During Easter time those inexpensive plastic Easter eggs are plentiful. Use the plastic eggs to create little Easter 
Bunnies. Fill each plastic Easter egg bunny with candies. The candies act like a weight and keep the bunnies upright and standing in place. Kids will have so much fun making these little bunnies for their classmates and friends.
Material List:
- Plastic Eggs
- Giant Pipe Cleaners (reg. chenille stems will work, too)
- Googly Eyes
- Pink Pom Poms
- Large White Pom Poms
- White Chenille Stems
- 8″ of Assorted 7/8″ grosgrain
- Mini Bowdabra
- Hair Bow Tool & Ruler
- Bowdabra Bow Wire
- Hot Glue Gun or Glue Dots
- Large Picture nail
Instructions:
1. Begin with plastic Easter eggs. Most of the plastic Easter Eggs now come with pre-drilled holes so that they are not a choking hazard. Use a large picture nail to widen the holes for the pipe cleaner ears. If the eggs do not have two holes at the top heat a picture nail and easily create a hole through the plastic.

2. Cut a large pipe cleaner in half and thread the pipe cleaner through the top holes.
