How to Upcycle a Party Ball into a Cute Easter Bunny

April 2, 2019 By Vanessa Beaty Leave a Comment

If you are getting ready to host an Easter party at your house, you are going to want to make some DIY decor to give your party a unique vibe. In this video tutorial, you will be transforming a regular honeycomb ball into a cute Easter Bunny to welcome your guests and celebrate the holiday.

How to Upcycle a Party Ball into a Cute Easter BunnyJust a few tools and materials are needed for this project, most of which you might already have in your craft room. One unique supply that you will need is a honeycomb ball decoration made out of paper. You should be able to buy one of these ready-made at a party supply store.

I decided to use a pink honeycomb ball for my Easter bunny decoration, but you can pick any color you want. Pastels are usually best to get that perfect springtime ambience.

All materials and tools you need can be found in the list below. You also can read written directions as you follow along with the video tutorial. Let’s get started crafting a honeycomb ball Easter bunny.

Project materials.

Instructions:

1. When you purchase a honeycomb ball, it may be in a collapsed form. Expand it so that it is in a ball shape.

Expand the party ball to get it ready for the project.

2. Next, you will need to draw and cut out a circle shape from a piece of white cardboard. It will become the bunny’s head. The size of the circle depends on the size of the honeycomb ball you are using. In my case, I found that tracing around a CD produced the size that I needed.

Preparing the the bunny's head. Using a cd to form the bunny's head. Cutting the circle we'll use as the head.

3. You can set the circle aside now, but use it for reference as you sketch and cut out the shapes of two matching bunny ears, also from the white cardboard.

Draw and cut the bunny's ears.

4. To create the inner ears, cut out the same shapes, but slightly smaller, from the pink foam sheet.

Cut out smaller ear shapes from pink foam sheet, you're gonna use them for the bunny's inner ear.

5. Glue the inner ears on top of the outer ears, and then glue the completed ears onto the circle. It will look best if you attach them at the back.

Glue the inner ear to the outer ears.

6. Now that you have the bunny’s ears and head, you can create its face. To do this, glue on the googly eyes, and then glue on the pom pom as the nose. Sketch the bunny’s mouth using a black marker.

7. Glue a craft stick to the back of the bunny’s head, sticking out below like a neck.

Glue a Popsicle or craft stick onto the bunny's neck.

8. Insert the craft stick in through the top of the honeycomb ball so that the head rests on top.

Insert the finished bunny head in the middle of the party ball.

9. Cut out the shapes of two bunny feet from the same white cardboard that you used to create the head and ears.

Cut the bunny's feet out of white cardboard. Finished bunny project feet.

10. From the pink foam sheet, cut out the shapes of paw pads.

Cut and glue the pink paw pads onto the finished feet.

11.

Glue the completed feet onto the base of the honeycomb ball, making sure that they will still be visible when the bunny is standing upright. That means they should be positioned somewhat in the front, not directly on the bottom.

Glue the completed feet onto the base of the honeycomb ball.

Here’s what your completed honeycomb ball Easter bunny decoration should look like:
