This colorful Easter tree is built around one oversized bunny sign, wide pastel ribbon, plush rabbits, multicolored pom-pom garland and a few whimsical spring accents. The large focal sign fills a substantial portion of the tree, allowing you to use fewer small ornaments.
Reuse first: Use your existing green tree, pastel ornaments, solid purple ribbon, white mesh, greenery and tree basket or collar before purchasing additional decorations.
Suggested purchasing priority: Buy the large bunny sign and plaid ribbon first. The pom-pom garland and plush ornaments are secondary purchases because similar items can often be substituted from an existing Easter collection.
