Super Cute and Easy Dollar Tree Bunny DIY with Video
Do you want to make a Dollar Tree Easter Bunny? I love using dollar store items to make DIY projects. Soon it will be time for Easter decorations so I want to share one of my favorite projects made from dollar tree supplies. I took garden kneeling pads from the dollar store and turned them into cute Easter bunnies.

Dollar Store Bunny Instructions
I purchased a few garden kneeling pads from my local Dollar Store.
1. Make a Bunny Template
I used a recycled Paperback and drew half of a bunny design on it. You could alternatively use a blank piece of paper, cardstock, or recycled paper.
I folded the paper bag in half and cut out the bunny shape. I folded the paper in half so each side would be the same. This step is similar to when you fold a piece of paper to cut a heart shape out.
I unfolded the paper bag and my template was ready to create my DIY bunny.
2. Trace the Bunny on the Pad
I placed my template onto the garden pad. The secret to help hold the template in place is to tape the template onto the pad.
I traced around the template onto the foam garden pad with a sharpie marker. You could also use a dry erase marker, pen, pencil, etc.
3. Cut Out the Bunny
I placed my foam garden pad onto a cookie sheet to protect my tabletop. I used a serrated knife that I purchased for crafting to cut out the bunny shape. You could also use scissors, heat knives, or a razor blade if you’d rather.
4. Add a Face
I hot glued on some buttons for the eyes and nose of my bunny.
5. Add your Display Method
I made a little loop and knot with some twine and hot glued it onto the back so that I could hang my dollar store bunny. You could alternatively use different things in the bottom so that you could place the bunny in a centerpiece on your easter table or stake it into the ground along a walkway, etc. I’ve used a skewer and also a wooden craft stick that I had around the house to use as a stake.
I cut out a second bunny and for this one, I hot glued on a tail for the back of the bunny instead of the button eyes on the front of the bunny.
Here are the 3 bunnies that I made.
You can have fun with these adorable bunnies by decorating them in different ways. Here are some fun ideas:
- Embelish the bunny ears with glitter
- Add a bow tie
- Add a little bow between the ears
I hung 2 of the bunnies on my porch.
I hung the other bunny on my front door.
What other bunnies can you make with dollar tree items?
- Grab a bunny wreath form and braid it with nautical rope
- Grab 2 wreath forms, bunny ears, and some burlap ribbon to make this cute wreath.
- Make a bunny banner or Easter banner with foam, wood, or burlap bunny cutouts glued to twine and hang it on your fireplace mantel
- Grab some dollar store terra cotta pots and make this cute terra cotta bunny
- Grab a cutting board and some ribbon to make these dollar tree carrots
