Who is still looking for small Easter gifts for family and friends? Then this DIY is just right for you!
My son and I had a lot of fun making these. Here you can find the instructions for our funny Easter bunnies.
You need:
- empty cardboard boxes (e.g. from Pelster's)
- colorful photo cardboard,
- colorful chenille wire,
- googly eyes,
- colorful pompoms
- or whatever other crafting materials you have available (stickers, glitter stones...). Because you can be particularly creative with this craft!
Of course, craft glue, tape, scissors and colorful pens are a must.
First, draw the size of the empty can on the photo cardboard and then cut out your can casing. Generously coat the back of the photo cardboard with craft glue, then wrap it around the empty can and press firmly for a minute until the cardboard is fixed.
Now let your creativity run wild. Shape the chenille wire into rabbit ears and attach the ears inside the can with adhesive tape. Alternatively, you can cut the ears out of photo cardboard.
You can then use the googly eyes and pompoms to create the Easter bunny's face. Then it's time to decorate further. You can let off steam here. :)
Last but not least, it's time to fill the Easter bunnies. Here are two ideas:
1. Create a small Easter nest - with Easter grass or decorative grass and Easter treats.
2. Place a small potted plant or artificial plants in the can to give the bunny a hairstyle.
We will choose option one and give the tins as Easter presents, filled with hand-painted eggs.
Have fun crafting and happy Easter, wishes you Anika and family
