Easter is just around the corner and I’m getting Harper’s Easter basket all ready to go! This year, I thought I would get a little crafty and make some of the “eggs” in her basket little bunnies!
I saw some similar crafts on Pinterest and decided to adapt it based on the crafting supplies I already had at home. I ended up creating a bunny hiding in the grass and a bunny with a tutu, or “ballerina bunny.” I think Harper is going to love fining these surprises in her basket! They still open-up so you could totally include treats in them as well if you’d like to.
This is such a simple craft and many of y’all may already have the supplies at home to create these. I used:
- Fake eggs purchased at the supermarket
- Scissors
- A glue gun
- Felt
- Tulle
- Scrapbook paper
- A black marker
The first thing I did was to cut out ears for the bunnies using felt. I just free-handed these as they don’t have to be perfect.
Then, you want to squeeze the bottom of the ear and add a dot of glue from your glue gun, like this:
Once you have your ears all set, add a dot of glue to the back of the fake egg, and attach the ears, each at a slight angle:
Then, draw the face on the bunny using a black marker (make sure you use a sharpie or something similar so it doesn’t rub off on the plastic):
The next step is to cut a piece of paper to make the grass. I had some mint green scrapbook paper already so I decided to use that. I cut little slits into it all around and then I cut it down to size in little triangle shapes to make it look more like grass. Then, I wrapped it around the egg to make sure they size was right and added a dot of glue to close it so the bunny egg can “rest” inside of the grass:
Here is the finished product!
The next bunny requires the same steps as the first, only instead of a bed of grass, I decided to make a little tutu using some leftover tulle I already had. I folded the tulle accordion-style and then I added dots of glue to where I wanted it to go, stopping to “bunch” the tulle a little to give it some shape.
Once this was complete, I cut a thin strip of felt and added it to the tulle skirt to cover where the glue was and finish the look:
I hope you like this fun twist on those plastic Easter eggs we all know and love!
They turned out so cute! I love the bunny ear idea and I'm sure Harper will love them 🙂
thank you Evelina!
This is too cute! Where did you get the metallic and pastel eggs? love the colors for the project! Thanks!
The metallic plastic eggs are from Kroger (a grocery store)
These are so cute! Thanks for sharing your project!
Thank you 🙂 glad you like them!
Cute! love those pink ears!
Thank you 🙂
Unless they are edible I dont think grumpy kid will enjoy them, total waste of time and energy.
Ill just keep copy pasting for you anonymous morons who continue to post these messages on every post:
So..here we go with the "grumpy kid" "harper is fat" "honey booboo" comments again.
This is Kevin, Harper's Dad.
Ill get this out of the way first…Congrats on getting a rise out of me, I am sure that was the purpose all along as I don't think you really are a person who spends all their time body shaming toddlers online all day.
If you are a person who enjoys body shaming little kids on blogs, television, gossip magazines, etc…then I feel horrible for your family (and god forbid you have any children of your own) that they have to spend any time with such a coward and loser. If you feel so strongly about your comments use your proper name and stand behind your words.
Make fun of me or Veronika all day, really could care less what "anonymous" thinks about me, but that you/whoever constantly make comments about my daughters weight is embarrassing for you.
These are darling and I'm sure Harper will love them and when she's older love it even more that her mommy made them for her! Kudos to your husband for his comment above. I hope you and your family have a happy Easter!
Thank you Maria! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter as well 🙂
It is really sad that people leave such horrible comments (repeatedly, on a weekly basis) about a toddler. It really speaks volumes about the kind of person they are to take time out of their day to write such things. I am sad for them that they feel the desire to leave such comments.
What is really sad is the way you overexposed your poor daughter making her a target for these kind of comments and you just dont get it…you take 30 pics of her per blog entry with her unflattering gap clothes and her looking miserable 90% of the time and then you wonder why they picked on her.
Actually…whats really sad is debating the merits of "being a public figure" regarding a toddler or baby. Do you post similar comments on the other thousands of blogs who post children? Or just on my wife's blog? Wonder why "they" picked on her, you are probably the same person who wrote the post above anyway.
Shaming a little kid online is soo hilarious, you must be a joy a parties.
Have a wonderful Easter combing the internet seeking out your next victim, or you can just wait until Veronika posts her Easter post where harper plays with Easter eggs, PS…its coming this weekend.
cheers,
Kevin
The bottom line is that it is never okay to body shame a baby, toddler, or child in any circumstance and doing so makes you a terrible person, period. If you don't like my blog and what I share, then take your comments and keep them in your head instead of being compelled to write body-shaming comments about a TODDLER on a weekly basis on every blog post. If you are so proud of what you write, then say it under your real first and last name. Then we will see how proud you are to have the world see how you spend your time.
My daughter is happy, healthy and wonderful. The fact that you are suggesting otherwise constantly says more about you than it does about me.
I think it's horrible that someone keeps posting such nasty comments, but I am curious as to why you continue to post so many photos of Harper. It's one thing if you want to make your lives an open book, your adults, but is it really fair to make so many aspects of your child's life public?
Whether I post five or fifteen photos, the comments will continue. People who troll blogs and dislike a particular blogger will use anything to speculate and comment on no matter how much or how little someone posts. I hope you're asking all bloggers who share photos of their family and children the same question.
