Craft Project – Wood Easter Egg Bunny Family
I love decorating for spring and the Easter holiday, especially with craft items that I made myself. I like to use handmade items inside and outside my home which really adds some personalized charm.

This Easter Bunny Family is really easy-to-make and you can make the entire family in one afternoon from some solid wood eggs, paint and some little embellishments. You can make one for every member in your family and display them year after year.
Craft Project – Wood Easter Egg Bunny Family
Unfinished Solid Wood Eggs
Vanilla or Off-White Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush
Sharpie Fine Tip Markers: Black, Pink and White
Scraps of Muslin or Homespun Cotton Fabric
All-Purpose Craft Glue or Glue Gun
Lay down plastic or newspaper onto your work surface. Since you’ll be painting, you’ll want to protect your work surface. Upcycled plastic bubble wrap also makes a nice painting surface and nothing seems to stick to it!
Paint your wooden eggs the color that you want them (we did an off-white almost an antique pale beige color). Let them thoroughly dry. Use the fine-tip Sharpie markers to draw on the eyes, whiskers, nose and mouth using the appropriate colors. Cut cotton muslin fabric into thin strips and tie each strip into a knot. Glue the knotted strip on top of each of the bunny’s heads to resemble bunny ears using all-purpose craft glue or a hot glue gun. Let dry.
For a personalized touch, you can write each family member’s name on the bottom of each egg and the date that you made them. Our’s stand up on their own since we bought flat bottom wooden eggs. If your’s need help standing up, you can place each one inside a rubber washer which will help it to stand up and not roll around.
You can use blue cotton fabric to make bunny ears for the boys, mauve/pink for the girls or just use natural muslin fabric for a true country/primitive look. Very versatile and easy Easter craft project to make.
