Easter Bunny Mason Jar
If you’re a regular reader, you probably already know that when Easter rolls around, I’m all about the Easter eggs decorating ideas! From marbled eggs to unicorn Easter eggs, my girls and I always have the best time trying to come up with new ideas.
But this year I wanted to branch out a little. Instead of the usual eggs, I decided to make a cute mason jar bunny instead! With just an inexpensive jar, some craf foam and a few other supplies, you’ve got a fun and easy project that everyone will love!
Why We Love This Craft
Easy – This DIY Easter mason jar is easy enough that all ages can have fun making it!
Versatile – Kids will love using theirs to hold the treats from their egg hunt. You can also fill it with treats or candy to give out as Easter gifts or keep it to use as Easter decor.
Budget friendly – I found most of the supplies, including the jars, at my local dollar store.
Note: If making this with younger children, you may want to use white craft glue instead of a hot glue gun. They can also use wiggly eyes instead of drawing them on.
What You’ll Need
- 1 mason jar (or any similar sized jar)
- white acrylic craft paint
- 1 heart sticker
- 1 white chenille also known as pipe cleaner
- 1 white or pink pom pom
- 1 bunny ear template
- 1 piece white craft foam
- 1 piece pink craft foam
- 2 wiggly eyes (optional for younger kids)
You’ll also need equipment like a paintbrush glue gun (or white craft glue for younger kids), scissors, a pencil and a black marker. Now you’re ready to get your craft on. Just follow the instructions in the card below and have some fun!

- 1 heart sticker

- Print the bunny ears tracer cut them out. Trace the large one on white craft foam and the smaller one on pink craft foam.1 bunny ear template, 1 piece white craft foam, 1 piece pink craft foam
- Cut out the foam pieces. Glue the inner ear piece to the outer ear piece with hot glue and set aside.
- Draw the eyes on your bunny. I like to trace a quarter first, using a pencil, then go over it with a black permanent marker. If you're doing this with younger kids, large wiggly eyes work great too.
- Add your heart sticker for the nose (secure with hot glue if needed) and use the marker to add a mouth.1 heart sticker
- Glue the ears to the back of the mason jar lid. Be sure you don't glue them to the jar as well or you won't be able to open the lid later.
- Cut your chenille stem into six equal pieces. Glue three to each side of the nose.1 white chenille
- Finally, add a large pom pom to the back for the tail.1 white or pink pom pom
- Now just display your bunny as fun Easter decor or fill it with candy and give it as a gift. Happy Easter
Notes
- If you’re making this with younger kids, you can add wiggly eyes instead of drawing them on with a marker.
- If you don’t have a pink heart sticker for the nose, you can cut a heart out of the pink craft foam instead. You could also draw one on with a pink marker.
