How to Make an Easter Bonnet on a Budget

Yes, we know it’s not quite Easter yet, but it pays to be prepared with Create and Craft and Crafters Companion voucher codes. Making an Easter bonnet is a spring time tradition, but if you’re a bit fed up with the same old efforts, perhaps this year is the time to get creative with The Works. Here are a few ideas to help you on your way…

Keeping it Simple when Making an Easter Bonnet

Maybe it’s your first year of Easter bonneting and you’re a bit scared of going overboard. If so, our Create and Craft voucher codes might help. There’s nothing that says ‘Easter’ more than a pair of bunny ears. The most straightforward way to achieve these is by using an Alice band, then make the ears using coloured card. Attach them to the Alice band using PVA glue or sticky tape and you’re sorted. Alternatively, you can use a strip of card to make a crown and staple the ears the either side. Our Create and Craft voucher codes are a great source for online papercraft discounts, so have a browse until you’ve found the materials you need.

Another quick and easy method involves using a paper plate. Cut a spiral through it, gently pull apart and decorate the layers with all your favourite Easter adornments - you can use our The Works voucher code to save on your decorations. Attach some elastic to either side so it will fit snuggly on your little person’s head – result!

The Traditional Bonnet

First off, source a hat that will withstand a decent amount of PVA glue – give Hobbycraft or The Works a whirl, or try online party shops and they should have plastic bowler hats galore. Next, choose your Easter paraphernalia  - our The Works voucher code gets you a particularly great deal at the moment – not only do they have a fantastic Easter Craft Shop but until at least 23^rd March, using this The Works voucher code, you get an additional 20% off. Once you’re fully stocked, let your kids go wild with Easter inspiration – chicks, eggs, flowers, butterflies, cleverly-fashioned pipe cleaners – you name it, their Easter bonnet can take it! For any extra craft supplies.

Perhaps you don’t want to stop at Easter bonnets. My Favourite Voucher Codes and their merchants could help you create your own Easter cards and make your very own chocolate Easter eggs. Our money saving app can get you easier access to all our great discount codes, so download it onto your toolbar today. We even have an Easter Deals category which is filled every year with the best deals
