To re-create this super simple DIY Easter bunny craft, here is a list of materials to get you started:

- Paintbrush (1″)
- Paint Palate
- Modge Podge
- Sanding Blocks (optional)

Crafter’s Collection Paint Colors
You can choose any pastel color you want, but here are the Crafter’s Collection water-based acrylic paint colors utilized:
- Earth Brown for the eyes
- Fuchsia + Pearl Ash
- Light Purple
- Southern Bluebell
1. Set Up the Environment for Success
That is an option if you choose to sand the wood before painting. I didn’t do it, so it’s not the end of the world if you prefer to start painting first.
Lay the wooden bunnies on a flat surface that can get messy.
2. Add Paint to the Palette & the Bunnies
Add your desired paint color to the paint palette.
Apply the first coat of paint to each wooden bunnies using the larger paintbrush.
The paint can build up along the edges, so smooth them before it dries to prevent lumps.
Don’t forget to wash your paintbrushes so the bristles remain clean.
Repeat this process 2-3x to add additional paint coats to make the color more vibrant.
Ensure the paint dries thoroughly between each coat.
3. Paint the Eyes & Bunny Nose
Add the brown paint to your paint palette.
Dip the fine-tip paintbrush into the brown paint and add two circles for the eyes and one circle for the bunny nose (1-2 coats of paint).
If you want to sprinkle glitter to mimic the sugar on the Peeps, do so before adding the Modge Podge.
4. Add the Modge Podge
Once the paint is completely dry, apply the Modge Podge onto the wooden bunnies as a protectant.
Allow the Modge Podge to dry.
Congratulations! The super-easy, four-step process to create your DIY Easter bunnies is complete.
