Hej friends!
Today we decorated our home cheerfully. A few paper butterflies and cute bunny cupcakes quickly transformed our Easter table into a springtime eye-catcher. These two decoration ideas are quick and easy to make, yet still have a big impact. It’s also great fun to scatter the decorative butterflies everywhere. It took a bit of courage to bite into the bunny cupcakes, though. They’re just too cute.
Further down in the post, I’ll tell you how we made the little bunny cupcakes, but first let’s get to the simplest spring decoration idea in the world..
DIY decorative paper butterflies
If you’re in a hurry to decorate, this cute spring/Easter decoration is perfect. All you need is some pretty paper, a pen, scissors, and tape, and you can scatter these paper butterflies anywhere.
If you’d like, you can also download the free craft template. Simply print it out, cut out the butterflies, and trace them.
1. Cut out the butterflies from colored cardboard.
2. Paint the butterfly body black.
3. Fold the butterflies along the body at the wings on both sides.
4. Attach double-sided tape to the bottom of the butterfly body and stick the paper butterflies anywhere you like.
Decorate a bunny cupcake
You need:
Frosting:
200 g butter
200 g powdered sugar (sifted)
220 g cream cheese
Coconut flakes
Bunny face:
Pink heart-shaped sugar sprinkles for the nose
Black or dark sugar beads for the eyes (chocolate beads work too)
White cake fondant or marzipan for the ears
Red food coloring for the inside of the ears
1. Cut the butter into pieces and place them in a tall container.
2. Sift icing sugar into the container.
3. Beat butter and icing sugar until fluffy.
4. Add cream cheese and mix well.
5. Spread plenty of frosting on the cooled cupcakes and shape into a hemisphere.
6. Place the eyes (black balls) and the nose (pink sugar heart) on the frosting.
7. Sprinkle the frosting generously with coconut flakes. Tap off any excess.
8. Form bunny ears from the fondant or marzipan and paint the inner ear with food coloring using a brush.
9. Stick the ears into the top of the head and the bunny is finished!
I wish you a happy spring awakening and Glad Påsk!
