Dollar Tree Easter Craft: DIY Bunny Planters

Sometimes life gets in the way of creative time, and that has definitely been the case for me recently!  I finally made it a priority over the weekend, and just LOVE this Dollar Tree Easter craft I whipped up: these darling DIY Bunny Planters!

These cute DIY Bunny Planters are made with dollar store supplies! Get the project tutorial for this cute Dollar Tree Easter craft in this blog post.

They are a speedy project, which is great when you don’t have a lot of leisure time.  Plus, they add a cute touch to your spring and Easter decor.

Supplies Needed to Make DIY Bunny Planters

This post contains affiliate links.  To read my full disclosure policy, please click here.

  • Small white planters (originally purchased at Dollar Tree, but I don’t think they have them currently. You could get these terracotta pots and paint them white as an alternative.)
  • Pink and gray multi-surface acrylic paint
  • Small paint brush
  • Floral moss
  • Faux succulents
  • White and pink felt
  • Fabric scissors
  • Multi-surface glue, like E6000 brand
  • Clothespins or craft clamps
  • Optional: bunny ear templates that you draw onto paper or card stock

Dollar Tree Easter Craft How-To: Instructions for Making DIY Bunny Planters

I started with the cutest little white planters that I got at Dollar Tree.  I just love these with their facets and iridescent shimmer!  They came in other colors, too, like pink and turquoise, but I think white is best for this project.  (Update: I don’t think Dollar Tree carries these anymore, but you could paint a flower pot white to make this craft!)

Step One: Paint a Nose and Whiskers

I used a small paint brush to paint a pink nose and gray whiskers onto the planter.  I used multi-surface acrylic paint to make sure it adheres well!

Transform a plain dollar store planter into an adorable bunny planter! It's a great Easter craft. Get the project tutorial in this post.

Step Two: Make a Bunny Ears Template

Next, I drew bunny ear templates onto scrap card stock and cut those out.  I drew a large ear and a smaller ear. 

Step Three: Create the Bunny Ears

Then, I used the larger ear template to cut out two white felt ears.  I used the smaller template to cut out two pink felt ears. 

Cut out felt ears to make a cute DIY Dollar Store Bunny Planter that's perfect for Easter or spring.

I glued one pink felt ear onto each white felt ear. 

These felt ears will become bunny ears in this darling DIY Dollar Store Bunny Planter project.

Step Four: Attach the Ears to the Planter

Next, I placed a thin line of multi-surface E6000 glue around the inner rim of the planter.  I pressed the ears onto the glue, and held them in place temporarily with clothespins.  Once the glue hardened, I removed the clothespins. 

Clothespins hold the bunny ears in place while the glue is drying on these DIY Bunny Planters.

Step Five: Fill the Planter

I filled the planter with craft moss to help hold the faux succulent in place.  This stuff makes a mess, so have your broom or dust buster ready!  😉

Fill the DIY Bunny Planter with craft moss prior to adding the faux succulent.

And for the final touch, I placed a faux succulent into the planter.
