Begin by cutting apart an egg carton.

Cut cups from egg carton.

You will need to cut out the little “cups” and trim off any excess.

Paint cups.

Next, paint the cups in your color of choice. Or, leave as is to skip a step. We left a few of ours gray and they look really cute, too! Let the paint dry completely.

Add googly eyes.

Once the paint is dry, glue googly eyes in place.

Use a marker to draw a bunny nose and mouth.

Now, use a marker to draw a simple circle nose and bunny mouth. We used metallic markers.

Have an adult carefully make a hole at the top of the cup.

Then, have an adult use something fairly pointy to carefully make a hole at the top of the egg cup. We used a pen, which worked well.

Fold the pipe cleaner in half.

Fold a pipe cleaner in half. Then fold the bend down towards the bottom of the pipe cleaner. This should make a couple of loop shapes.

Twist pipe cleaner around itself.

Twist the pipe cleaner around itself a few times to secure in place.Straighten out the loops so they’re in a bunny ear shape.

Insert pipe cleaner in hole.
