Easter is almost here. What are your plans for the long weekend? We are planning a trip to the Natural History Museum, lots of down time, some delicious food and of course a few crafts. I love Easter crafts, especially Easter bunny crafts that can be so, so cute! So I’ve been collecting some ideas to try out over the weekend and in the holidays. I’ve rounded up 9 of my absolute favourite ones that include some edible ones too. Most of these Easter bunny crafts are easy to make and perfect to keep little people busy over the holidays:
I can’t remember doing many crafts as a kid but the one craft I remember doing each year was painting and decorating Easter eggs. After we made our eggs, no matter how hideous they were, my mother would treasure them and almost treat them like they were priceless faberge eggs. Only a mother could do that! I haven’t painted an egg in years so this year I remembered in time and decided to make these cute black and white Easter egg bunnies.
I love Easter. Not just because of all the divine chocolate you’re allowed to eat but also because of the four day weekend which is a rarity in the UK. It’s a great time to switch off, spend time with family and of course eat more than your own weight in chocolate. What’s not to love?
Last year I shared these free printable Easter treat boxes and this year I decided to make little DIY Easter treat bags that Anya can give to her friends. One of my favourite bunnies out there is Miffy so he was the inspiration behind these cute little treat bags. And the best part is that you don’t need to sew to make these bags, just use a glue gun instead. Here’s what I did:
Today I have a little treat for you – these super cute free printable Easter boxes which you can fill with whatever you like. They perfectly compliment the Easter bunny cards I shared a little while ago.
These bunny boxes have been designed by a very talented design and architecture student called Annelies and they are exclusively for my readers. It was her blog – A pattern a day – that first caught my attention. The patterns she creates – wow! Just wow.
To make these boxes print out the templates provided. Annelies has designed three boxes – each with a slightly different pattern. Regular printer paper is too thin so you will need coloured card to ensure that the boxes hold together. Once printed, cut along the outline provided and then fold down the dotted lines. You will need to glue the the box together, leaving out the top flap so you can put things in the box. I love a bit of pastel for Easter but of course you can choose any coloured card you like.
Anya’s been taking these bunny boxes as little gifts for the play dates she’s been invited to over the holidays. We either fill them with little chocolate eggs or a small toy. We’ve given out a couple and they have been loved. Making the box yourself adds that personal touch which people so appreciate.
A big thank you to Annelies for creating these adorable free printable Easter boxes and for the cute bunny cards too. We have made great use of these and I hope you will too.

I don’t really know why but I always get much more excited about Easter crafts than I do about Christmas or any other occasion. With this in mind, last week I shared some fabulous Easter egg decorating ideas and the week before I had some adorable Easter bunny card printables created especially for you. This week I have another fab free printable coming for you but today I wanted to share some fun and unusual Easter bunny crafts to try out over the holidays. I went looking and here are my favourites:
This is such a cute idea to make your own bunny t-shirts. You could actually make any item of clothing using the same idea.
I know Easter is all about indulging in chocolate but you can also have fun with healthier treats like these bunny bagels. How cute are they? Made with cream cheese and fruit, they look so adorable – I don’t think any little kid would be able to resist.
If like me you’re a Miffy fan, Easter is the perfect time to indulge in lots of Miffy shaped things like this cute DIY miffy bag perfect to fill with little chocolate eggs.
I did warn you that I was a bit Miffy obsessed so here is another Miffy craft. This pastel Miffy bunting would look great for an Easter party or even as a year round kids room decoration and it comes with a free printable template making it super easy to make.
These DIY Easter bunny envelopes not only look cute but will keep little hands busy for a while. This is one craft kids can make on their own and then fill with little toys or treats for themselves or for a friend.
Easter can’t be complete without a set of bunny ears for each of the kids and maybe even for the adults! I’m loving these DIY bunny ears that are easy to make too.
Last but not least are these fun bunny decorations to hang up over the Easter weekend. Or instead you could just decorate paper plates in a similar way – add ears and a little face to the middle.
These are some of my favourite Easter bunny crafts – I really want to have a go at making those ears and that Miffy garland. Do you enjoy Easter crafts? What crafts will you be doing this Easter?
I can’t believe that we are just two weeks away from Easter. I feel like the year has just begun but it’s already nearly April! Easter is probably my favourite holiday not just because I love bunnies, eggs and chocolates but also because Easter takes me back to when I was a kid. We always, always did some egg decorating and I loved it – right from learning how to empty eggs to painting them and of course breaking many along the way. I’d like to do some egg decorating with Anya soon so I went looking for Easter egg decorating ideas and I found so much inspiration. From simple coloured eggs to really fun faces painted on, there is so much you can do with the humble little egg. Here are 10 of my favourite finds:
How gorgeous are these Easter eggs? I love the simple colour scheme of just two colours and the faces are just so sweet.
These Easter eggs have been dyed in various pastel shades and look so pretty. You can of course choose any colours you like but I love the soft tones of these.
For something a bit quirkier try making these colourful easter egg sculptures. They’d make such a fun and unusual table decoration for an Easter meal.
These Easter eggs have been decorated with felt tip pens and they look so great. I especially love the chick and bunny ones and the polka dotted ones. So easy to do with any pattern you like.
I wish I had thought of putting mini party hats on to Easter eggs – the eggs look so darn cute! To make these easier I wouldn’t bother with the bows as the hats are more than cute enough.
I love a bit of glitter and sparkle for any occasion so I’m loving these glitter filled eggs. The metallic colours look great with the other colours but of course the egg colours are entirely up to you. I ‘m thinking lots of different metallic shades like copper, bronze, gunmetal and pewter.
Instead of an elf on the shelf, make an egg on a shelf! I love how this egg is given so much personality just by adding legs and a body. Any kid would love making this Easter egg craft.
These bouffant hairstyle Easter eggs are just fab. When I saw them, they instantly brought a smile to my lips. For eggs that are a bit different from bunnies and chicks, these are my top pick!
Love these Easter eggs! I’m not sure I have a steady enough hand to paint something as neat and perfect as this but a messier version will be just as fun to make. In addition to the versions above, I think a Queens guard version would look so cool too.
Last but not least are these fun circus eggs. They come with free printables for all the circus bits so you just have to paint the faces and then dress the eggs.
These are my favourite Easter egg decorating ideas – some are more involved than others but they all look really fun to do. Will you be decorating eggs with your kids this year? Which one do you think you’ll make? And don’t forget to check out my super cute free Easter bunny card printable.
