Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a first 'timer looking for a fun, satisfying activity, we found a craft that comes in a kit that has everything you need to create a charming, 7 1/4 inch tall, 4 1/4 inch wide bunny that doubles as a night-light, decor piece, and conversation starter. Let's dive into why this kit is a spring-time must-have, what's inside, and how you can have your bunny hopping in just a few hours.
Why We Feel This Kit Wins the Spring Decoration Game
First, and most importantly, everything is all in one package! That means no searching through all of your crafts stashes looking for this or that and no frantic trips to the craft store. Beads, safety pins, wire, eyes, pom poms, pipe cleaners, and a mini light string are all pre-counted and ready to go.
Second, it is kid friendly. If you want to include the kids in this craft they'll have as much fun as you do. The components are lightweight and non toxic. Kids have fun stringing the beads onto the safety pins.
Place it on the Easter dinner table, on the kids' bedroom nightstand, or a hallway mantle for an instant pop of pastel glow.
Simple steps, safe materials, and a satisfying result for crafters of all ages.
A radiant bunny that instantly brightens any Easter or spring gathering.
Most families finish the bunny in just a couple of hours, making it great for a rainy Saturday or as a pre-Easter craft sprint.
It is reusable again and again! Your beaded bunny is strong and durable and the beads don't lose their colors over time. It will look just as lovable in year 10 as it does the minute you plug it in.
What's Inside the Package?
- Assorted beads - Used throughout your project. There are several sizes of faceted and starflake beads, and some colors include tri beads. The size is labeled on each package so there is never any confusion about which bead you are instructed to use.
- Safety pins - The safety pins are the "bones" of your bunny. You will add beads to the pins using the instructions. It will tell you which size pin to use and which beads to add to the pins.
- Craft Wire - There are 2 different gauges (sizes) of wire included. One is thicker and stronger and the other is a thinner, more pliable wire that gets used on the ears. The heavier wire is used to thread beaded safety pins and beads onto to form your bunny's body.
- Plastic Googly Eyes - Give your bunny its sweet, expressive stare.
- Pom Poms - All you need to bring your bunny to life with cute little cheeks and mouth, feet, and a fluffy tail.
- Pipe Cleaners - Use these to form your bunny's whiskers.
- Mini Light String - A light string is provided in the kit to insert inside your bunny to give him a warm glow.
- Detailed instructions - We found these instructions to be well written and include plenty of photos and illustrations to help you along the way.

What's Not Inside the Package?
The only thing you will need is a few tools to create your bunny friend. Here's the list we came up with.
- Jewelry pliers - You will use these to twist the wire closed at the end of each row.
- Small wire cutters or utility scissors - These are needed to cut your wire to the specified lengths for each step of the pattern.
- Ruler or tape measure - The instructions tell you what length of wire you will need for each row or step.
- Hot glue gun - The bunny is made in 4 pieces, the 2 ears, the closure on top of the head and the body itself. Hot glue helps secure these into permanent position. You will also need a dab of hot glue to add Bunny's facial features, feet and fluffy tail.
Tools you will need.
Everything else is neatly packaged and marked, making setup a breeze: open the kit, lay out the pieces, and you're ready to start beading.

Make the Ears
