I am not sure if anyone else has what I call the “pinterest planning syndrome.” When I’m in a crafty mood, I turn to pinterest for inspiration. I have a general idea in mind and think, “Hey, I will spend ten minutes researching to see if there is anything remotely like my idea.” I look up from my computer and discover an hour has passed and I have a long list of ideas I’ve pinned. The time I’ve allotted to crafting has come and gone, leaving me with only minutes left. That’s why I favor simple crafts with minimal materials; I can have them ready and still feel like I accomplished something in a short time. And can I help it if I want my crafts to cost less so I can make more of them? I saw a version of this cute little Easter Bunny Jar craft and rushed out to Dollar Tree to pick up supplies.
Here are the supplies you will need to make your own:
- One clear glass jar. You can use a Mason Jar, a container jar with lid or whatever you prefer. Just make sure it is large enough to hold the bunny.
One chocolate (or white chocolate) bunny. Again, choose any size bunny you want as long as it fits into the jar.
One four pack (or at least 30) small bubble gum eggs. You could also use pastel Jelly beans or candies.
A handful of Easter grass or shredded paper in color of your choice.
Enough ribbon to wrap around the jar (I used a piece that was eight inches long so I could have some overlap and be able to tie the ribbon.)
1 small bunny figurine. I used one of the paint your own in the Holiday Section at Dollar Tree.
Begin by placing the Easter grass in the bottom of the jar. Scatter the bubble gum eggs evenly over the grass. Place the bunny in the center of the jar. I used the eggs surrounding him to keep him standing up.
Close the lid and tie the ribbon around the top. Glue the bunny onto the lid. A drop of craft glue will keep it in place until you are ready to remove it.
I loved the way it turned out and the total cost was $4.00. They are perfect for using as decor and then giving to the kids on Easter.
Do you have an easy Easter craft you make each year?
This is a partnered post with Dollar Tree. All opinions are my own.
Oh my…so cute! I always get so excited to see what you have brought to the party! Pinned and tweeted. Thank you for being part of our party. I hope to see you on tonight at 7. Lou Lou Girls
This is ridiculously cute! I’d love to do this for the kids.
Very cute and unique!
Why did you hide chocolate bunny from me? 😉 I will find a way to open that jar 😀

Wow, we are already thinking about Easter. Thank you for this quick and easy craft.
Cute Craft. I love Easter colors and crafts.
How cute is that!! That would be so fun to give away for Easter.
So cute! I love that you can grab everything at Dollar Tree. I hate spending a ton of money on crafts and decorations.
This is such a great idea for an Easter D-I-Y!! I like how you used simple items that can be found anywhere to do this project. Yes i also have Pinterest Planning Syndrome 🙂
How cute is this! I would love to do this
This is such a cute craft. I know my boys would just love this.
My kids would LOVE this! So cute!
So cute, if I were still teaching I would totally have done these for the students, thankfully I had none with chocolate allergies! LOL 🙂
How cute a Easter Bunny Craft Jars. I am a big kid at heart I would love to make one for someone!
This is so super cute! It would be a wonderful teacher’s gift.
Awww, that’s such a cute craft. I wish I had more time for crafts!
I love the way the white bunny on top looks. I think I would fill my jar with pink jelly beans.
Bwahaha! Yes, yes! I tend to pin for an hour make lists and then go out and buy more supplies… only to run out of time for crafting. Your jar turned out adorable!
This is so cute! This would make a lovely table piece or even a neat alternative to a basket!
This would make a great addition to any Easter Celebration!
I love crafts that are edible! What a cute jar!
Awww this is totally amazing~ I can see that this would be a fun project for the kids to do and give as gifts!
What a cute idea. A nice inexpensive gift to give to a loved one.
This craft is absolutely adorable. I’ll bet you could do this with a different kind of animal on top of the jars as well. Thanks for sharing
Neat idea. I will have to do this.
Aww. That is really cute. What a neat way to celebrate an Easter tradition without a basket. I know kiddo would love something like that because it would make her feel like the fairies brought it to her.
How cute is this, and at only $4.00! I would so enjoy making some of these.
What a fun Easter craft! Pretty enough to display or gift!
This turned out adorable! love the white bunny on top.
Now this is a great gift for sure and who doesn’t love candy. Yummy!
I made something similar but love the addition of the ceramic bunny on top of yours.
What a cute idea! We made Easter Bunny and Chick garland using those plastic eggs you put candy in. Every year we add to our collection – the garland can stretch across the room and no two bunnies or chicks are alike!
What a cute and easy to make Easter craft. I need to make some of these for my nephews and niece. – Katy
That’s cute! I like the idea of filling a SMALL jar with candies and toys for kids so I don’t go overboard with feeling a basket.
This is a very cute craft. I always looked forward to receiving a chocolate bunny as a kid. I’d still love one!
I am so with you, I’m all about quick and easy crafts that real moms can really make. Your Easter bunny jar is adorable.
I love spring decor with bunnies! And this craft looks easy enough for me to do it. 🙂
This is such a cute idea. I can’t wait to make this for my husband and son.
Pinning this one! We are hosting Easter this year.
That is so adorable! I love cruising the blogs when a holiday comes around. There are always so many cool ideas.
This is such a cute idea. We haven’t done many Easter projects in the past, but I’m anxious to do one with my son very soon!
Super cute craft! And simple — which I love!
That is super cute. What a fun centerpiece that would be.
