Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash and dry your metal cans and add a basecoat of white acrylic paint to the bottom, outside and inside edge of both cans. Let dry (if necessary, apply a second coat).
    Small and large tin can painted white
  • Add a coat of yellow acrylic paint to the smaller can. Set aside to dry.
  • Print the bunny and chick template. Trace chick feet and beak patterns onto orange craft foam and the wings onto yellow craft foam. Next, trace the bunny ears and muzzle onto white craft foam. Finally, trace the inside of the bunny years onto pink craft foam. Cut out all of the pieces.
    Cutting out craft foam for the tin can Easter crafts
  • Measure and cut six pieces of the black twine into one inch long whiskers (you can also use black craft foam for this step)3/. Using a glue gun to attach the whiskers and pom pom nose to the bunny muzzle. Add the muzzle and wiggly eyes to the white can. Attach the pink part of the bunny ears to the white and glue to the top edge of the can.
    Putting together a tin can craft for Easter
  • Now take your glue gun and glue the wiggly eyes and beak to the can. Attach an orange feather to the back of the can. Glue the wings to the sides of the chick and the feet on the bottom. Finally add an orange feather to the back of the can. (You'll also add another feather directly in front of it, as seen in the image following this one).
    Making a chick themed tin can craft
  • Tie your ribbon into a bow, using scissors to cut triangular notches into the ends. Attach the bow under the bunny's muzzle with your glue gun.
  • For your finishing touch, fill the bunny can with shredded white paper and the chick can with shredded yellow paper. You can also add candy, small Easter toys or anything else you like.

While I linked to Amazon for your convenience, many of the craft supplies can be found for a much more budget friendly price at Dollar Tree or local craft stores.
