I will show you how to incorporate three of my favorite things—Rainbows, Jelly Beans and Bunnies—into one super cute DIY Rainbow Jelly Bean Wreath! This colorful DIY wreath will add a pop of color to your Easter party decorations or as a fun wreath to hang on your kid’s bedroom door. I have this one hanging on my daughter Riley’s room and she loves it!
Wrap your wreath tightly with gold ribbon or Light Gold Glitter Tulle to give it a shimmery finish. Secure the ends of the tulle or ribbon with hot glue.
Separate all four packs of Jelly Bean Beads by color into 6 small containers. There are 6 colors included in each pack of jelly bean beads.
(Note: Jelly Bean Beads not available? Create a similar look with these Easter Egg Beads!)
Once they are all separated, place in the order of the rainbow. Starting with the color on the left (pink), begin to string one of each color bead onto White Round Stretchy Cording so that you make a repeating rainbow pattern of jelly beans. Don’t cut the cording until you have finished stringing all of your Jelly Beans Beads.
Hot glue one end of your jelly bean strand to the wreath to keep it in place. Begin to wrap the strand around the wreath, keeping each row of jelly beans close together. When you get to the end, hot glue the final jelly bean at the end of the strand to the wreath.
Add the finishing touch to your wreath by attaching a small plush bunny to the wreath. Before attaching it, use the hot pink ribbon from the Red/Pink Ribbon Assortment and tie bows around each of the bunny’s ears and neck.
Place a line of Self-Adhesive Rhinestone Jewels around the middle of a Metallic Golden Easter Egg.
Place hot glue on the bottom of the egg and attach it to the bunny’s lap. Be sure to hold the egg on to the bunny firmly until the glue dries.
Attach the bunny to the bottom of the wreath with lots of hot glue and hold the bunny in place until the glue dries.
Using Gold Baker’s Twine, wrap it around the top of the wreath and tie it to create a loop that you can now use to hang your wreath.
You’re all done! Now it’s ready to hang.
You Can Make This Wreath 3 Ways! This wreath project is versatile enough to do it 3 ways! You can make it just as I show it here. You can also make it just as a rainbow and gold wreath by simply not attaching the bunny or you could wrap the entire wreath in rainbow jelly beans. Note that if you want to cover the entire wreath in jelly beans, you will need 9 packs of Jelly Bean Beads and an additional spool of cording.
