Hi Kenarry readers, it’s Lori from Greco Design Company and I love easy DIY projects – especially if they’re cute and useful like this one! It makes a great Easter or spring decor idea and the kids will love it because it will be filled with candy.

I used a Ball canning jar, but you can use any glass jar with lid. Or you can even upcycle an old tomato sauce or pickle jar!

Glass Jar with lid. I found a Ball canning jar with a solid, flat lid (no band) at a local thrift store – but any glass jar with a lid will work. Like this one. Or this one.
Plastic bunny figure. Or if you’re making a few of these, you could buy this set.
Acrylic paint in your desired color, I used Folkart French Blue and Plantation Rose.
Small paint brush
Super Glue
Tiny white pom poms
Jute twine and ribbon to match
Candy – this Easter basket candy mix is perfect – but any candy will do.

Instructions:

1. Paint your bunny figurine.

Make sure your jar and lid are cleaned and dried fully. Then set aside and paint your bunny figure with 2 coats of paint. Be sure to get all the little grooves and let the paint dry completely between each coat.

2. Attach the figurine.

Place a good amount of super Glue on the bottom of the figurine and glue it to the top of the lid. Hold it in place for about a minute and then set it aside to dry.

3. Add your pom pom tail.

I cut a small notch in the side of my small pom pom so that it fit around the bunny tail. Then add a dot of super glue to the tail and attach the pom pom. Hold it in place for a minute and set aside.

4. Add your ribbon.

I used a few different types of ribbon and twine combinations that best “matched” my jar and candy. I like the jute twine combined with the thin silver string. Tie your ribbon around the jar, just under the lid so it doesn’t interfere with opening and closing.
