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.

These little Bunnies are so cute! Its Awesome to have your Home Decorated with Homade Decorations. This will definitely make it Yours. Thank You for another Great Craft..
This craft would be a lot of fun to make for Easter. I have never used wooden eggs to decorate them for a holiday.
I will have to check out my local Ben Franklin craft store and dollar tree to see if they have the unfinished wood eggs. If they too this would be a fun project to do for next weeks spring break from school.
Another cute craft to keep me busy. My grandson can’t wait for me to decorate for Easter. These will help make my home cute.
Those are really cute. They would be cute little keepsakes in Easter Baskets, too, or for kids who might be allergic to eggs & don’t like coloring regular Easter eggs.
I too love decorating the house for each season. I have never seen this craft before and I must say it is adorable. I especially love the cute heart noses. I also love that I can give these as gifts to both children and adults thank you for sharing.
