Do you have some-bunny special in your life that could use a sweet reminder of how much you love them this Easter? Today I’m sharing how to make these super duper adorable DIY Easter Bunny candy pouches that add the perfect personal touch and cuteness to any Easter basket.
Did I mention how adorable they are and how simple they are to make?! You almost don’t want to open them up because they are so cute, but then when you do it’s like “Ta-da!” – a special surprise of sweetness inside that is sure to brighten somebody’s day!
Supplies needed to make your bunny pouches:
- white and pink cardstock paper
- googly eyes
- small pink buttons
- black marker
- stapler
- glue
- Easter candy
Instructions for making Easter Bunny Candy Pouches:
1. Make a cylinder out of white cardstock paper
Start by cutting a rectangle piece of white cardstock paper 4 1/2-inches by 7 inches. Join the ends together to make a cylinder shape. Overlap the ends by about 1-inch and then use a stapler to seal it shut.
2. Flatten out one end of cylinder and staple it closed
Flatten out one end of the cylinder and staple it closed. You’ll be left with an opening in one end of your pouch. If you are making more than one Easter Bunny candy pouch, get your other pouches ready to this step.
3. Create bunny ears
Cut out bunny ears from your white cardstock paper and small pink pieces for the inside of the ears and glue them onto the bunny ears.
4. Fill pouch with favorite Easter candy
Now comes the fun part! Gather all of the Easter candy you’d like to use to fill your bunny pouches. Fill your open pouches about three-quarters full with your favorite Easter candy.
6. Staple pouch closed with bunny ears
Flatten and close the open pouch end, place your bunny ears in the right position behind the pouch and staple them and the pouch closed.
7. Add eyes, nose and a mouth
Finish your DIY Easter Bunny candy pouches by gluing on googly eyes, a pink button nose, and then using a black marker to draw a mouth onto your bunny.
Now use your Easter Bunny candy pouches to put together a cute Easter basket for some-bunny special in your life. This simple and adorable bunny basket is sure to make somebody’s Easter sweeter!
