[mc_block_title custom_title=”Make (or buy) bunting and decorate the home!”]
Bunting is a festive way to add some more Easter fun to your home. Older kids can try to make their own – we love this idea which gets that on-trend ombre look using paint colour sample cards. If you aren’t up to making your own you can buy Easter bunting very cheaply and the kids will as much enjoy the installation as they would have the actual making. And, bonus, there’s much, much less mess!
