Materials Needed:
- Plastic Easter Egg (from Dollar Tree)
- Yarn (color of your choice)
- Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
- Safety or googly Eyes
- Black Yarn or Embroidery Floss (for mouth)
- Pipe Cleaner (for bunny ears)
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare the Plastic Egg
Start by selecting a plastic Easter egg from Dollar Tree. If you want the egg to stay closed while you work, use a small amount of hot glue to secure the two halves together.
Step 2: Wrap the Egg with Yarn
Take your yarn (white or any color you prefer for the bunny) and start at the top of the plastic egg. Apply a small amount of hot glue or Elmer’s glue to hold the yarn in place. Begin wrapping the yarn around the egg, layering it in different directions. Add a few more swipes of hot glue as you go to ensure the yarn stays in place and covers the entire egg.
Step 3: Attach Safety Eyes and Mouth
Once the egg is fully covered with yarn, place the safety eyes onto the front of the egg. Gently push the eyes through the yarn where you’d like the bunny’s face to be. After that, use a small piece of black yarn or embroidery floss to create a simple “V” shape for the bunny’s mouth just below the eyes.
Step 4: Make and Attach Bunny Ears
Take a pipe cleaner and bend it into the shape of bunny ears. Attach the pipe cleaner to the top of the egg using hot glue. You can twist it into a small loop to resemble bunny ears. For an extra touch, feel free to add a piece of fabric or felt to the pipe cleaner for a more detailed look.
Step 5: Final Touches
Add a small pom-pom or a tiny piece of yarn at the back of the egg to create a cute bunny tail. You can also glue small ribbons or decorations around the base for added charm.
Your DIY yarn-wrapped bunny is now ready! This cute craft makes a perfect addition to your Easter decorations or a lovely handmade gift. 🐰🌸
In this fun craft, you’ll start by creating the bunny’s body using wrapped yarn around a plastic egg. Begin by making a small slit in the egg to insert the yarn and start wrapping it in different directions until the body is fully covered. You can use chunky yarn for a fuller, more textured look, or experiment with different types of yarn for a colorful effect. For the bunny’s ears, cut a triangle shape from burlap or yellow yarn, and then glue them to the back of the bunny’s head. To add the finishing touches, glue on googly eyes, a small pom-pom for the tail, and a small piece of orange paper for the carrot’s top. Once everything is glued in place, your adorable yarn-wrapped bunny will be ready to display in your home!
