• White pom poms – 10mm across, 4 per bunny
• Wood bead – 1″ diameter, 1 per bunny

How to Make a Pine Cone Easter Bunny

1. Assemble the bunny bodies.

Use a hot glue gun with adult assistance and attach a wood bead to the end of a pine cone, holding it in place as the glue dries.

You can also paint the pine cones and wood beads separately and then glue together. To help with painting the wood beads, it does make it easier to glue to the pine cone first.

2. Paint the bunny body.

Apply a coat of white paint all over the pine cone and wood bead. Set aside to dry completely.

3. Make the bunny ears.

Cut out an inner and outer bunny ear piece. We used white for the outer ear and pink for the inner ear. Use tacky or white glue to attach the inner ears to the outer ears.

4. Add the ears and arms onto the bunny.

With adult assistance, hot glue the felt ears onto the wood bead head and the 4 pom poms onto the pine cone body.

This step can also be done with white or tacky glue if you prefer, but you will have to hold the pieces in place as they dry.

5. Add the face.

Use a fresh fine-tip permanent marker or black acrylic paint pen to draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and whiskers onto the bunny’s face.

Tip: we used a pencil to sketch them on first to get the placement right – you can erase the pencil after when done.

6. Attach the bow.

Cut a piece of fine yarn that is about 4″ long and tie it into a tiny bow, trimming off any excess from the tails as needed.

Apply a tiny dab of tacky glue to the back of the knot of the bow and place it onto the top of the pine cone, right below the bead head. Allow to dry completely.

Your pine cone Easter bunny is now complete!
