Carnations are Making a Comeback with This Easter Bunny Garland

Carnations are coming back! The flower that was so staunchly avoided by florists near and far for years, is on its way back in, and we’re loving it this Easter. Carnations serve as fluffy, white bunny tails on this adorable Easter garland perfect for a brunch with lively company.

What we love about this little flower, aside from how pretty it is, is its price point. You can pick up a big bunch of carnations for less than $10, which makes this Easter garland a really affordable way to incorporate flowers into your decor.

  • White watercolor paper (or similar)

  • White carnations

  • Ribbon or decorative string

  • Downloaded bunny silhouette- backside or profile

  • White tape
