The sign of the rabbit head
Here’s a simple craft, easy to make with kids. To let your creativity blossom, all you need to do is bring these few elements together:
- cardboard
- scissors
- paint
- dried flowers
- glue
- wooden stick (for support)
- Scotch
To recreate this adorable bunny head spotted on @je_fais_souvent_ce_reve’s Instagram account, all you need to do is draw the outline of a bunny’s head on cardboard and cut it out. Opt for pastels to give it a poetic look and decorate it with an elegant crown of dried flowers. Attach the wooden stick to the back of the cardboard with thick tape. Now you have the perfect accessory for your Easter selfies!
The Easter Wreath
If the Christmas wreath hanging on the front door is now familiar, on the festive decorative side, the Easter wreath is still marginal. However, it’s a good idea to give your home character inside and out. To make it you will need:
- several long thin and flexible branches
- Ivy
- a ribbon
- wire
- eggshells
- glue
To form your wreath, gather your branches and hook the ends together with wire to create an egg shape. Hang a ribbon at the top so you can hang it on the wall or on your door. Then decorate the wreath with ivy and carefully washed eggshells to give the look of a pretty nest.
PQ Rabbits
Ideal for making with kids, these fun little bunnies have the advantage of being able to recycle your toilet paper rolls. To make them, you only need:
- toilet paper rolls
- 1 sheet of white paper
- paint
- glue
- 1 black pen
Start painting the toilet paper roll any color you want. After drying, cut two rings of 5 mm wide. Squeeze each of the rings at the ends to form the rabbit’s ears. Glue the two ears to their base and slide them into the tube with a dot of glue to hold them in place. Cut out two white circles on a white sheet and place the eyes in black marker. Glue the two paper eyes onto the tube and draw your cute toilet bunny’s snout and whiskers!
chicken coop
What would Easter be without the hen hatching her delicious chocolate eggs? To make funny hen-shaped boxes and give your egg cartons a second life, you will need:
- 1 cardboard egg carton
- scissors or cutter
- paint
- 1 orange sheet
- colored feathers
Cut a square from your egg carton for each “chicken”, in the row connecting the top and bottom. Paint your small box the desired color. Draw two small eyes with black marker and glue an orange diamond folded in half for the beak. Drill a small hole in the top of the box for the spring to slide in. All you have to do is hide a little chocolate surprise in your box!
