How to Make Adorable Painted Bunnies Out of Clothespins

February 3, 2019 By Vanessa Beaty 2 Comments

It seems like just yesterday that I was working on winter holiday crafts, and now we are already well into the new year, and I am getting crafts ready to celebrate Easter.

In my newest Easter craft tutorial video, I will be showing you how you can create the cute bunny rabbit to celebrate the holiday out of an ordinary clothespin and a few other simple supplies.

How to Make Adorable Painted Bunnies Out of ClothespinsThis tutorial is super easy, with only a few materials needed. The steps are straightforward, and the results are super adorable. You will notice that while I did mention hot glue and a glue gun under the tools you need, you could also get away with using wood glue instead.

This is a good option if you want to work on this project with young children who you do not want using hot glue.

Below, you can view all the materials and tools required. Once you have them ready, you can follow the written instructions while watching the video tutorial to turn your clothespins into cute DIY Easter bunnies.

Did you know that you can turn a clothespin into an Easter bunny with just a few simple supplies? In this new Easter crafting tutorial video from DIYnCrafts, you can find out how it’s done. Have fun creating these adorable bunnies!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Difficulty Easy

Materials

  • White paint
  • Clothespin
  • Faux pearl
  • Pink satin ribbon

Tools

  • Pink marker
  • Black pen
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions

  1. The first thing you need to do is take your clothespin and break it in half by removing the wire mechanism which holds it together. You can set the wire mechanism aside (or throw it away) as you will not be needing it again.
  2. Paint both halves of the clothespin white. Make sure that you cover them completely without leaving any exposed wood. Once that is done, wait for them to dry completely before you proceed with the next step.
  3. Use hot glue to reattach the clothespin halves to each other. It will look just like it did before, minus the wire and painted white.
  4. Now it is time to draw on the bunny’s features using the pink marker and black pen. Start with the pink marker. Use the marker to draw pink triangles on the ends of the clothespins. These have just become the bunny’s ears.
  5. With the same pink marker, just a little bit below the first notch over the yrs., make two little circles, one on either side. Make sure that there will be enough room above them for the eyes. The pink circles will serve as the cheeks.
  6. Now, use the black pen to draw the eyes above the cheeks. Draw whiskers over the pink circles. You can also draw little hands and feet on your bunny.
  7. You will notice that there is still a notch in the middle of the face between the cheeks. Obviously, one does not want one's bunny to have a hole in the middle of its head. To cover it up, glue on the faux pearl (you can also use any other type of bead you want).
  8. Finish your handcrafted Easter Bunny by tying a pretty ribbon around its neck. You can go with any color you want. I chose pink, since it matches the ears. Note that the ribbon will have to be pretty thin, or it will obscure the bunny’s face. You can now stand up your Easter Bunny or clip it anywhere you like.

    This looks like a great fun project, I just have one question. You said you can clip the bunny somewhere when you’re done. How can you clip it if you take the spring out?
