When you’re getting your eggs ready for the Easter bunny, be sure to save an empty carton and make this truly adorable Egg Carton Bunny Craft! This is seriously one of our new favorites, they turned out just too cute!

One of the great things about this craft, and really there’s quite a few great things about it, but it’s so easy you can make a bunch in no time. And in all different colors, like we did, too!

Make an Easter Bunny Craft with an Egg Carton

To make our egg carton bunnies you will need an empty paper egg carton, acrylic paint, pipe cleaners in corresponding colors, small googly eyes, markers, scissors, and glue.

Easter Bunny Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin by cutting apart an egg carton.

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

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.

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

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

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

Finally, insert the ears into the hole at the top of the egg cup.

We hope you love this bunny craft as much as we do. Now all that’s left is to make more hoppy bunnies in all different colors!
