How to Make an Easter Bunny Pin

Kids love crafts, particularly those that can be worn or given as gifts, and Easter should be no exception. An adorable Easter bunny pin is a great way to keep your kids occupied for an afternoon. It can be pinned to an Easter basket or worn on a lapel and enjoyed for the entire season. Read on to learn more.

Things You'll Need

• Paintbrush
• 1 large round Woodsie
• White craft paint
• 2 medium teardrop Woodsies
• 2 small teardrop Woodsies
• Pink craft paint
• Tacky glue
• 2 10 mm wiggle eyes
• 1 1/4 inch pink pom pom
• Black and/or red fine tipped felt marker
• Jewelry pin back

Instructions

1. Paint the large round Woodsie and the two medium teardrop Woodsies white. Paint the two small teardrop Woodsies pink. Add any personal touches you like and allow the pieces to dry thoroughly.

2. Glue the pink teardrop Woodsies to the inside of the larger white Woodsies to create the inside of the bunny's ears. Place a small dab of tacky glue on the pointed tip of each white teardrop Woodsie. Glue them to the round Woodsie so that the tips of the teardrop Woodsies are on the back side of the round Woodsie, placing them where you want the Easter bunny ears to be.

3. Add a drop of glue to the backs of the wiggle eyes and press them into the round Woodsie where you would like your Easter bunny's eyes. Add the pom pom nose and any other details you might like. You might consider cutting and gluing false eyelashes on your bunny, or using stiff black nylon to make whiskers. You can give your bunny a tuft of hair, glasses or add some rosy cheeks with water colors.

4. Allow the glue to dry completely before adding the final touches to your Easter bunny pin with a felt-tipped marker. Use the marker to draw eyelashes, eyebrows and a mouth.

5. Place a thin line of glue on the jewelry pin back and attach it to the back of the Easter bunny pin. Allow the glue to dry, and enjoy.
