough to cover the space you are decorating. I say more is always better than less because you can always finish your project and then take the extras back or save for a different project later on. If you buy extra pieces of garland, you may choose to lay these over the dining table to create beautiful matching Easter table decor.
Add a second Layer to your green garland with bunnies, eggs, or flowers
To make your beautiful Easter mantel decor pop with festive spring fun, add a second layer of garland! This will be the thin stringy style garland with hanging Easter egg decorations, cute bunnies, or even little carrots! Layer this over the leafy green garland and secure as desired in different areas using the wire branches from the green garland.
Finish by Adding Accents To your Green Garland Easter Bunny Mantel Decor
The last step is to add a little extra spring fling fun to your garland by adding in some decorative accents! These could be sprays of artificial spring flowers, little pastel pip berries, or in my case, little pastel pearls. It could also be little branches with small blooms or even cherry blossoms! Decorating with natural elements definitely keeps the garland looking fresh, soft, neutral, and elegant.
Just tuck these in and all about the garland where you see necessary. They will add a beautiful finishing touch you’ll enjoy whether you choose to use this simple decor as an Easter fireplace mantel or mount it over a sunny window in the house!
