DIY Easter Bunny Vase

Next, paint a cute bunny face on the white vase. I drew my face on the vase with pencil first, then went over it with black Sharpie. I used a pink colored pencil to add the cute cheeks and filled in the nose with pink acrylic paint.

Step Two: Create the top hat. I created the brim of the top hat using chipboard. It rests on top of the smaller and wider vase and has an opening for the tall vase to fit inside it. I kept the brim separate from the tall vase so that the tall vase can be removed and easily filled with flowers. This also makes it easier to water the flowers without getting the brim wet.

Start by tracing the bottom of the tall vase onto a piece of chipboard.

Use a ruler to add a second circle that is 1.5″ away from the first traced circle.

Carefully cut out the brim and make sure the tall vase can fit inside it. You may need to trim a little away so that it can easily fit around the tall vase. Next, paint the brim the same color as your tall vase, for me this was teal. Once it has dried, place it under a stack of books to help make it lay flat. This brim will sit on top of the short vase with the tall vase inside it creating the illusion of a top hat.

Step Three: Use ribbon to add a bowtie and hat band. I used really cute plaid ribbon I found at Michael’s craft store. I doubled it to create a wider hat band and used hot glue to attach both the hand band and a bowtie.

Step Four: Add bunny ears and flowers to the hat brim! Cut two bunny ears from white cardstock and add pink paper to the center each ear. I used 110lb white paper so they are nice and sturdy. Glue the bottom of them to the top of the hat brim using hot glue.

Add small flowers to decorate the hat brim between the two ears.

The bunny vase is finished! I filled my tall vase with a bouquet of spring flowers and place it in the shorter vase. I have been enjoying the flowers all week long.
