Easter isn’t just about chocolate eggs and hot cross buns — it’s also the perfect time to get crafty and bring a little bunny magic into your home. Whether you’re entertaining the kids, decorating for brunch, or just looking for something to make you smile, these creative ways to make Easter bunnies are sure to add a hop to your holiday.
Got an old (but clean!) sock lying around? Perfect! Fill it with rice or cotton stuffing, tie off sections with ribbon or string to create a head and body, then snip the top into two "ears." Draw on a cute face and voilà — an adorable sock bunny to sit on your windowsill or Easter table.
2. Bunny Pancakes – Breakfast gets a cuteness upgrade
Turn your morning flapjacks into fluffy friends. Use one big pancake for the body, a smaller one for the head, and banana slices or whipped cream for paws and a tail. Add some berries for eyes and a strawberry nose. Warning: they’re almost too cute to eat. Almost.
3. Toilet Roll Bunnies – Recycling Just Got Cute
Transform those cardboard toilet rolls into hopping good fun. Paint or cover them in pastel paper, glue on paper ears, googly eyes, and draw a little bunny smile. This is a great project for kids and a lovely way to recycle while you’re at it.
Skewer three marshmallows on a stick (one for the body, one for the head, and one for the tail). Use icing or melted chocolate to add eyes, whiskers, and ears cut from fondant or paper. They’re perfect for Easter baskets or party treats.
5. Pom-Pom Bunnies – Fluffy Friends for All Ages
Grab some yarn and get wrapping! Make two pom-poms (one small, one large), glue them together, and add felt ears, a tiny pom-pom tail, and a sweet face. These little guys make the cutest décor or gifts — plus, you can make them in any colour you like!
