DIY Modern Bunny Decor for Easter

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find that Easter decorations can come across really cheesy. Don’t get me wrong – I love cheesy!! Seriously, have you see my punny Easter eggs?! I just prefer more modern Easter decor in our home (same goes for all holidays, really). Typically, I don’t decorate a lot for Easter. We spend the holiday with my parents, and my mom always makes it a fun occasion. Instead, I may add some simple spring decor, like the yellow floral garland you see here. This year, I added this modern bunny decor to add just a touch of Easter to the house! They’re quick and easy to make with wood pieces, which makes them durable enough to last for several years. Keep reading for the tutorial AND my first Instagram Reels video!

This modern bunny decor was also my first attempt at using Instagram Reels, so you can watch the tutorial below! Ha, for a millennial I’m terrible at keeping up with the social media trends. It’s exhausting!

I can up with this modern bunny decor for Easter when I saw gold metal bunnies on Pinterest that had a similar shape. It wasn’t worth it to me to actually buy them, but it gave me the idea to make my own version with wood. Wood balls are available in practically every size, and I sourced these from both Amazon and Michaels. It took purchased the wrong size balls TWICE to get it right, ha! Below are the exact wood pieces I used to make these small modern Easter bunnies. Now, here’s how to make your own.

Step 1: On a thin piece of balsa wood, draw out bunny ears proportionate to your 1.5-inch wood ball. Carefully cut them out with a craft knife.

Step 2: Hot glue the smaller ball on top of the larger one. Hold until set. Then carefully glue the two ears to the top. Repeat with multiple bunnies.

Step 3: Paint all over with your desired colors. You’ll probably need two coats.

Step 4: Between coats, cut small squares out of the balsa wood (about 1.5-inch). Paint matching colors.

Step 5: Once all pieces of the modern bunny decor are dry, glue the large bottom ball to a square base. This ensures they’ll stand upright.

Spread the modern Easter decor pieces around your shelves, or make a bunch to decorate a mantel. I love our DIY mantel, so I’ll take any opportunity to show it off! Have a happy Easter!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
