What is an Easter Bonnet?
An Easter bonnet is a decorative hat worn to celebrate Easter, often adorned with spring-themed decorations like flowers, bunnies, eggs, and chicks. Traditionally, worn in church on Easter Sunday as a symbol of renewal, but today, they’ve become a fun and creative way to celebrate, especially in Easter bonnet competitions and parades. Whether you’re looking for DIY Easter bonnet ideas for a competition or something funny and exceptional, there’s plenty of room for creativity.
