Step-by-Step Wood Bunny Craft Tutorial

Prepare the Fabric Ears

First, we’ll need to create stiffened fabric for our bunny’s ears:

Fold your patterned fabric in half with the right sides facing out.
Apply a generous coat of Mod Podge to both sides of the folded fabric.
Allow the fabric to dry completely – this creates the perfect stiffness for our bunny ears.
Print and cut out the ear and teeth templates from the free printable.
Once the fabric is dry, trace the ear pattern onto the stiffened fabric and cut out two identical ears.
Gently bend each ear to create dimension and a lifelike appearance.
Cut out the teeth shape from white fabric.

Create Your Bunny’s Face

Now for the most charming part of this wood bunny craft – giving your wooden spoon a personality!

Take your wooden spoon and turn it so the back (slightly concave side) is facing up.
Using the black pen, draw two small circles for the eyes.
With the pink crayon, add two circles for the rosy cheeks.
Gently blend the pink with your fingertip for a softer look.
Add a small dollop of hot glue between the cheeks and press the white fabric teeth into place.
Apply another spot of hot glue on top of the teeth and center the craft wire for whiskers.
Add a third spot of hot glue over the wire and attach the pompom nose, pressing firmly to secure.
Carefully bend the craft wire to create evenly spaced whiskers, holding the nose in place with one finger while you work.

Assemble Your Wooden Spoon Bunny

Now let’s bring all the elements together to complete your wood bunny craft:

Turn the spoon over and add two spots of hot glue to the top of the spoon.
Press the stiffened fabric ears into place on the glue.
Add a drop of hot glue where the spoon widens from the handle (the bunny’s “neck”).
Attach your “Happy Easter” banner if desired.
Tie a small bow with your ribbon and secure it in front of one ear with a dab of hot glue.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Bunny Crafts

Can I use plastic spoons instead of wooden ones?

While plastic spoons are an option, wooden spoons provide a sturdier base and a more natural, rustic feel that complements Easter decor beautifully. The flat surface of wooden spoons also makes them easier to draw on and attach elements to.

How can I make this craft with children?

How do I store these wood bunny crafts between seasons?

Wrap your wooden spoon bunnies in tissue paper and store in a box with other Easter decorations. The stiffened fabric ears should maintain their shape if stored properly, but you can reshape them slightly next Easter if needed.

Can I use other materials besides fabric for the ears?

Absolutely! Felt, craft foam, or even paper can work for the ears. Just make sure to stiffen paper with Mod Podge for durability, and consider doubling up foam or felt for added structure.
