DIY Flower Easter Bonnet

My DIY Flower Easter Bonnet!

The homemade bonnets that parade down 5th Avenue each year on Easter Sunday always brighten my day.  I have worn vintage bonnets every year, but this is the first Easter that I made my own.  This is a quick tutorial for the fun flower bonnet that I will don at the parade today!  

Celebrate the color, the bunnies, the bonnets, and the springtime fun that Easter brings!

Enjoy,
