Diy Scrap Wood Easter Bunny | 2 x 4 Craft Projects (2024)

It is that time of year to start decorating for Easter, and I have a ton of wood scraps and reclaimed pallet wood; hence I started creating the DIY scrap wood Easter bunny. Making the DIY wood bunny was such a blast and adorable I had to make more and, of course, share how with my readers.

This easy DIY project I enjoyed with my daughter, Olivia, who is also a blogger. We made a video of these craft projects; you can see the video HERE. During our “staycation,” we have been crafting, sewing and cooking. We are trying to share a live event every day on my Facebook page to inspire everyone to have fun.

Our goal is to craft with items we have on hand; thus, we are using up-cycled items, re-cycled items, scrap wood, leftover paint, etc.

I asked Mr. Kippi at Home to cut some 2 x 4 wood scraps in 4″, 6″, and 8″ lengths. I used scrap wood for this project.

The first step is painting the wood scraps with white paint (I used chalk paint) that you have on hand.

After gathering my supplies, I started drawing on the bunny face by placing the face template over the painted woodblock and using a marker I filled in the face.

The unfinished wood bead can be painted, or you can use your marker and draw on the nose. I like it both ways; however, the hole in the wood bead provides the perfect place to thread some raffia whiskers through.

How to Make the Bunny’s Ears

To form the ear folds, we made a mini pleat in the center of the burlap ribbon and adding a dot of hot glue, then using finger protectors, pinching it together until it cools.

Olivia made the yarn pom-pom tails for the wooden bunnies, and you can see how she did with a pom-pom maker in this video. The block is a bunny sign of sorts, but with the adding dimensions of ears, nose, ribbon tie, and pom-pom tail, it turns into an adorable Easter bunny decoration.

Each of our bunnies got a little different look with different combinations of ribbon, lace, twine, button, whiskers, and noses.

DIY Split wood ball wreath is gorgeous and was super easy to create. I made a funny video of us cutting the balls in half (don’t worry, you can order then already cut.)

I used a vintage screen door to create this Farmhouse chalkboard sign.
