Materials needed for this Easter bunny craft

easter craft for kids bunny materials (2) - Copy
  1. Unmatched socks
  2. Uncooked rice (around 1 cup per bunny)
  3. Rubber bands
  4. Black Sharpie Marker (or any black marker)
  5. Pretty Ribbon (Optional)
  6. Scissors

Instructions for the no sew sock bunny

Step 1. Take the sock and place it over a tall glass so its easier to pour the rice into.

Step 2 Poor the rice into the sock. I used a measuring pyrex cup to make it easier to pour, but you can use anything.

Step 3: Take the rubber band and tie the top close

Step 4: To make the head and body shape, take another rubber band and tie it between the head and the body.

Step 5: Use another rubber band and make the bunny tail.

Step 6: To make the ears, cut any excess sock so that there is a couple of inches for the ears. If you want floppy ears that flop down,then leave them a bit longer.

Once the excess is gone, cut the top portion down the middle.

Using a marker, draw on a bunny ear shape. Take your scissors and cut along the marker line. Once done, your bunny ears should stand up straight (or flop down if you want floppy ears)

Step 7: Use the Sharpie to draw the bunny eyes and nose. To make the eyes, simply color in two dots with the marker

To make the nose, draw an “x” shape. Super Easy!

Step 8:  This part is optional but it really adds a nice decorative touch to your bunny craft. Cut a long enough piece of ribbon and tie a bow around the bunnies neck. I used both fabric and plastic ribbon. They both worked well, but I like the look of the fabric ribbon a bite more. You can also use bakers twine, instead of ribbon if you have some lying around.

Your done this bunny easter craft project!

Some extra tips for this bunny easter craft DIY

  • To make smaller or bigger bunnies adjust the amount of rice used.
  • Use bakers twine instead of the ribbon to make a bow tie around the bunny’s neck
  • To make sock bunny’s out of black socks, use a white fabric paint or white glue ( that doesn’t dry clear)
  • Make different types of bunnies. Some with floppy ears that don’t stick up, some with shorter ears, some with longer ears that stick up.
  • Use different colors of socks or even patterned socks.
  • Use kids or baby socks to make small bunnies
  • To make these bunny easter craft to sell, use new socks.
  • Glue on googly eyes for the eyes and a small pom pom for nose, with pipe cleaner whiskers.
  • Use them as bunny decor for Easter in your home or in an Easter vignette
  • Great idea for Easter craft activities for elderly
  • Easy Easter Craft fair ideas – if your looking for an Easter craft to sell or for a fundraiser idea
  • Fun Easter craft for adults, craft parties, gatherings, family events, etc..

And there you have it, a super easy Easter bunny craft that you make in 5 minutes or less! Hope you have a hoppy time making them!

Question... can I use Polyfil Stuffing instead of rice. I want to make them as a child's toy to sell at my shop booth. I'm very leery about using rice as it can pose a choking hazard for small children and infants. Love the ideas . I will be making these soon.

Hi Heather,

Great question! Yes, using polyfil stuffing should be just fine. All the best with the shop booth- very exciting!

Hi Lisa,

The socks I used where adult sized ones, but you can also use children's socks to create smaller bunnies :) Enjoy!
