Bunny Easter Egg Craft

Ready to make a fun and easy little craft with some of those plastic little Easter eggs?


Materials needed:
  • Plastic Easter Egg
  • Cotton Balls
  • Pipe Cleaners, cut to 1.5-2 inch pieces
  • Paper, cut out in the shape of floppy bunny ears
  • Permanent Sharpie marker
  • Glue (used hot glue... if kids are making these you'd have to use
  • Scissors
  • Candy to fill the egg, if giving as a gift =)
  1. First open the egg and glue in the ears to the smaller flat side of the egg. Egg should still be able to close with this thin paper.
  2. Use the glue and cover the body of the egg with cotton balls. 
  3. Glue and poke in the pipe cleaner legs. 
  4. Use the marker and draw on a cute little bunny face! 
  5. Fill with some candy. 
These are fun to have placed around the yard on a fun little Easter Egg hunt! More than just a simple little egg. Fun for little hands to pick up and play with.

Plate of Cookies.....

Ready to make your own designer plates that you can change depending on the occasion?

I purchased these glass salad plates for $1 at Wal-mart.


A handy little tip....The easiest way to remove those pesky bar code labels is to use a product called DeSolvit. I put the item in the sink, spray the chemical on the label and in one or two applications it comes right off with no sticky residue left behined. It is FABULOUS!

Here is a piece of designer scrapbook paper in Brown and cream... you can use whatever that will suit the party or occasion.


The next secret to this fabulous plate is spray on adhesive. You spray the plate with the adhesive and then smooth the paper on to it... (or you can wrinkle the paper onto it if you want that different effect. Or you can do multiple pieces of paper for a mosaic look.)

Here is the plate with the paper on it. After the paper is on the plate you can rip it or cut off the excess paper.
Then I took some fortune cookies from Panda Express and I wanted to turn them into a more gourmet cookie. In California there is a restaurant called Panda Inn (a formal sit down version of Panda Express... very good) and they bring out fortune cookies dipped in white chocolate and wrapped in colorful foil. So good! So I melted some white chocolate, dipped half of the cookie in the chocolate and then.... Mmmmmm... Delish!

Here is the final product.... Cute plate and yummy cookies.
