To make an easy Easter bunny bag, you will need:

How to make an easy Easter bunny bag:

1. Use the free printable bunny template to cut a bunny shape out of your wrapping paper or coloured card
2. Make a mini yarn pompom using a fork (if you’ve never done this before, it’s super-simple and fast – find out how here) – don’t trim the loose pieces of yarn that you use to tie your pompom (this will make the next step easier)
3. Tie the pompom tail on to your Easter bunny (or poke a couple of holes with a yarn needle and thread the loose ends through, then tie together)
4. Use double-sided tape or glue to fix the bunny to your paper bag
5. Line the bag with tissue paper and fill with goodies!
