DIY Yarn Bunny

To make a light pink yarn bunny with a white tail and a ribbon on its ear, you'll need light pink and white yarn, a crochet hook (3.5mm), stuffing, a needle, and a small ribbon.

Start by crocheting the body and head, then make two long ears. Create a small white pom-pom for the tail.

Assemble the bunny by sewing the parts together, then tie a ribbon around one ear.

The project should take about 3–4 hours, depending on your experience. This cute bunny will make a charming kitchen decoration!

DIY Wooden Bunny Door Hanger

To make a wooden bunny door hanger, I started with a wooden bunny cut-out, which I found at a craft store.

First, I painted the entire bunny white using acrylic paint. Once the white paint was dry, I used pink and purple to paint delicate flowers across the bunny’s body.

For the finishing touch, I tied a pink and purple ribbon around the bunny’s neck in a cute bow, securing it with a hot glue gun.

If I want the paint to last longer, I’ll spray it with a clear acrylic sealant.

The whole project took me about 2 to 3 hours, including drying time, and it turned out super cute!

DIY Yarn Egg Centerpiece

For my yarn egg centerpiece, I decided to get creative by using an inverted ice cream cup as the base.

I wrapped pink yarn around a foam egg to create a large, soft yarn-covered egg.

Once the egg was covered, I added delicate pink flowers around the side to give it a more vibrant, festive look.

To tie everything together, I used a green ribbon, which I wrapped around the base of the egg and secured it with a bow.

The entire project was fun and easy, taking me about 1 to 2 hours to complete, and it makes a beautiful, unique centerpiece!

Easter Candle holder decoration

For my Easter candle holder decoration, I wanted to give it a rustic farmhouse vibe, so I started by decorating the sides of the candle holder with small wooden bunnies.

I glued them around the holder, making sure to space them out evenly. Then, for the base, I added a bed of green artificial grass to create a natural look.

I finished it off by placing colorful plastic Easter eggs (which I found at the dollar store) around the grass, adding a fun, festive touch.

The whole project cost me around $10–$15, as most of the items came from the dollar store, and it took me about an hour to put everything together. It turned out to be the perfect touch for my Easter décor!

Plastic egg wreath DIY

I created a colorful plastic egg wreath using a variety of bright eggs in orange, pink, purple, blue, red, and green.

For each flower, I grouped six eggs of the same color in a petal-like formation and placed a yellow egg in the center to create a vibrant focal point.

To assemble the wreath, I used a foam wreath base, which I covered with a layer of burlap for a rustic look.

To stick everything in place, I used a hot glue gun, ensuring each egg was securely attached to the wreath.

The total cost of the project was around $10–$12, as the eggs and foam base were inexpensive, and it took me about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. The finished wreath added a cheerful, springtime touch to my home!

DIY Easter Chick Wreath

To make an Easter chick wreath, start with a foam wreath base and wrap it in pastel-colored fabric or burlap for texture.

Next, take your bright yellow chicks from the dollar store and arrange them evenly around the wreath.

Use a hot glue gun to attach them securely.

For the finishing touch, tie a ribbon around the top for hanging.

The entire project should cost around $10–$15 and take about 1–2 hours to complete.

DIY Plastic Egg wreath

To stick the large plastic eggs together for your wreath, follow these steps:

Arrange the Eggs: Lay out your plastic eggs on the burlap background to see how you'd like them arranged. You can create a circular pattern or a more organic shape, depending on the look you're going for.
Use Hot Glue: The best way to attach the eggs is by using a hot glue gun. Apply glue to the edge of one egg, then press it firmly against the next. Hold it in place for a few seconds until the glue sets. Repeat this process for all the eggs you want to stick together.
Secure with Glue: For larger eggs or tricky spots, add a bit more glue to ensure they stay firmly attached. You can also add some glue on the inside rim of each egg to make them extra secure.
Allow Time to Set: After sticking the eggs together, let the wreath dry for about 10–15 minutes to make sure everything is solid.
Finishing Touch: Once the eggs are securely attached, you can glue the whole arrangement onto the burlap background.

The hot glue will keep the eggs firmly in place, allowing you to create a sturdy and colorful wreath. Enjoy your fun, vibrant creation!
