How To Make Flower Pot Bunny

Easter usually falls in late March or in April, and no matter when it happens to fall each year, it always feels like it surprises me like some unexpected event. Whether it’s a week or a month after St. Patrick’s Day, it never fails to arrive “in a flash!”

Is it just me or does time seem to speed up as you get older?

As I started thinking about Easter for this year, it nudged me to get started on some Easter crafts. I made these cute little flower pot bunnies that you can give to your kids as Easter gift baskets. You can even get the kids involved to help you make this flower pot bunny craft!

These flower pit bunnies would also make adorable Easter decor items if your kids are too little for breakables or they’ve “flown the coup.” Also, if your kiddos ARE too little, you can make these Easy Paper Mache Easter Baskets instead!

Supplies Needed To Make Flower Pot Bunny

• Terra cotta pots
• Paint in white (specifically for terra cotta like Americana Outdoor Living)
• Google eyes
• Pink pom pom
• Black marker
• Pink marker
• Stiff white felt
• Stiff pink felt
• Hot glue and glue gun
• Paintbrush
• Scissors

Step 1: Paint Terra Cotta Pots

Paint your terra cotta pot with a few coats of white paint inside and out. This may require multiple coats.

When the terra cotta pots are painted, set them aside to dry.

Step 2: Cut Out White Portion Of Bunny Ear

Cut ear shapes from white felt.

I just freehanded it, but if you want, you can use a pencil to lightly draw the ear shapes on the back of the felt and cut on the pencil line.

Step 3: Cut Out Pink Portion Of Bunny Ear

Cut smaller ear shapes from pink felt.

Again, I freehanded this, but you could also draw a smaller ear shape on the pink felt and cut it out on the line.

Step 4: Adhere Pink Felt To White Felt

Adhere pink felt to white felt with glue or remove the self-adhesive on the pink felt if you have that type of felt.

Step 5: Glue Bunny’s Ears To Terra Cotta Pot

Hot glue felt ears to the back of the clay pot. If you’re working with small children, check the FAQs section for more information about adhesives.

Step 6: Glue Googly Eyes & Pom Pom To Terra Cotta Pot

Hot glue on the google eyes and the pom-pom nose in the front of the pot.

Step 7: Draw Mouth Onto Terra Cotta Pot

Draw on the mouth with a black marker.

Step 8: Draw Cheeks Onto Teraa Cotta Pot

Draw on cheeks with the pink marker.

Step 9: Fill Terra Cotta Pot With Candy

Fill it with candy and display it or give it to someone special!

FAQs About Flower Pot Bunny

Here are a couple of questions that I see readers ask about making this flower pot bunny. If you have a question, please check to see if I’ve already answered it below. Don’t see it? Leave it for me in the comments!

Can I Change The Size Of This Flower Pot Bunny?

Absolutely! You can make this flower pot bunny any size that you like. However, if you make this project bigger, you will need larger googly eyes, a larger pom pom, and a larger sheet of felt for the bunny ears.

What Type Of Glue Works Best For This Craft?

My favorite adhesive to use when working with felt is hot glue. However, if you have small children helping you make these pots, using hot glue can be dangerous. In that case, I recommend using tacky glue to make it safer for young kids.

What Kind Of Felt Should I Use?

Since the ears are supposed to stand up like a bunny’s ears, you want to use a very stiff felt. Normal felt won’t be strong enough to stand up and will fold over. The links above take you to stiff felt, but please double-check the product information to verify before you make a purchase.

Can I Use Other Materials For The Ears Instead Of Felt?

Yes! If you don’t have stiff felt already at home, you can substitute white and pink craft foam in its place. Craft foam is about the same thickness as felt, and it maintains its shape in a similar way too.
