Easter Egg Bunnies How-To
What you'll need:
- 6-12 hard boiled eggs
- A pencil
- Craft scissors
- Heavy white craft glue or felt glue (specially formulated for adhering to felt - found in most craft stores next to the felt.)
- A permanent black marker (if decorating with older children) OR a black crayon (if decorating with younger children.)
- White felt (we used 2 8"x 10" white sheets of felt for 6 eggs)
- Pink felt (we used a very small portion of 1 8"x 10" sheet)
- Optional: Green paper Easter grass for displaying your Easter Egg Bunnies
How to
- Start by hard boiling your eggs. Once complete set them in the refrigerator to cool for 1-2 hours.
- Once cooled, remove your hard boiled eggs from the refrigerator.
- Use a black crayon or a black permanent marker to draw eyes, a nose, whiskers etc. on your bunnies. Once complete set them in the egg carton, and place them back in the refrigerator.
- Next, trace out your bunny ears on the white felt (we used extra-large eggs so each of the bottom 1/2" strips to our bunny ear "hats" was about 3" in length (refer to images below.) Cut each set of bunny ears and set to the side.
- Now, trace out the inner pink area for each set of felt bunny ears. Cut out and set to the side.
- Using heavy craft glue or felt glue, assemble each set of bunny ears (refer to images below.)
- Set to the side, and allow adequate time for drying (ideally overnight.)
- Once dry, slide a set of bunny ears onto each of your Easter Egg Bunnies.
- Display in a bowl or egg carton filled with green paper Easter grass. Display as a fun and festive centerpiece on your table, this Easter!
Happy crafting & Happy Easter, everyone!
