Funny Easter Bunny

This Bunny is made with the same Euro paver that the snowman is made with. When I saw the snowman I thought I would try to see how I can turn it into an Easter Bunny. It didn't take long to see how easy it would be. If you liked making the snowman you will also like this project. The brick and be found at most home improvement centers or garden center. All of the other supplies can be found at a craft store, such as Hobby Lobby, Micheal's or your local craft shop.

Supply List

1 Euro Paver brick

White craft paint

White fun foam

Pink fun foam

3 cotton balls 

1 pink pom pom- (smaller than the size of a cotton ball)

1 White Chenille pipe cleaner

Ribbon- Easter or Pastel

Piece of paper- for a pattern

Foam Paint brush

Tacky Glue

First cover your work area with newspaper or an old vinyl table cloth. 

1.Paint the entire brick white and let it dry. You have to paint it two to three times. It just depends on how much the paint soaks into the brick. The nice thing is that craft paint dries quickly and each coat can be done one after another.

2.  Using a piece of paper you will need to make a pattern for the ears. One larger ear and one smaller ear. 

3. The large ear will be cut out of the White fun foam. Cut two white ears.

4. The small ear will be cut out of the Pink fun  Foam. Cut two pink ears.

5. Place the pink ear on top of the white ear and glue together. Be sure to line the bottoms together and center the pink ear in the middle of the white ear.

6. Glue each ear to the back of the brick. Once they are glued on it is easiest to lay the brick on it's back. This will help keep the ears in place while you finish the bunny.

7. Glue on the 2 googly eyes.

8. Cut the white chenille pipe cleaner into 6 pieces. Each piece should be about 1 inches long.

9. Place the 6 chenille pieces where the nose will be. Place 3 on each side to make them look like whiskers. 

10. Glue the pink pom pom on top of the "whiskers" for a nose.

11. Take 2 of the cotton balls and glue them at the bottom of the brick, but on the front. These will be the bunny's feet.

12. Cut a piece of the left over fun foam the size of the bottom base of the brick. Glue this to the bottom. This will keep the brick from scratching any surfaces.

13. Carefully stand up the bunny and glue the last cotton ball on the back of the bunny, at the bottom, for a tail.

14. Wrap the ribbon around the neck and tie a bow or a square knot.

You now have a "Funny Easter Bunny". Enjoy!!

Wash Cloth Easter Bunnies

These bunnies are easy and so much fun. Using an inexpensive, regular facial size wash cloth, the kids can make bunny after bunny to decorate the house and baskets. You can buy the plain white wash cloths but don't be afraid to pick up some of the pastel colors, they look great as Easter bunnies. Make sure you have the thinner, less expensive cloth's like the bundle you can buy for around $4 at WalMart. If the wash cloth is too thick they are a little harder to make look right.

Supply List

Facial size wash cloths, white or pastel

1 cotton ball

2 small googly eyes

1 tiny pink pom pom

Thin Ribbon- Spring Color

Rubber band

Tacky Glue

Lay the wash cloth flat on the table and smooth out.Starting at a corner, tightly roll the wash cloth towards the center and then stop.

Then take the opposite corner and roll to the center.

Take one end and fold in half over to the other end.

Now take the ends and fold in half back towards the fold.

Using the rubber band, wrap tightly around the last fold, to form a head. Two ears should then appear.

Glue the cotton ball onto the back of the bunny.

Glue the 2 googly eyes on the face and the small pink pom pom for the nose.

Tie the thin ribbon around the neck in a bow (to cover the rubber band).

Once you make one bunny you will want to make many more.
Happy Easter!!
