What I love most about this project is that it looks charming and special, but it does not require advanced crafting skills. With a few basic supplies like flower pots, ribbon, bunny ears, and faux flowers, you can create something that looks adorable for Easter and still feels soft and pretty enough to fit right into spring decor.
These little bunny pots would be so cute on a kitchen counter, dining table, coffee bar, mantel, or tucked into a child’s room for Easter. You could also make a set of them for teachers, grandparents, neighbors, or friends.
Supplies You Will Need
Small flower pots
Use small pots around 3 to 5 inches wide. Terracotta, ceramic, plastic, or paper mache pots all work well.
White craft paint
A matte or satin white paint creates a clean spring look. If your pots are already white you can skip painting.
Paintbrush or foam brush
Foam brushes work especially well for smooth coverage.
Bunny ears
You can use bunny ear picks, felt bunny ears, foam bunny ears, or make your own from white and pink felt or craft foam.
Faux flowers
Small spring florals like daisies, baby’s breath, mini hydrangeas, blush flowers, or soft greenery work beautifully.
Floral foam or filler
This holds the flowers in place inside the pot. You can also use crumpled paper, moss, or a small cup inside the pot.
Ribbon
Soft pink ribbon is especially pretty, but white, cream, gingham, or pale blue would also be adorable.
Hot glue gun and glue sticks (always use caution when using)
This helps attach the ears and ribbon securely.
Scissors
For trimming ribbon and stems.
Optional Supplies
Decorative moss
Wooden skewers or floral picks for support
Mini pom poms for bunny tails
Pastel eggs or small Easter accents
Paint pens or stickers for personalization
Best Flowers for This Project
Soft spring flowers give the prettiest result. Good choices include white daisies, blush pink daisies, baby’s breath, mini hydrangeas, soft greenery, and cream colored florals. A small full arrangement usually looks better than something too tall.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 Prepare the Flower Pots
Make sure your flower pots are clean and dry. If you are using terracotta pots, wipe away dust first.
Paint the outside of the pots with white craft paint using a foam brush or paintbrush. Apply a smooth coat and allow it to dry completely. If needed, add a second coat for full coverage.
Set the pots aside and let them dry fully before continuing.
Step 2 Prepare the Bunny Ears
If you purchased bunny ear picks you can simply set them aside for later.
If you are making your own ears, cut one larger ear shape from white felt or craft foam and a smaller inner ear shape from pink felt. Glue the pink piece onto the white ear shape.
Repeat to create two ears for each pot. If you want extra support, glue the ears onto wooden skewers or floral picks so they stand upright.
Step 3 Add Floral Foam
Place floral foam inside each pot. Trim it if necessary so it fits snugly.
The foam should sit slightly below the top of the pot so it can be hidden by flowers or moss.
Step 4 Insert the Bunny Ears
Place the bunny ears into the back portion of the foam so they sit behind the flowers. Position them so they peek up nicely above the arrangement.
Adjust them so they look balanced and straight from the front.
Step 5 Arrange the Flowers
Start with the largest flowers first and place them near the front and center of the pot.
Add smaller flowers and greenery around them to fill the arrangement. Keep the design rounded and fairly compact so the bunny ears remain visible.
Turn the pot slightly as you work to make sure the arrangement looks balanced.
Step 6 Cover the Foam
If any floral foam is visible, cover it with moss, greenery, or small flowers. This helps the arrangement look more polished.
Step 7 Add the Ribbon
Cut a length of ribbon long enough to wrap around the pot and tie into a bow.
You can tie the bow directly around the pot or create a bow and glue it onto the front. A soft pink bow gives the cutest Easter look.
Helpful Items for This Project
Small flower pots
Bunny ear picks or felt ears
Faux spring flowers
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Step 8 Add Optional Details
You can add extra details if you like. A small pom pom glued to the back makes a cute bunny tail. You could also tuck in tiny pastel eggs or add a small name tag if using these for place settings.
Tips for the Best Results
Use smaller flower pots so the bunny ears look proportional.
Choose soft spring colors for the flowers.
Keep the arrangement low and full instead of tall.
Use ribbon that is easy to shape into a bow.
If making several pots, use the same flowers and ribbon so they look cohesive together.
Ways to Customize This Craft
You can easily change the look by using different flowers and ribbon colors. Soft blush and white gives a classic Easter look. Pastel pink, lavender, and blue feel cheerful and springy. Cream flowers and neutral ribbon create a more subtle farmhouse style.
You can also personalize them with names for Easter table place settings or make mini versions for tiered trays.
