These DIY Easter bunny egg hunt bags are an easy, frugal, and reusable solution for your next Easter egg hunt. Kiddos love them and you can color-code them for each kid so there is no confusion on what bag belongs to whom.

We let our kids pick out their bags and ears but feel free to skip that step. Full disclosure: it has been difficult explaining to the youngest that the bunny ears are not for wearing. If I had it to do again, I’d probably pick up an extra pair for them to play with.

How many egg hunts do your kids participate in every Easter? Ours get to do a minimum of 3 and some years it’s more like 5 or 6. Usually all of the kids simply get a plastic grocery bag to run around collecting eggs but this year I wanted to do something different and reusable.

When you’re on a tight budget it is easy to believe that you can’t have any fun, especially around the holidays. That’s why I love Dollar Tree so much. It allows us to still make the holidays special for our family without totally blowing our budget.

If you’re looking for budget-friendly fillers for this year’s Easter baskets they are definitely your best friend. Bonus tip: when you have multiple kiddos, their multi-packs (which are still totally $1) let you fill each child’s basket for pennies!

DIY Easter Bunny Egg Hunt Bags Materials

Pastel Tote Bags
Foiled Bunny Ears Headbands
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Colorful Pipe Cleaners
Pompoms
Assorted Googly Eyes
Scissors

Step 1

First, remove the tags from your tote bag and from your bunny ears.

Step 2

Next, add glue to the back of your bunny ears headband and attach it to the front of your tote bag. Make sure the bottom of the headband ends are touching. This creates your bunny head.

Step 3

Now pull out 2 pipe cleaners in the color of your choice.

Step 4

Cut the pipe cleaners in half and place one to the side. You only need 3 pipe cleaner halves for each bag.

Step 5

Then twist the pipe cleaners together in the center. You should have 3 “whiskers” on either side of the twist.

Step 6

Add a dab of glue to the back of the twisted center and press firmly to the center of your bunny head.

Tip:

After the glue has cooled slightly, you may need to spread your whiskers slightly.

Step 7

Next, attach a pompom to the center of your whiskers with hot glue.

Step 8

Lastly, glue on your googly eyes as pictured above and you’re done.

How stinking cute are these DIY Easter bunny egg hunt bags? They seriously come together in minutes and, of course, don’t break the bank. Those are the best kinds of crafts! I’ll be sharing more budget-friendly Easter tips and crafts throughout March to help you rock your holiday while saving money.

When is the last time you gave your accessories an update for spring? Spring has always held a special place in my heart fashion-wise. When you’re on a budget and trying to get out of debt, though, it is not a luxury you’re taking.

Of course, it’s hard to justify purchasing even a new Easter dress when the old one still fits fine. I’ve been wearing mine for 5+ years now, except when I was 7 months pregnant with my youngest that is.

Growing up, spring was the one time a year I knew I was getting a new dress. Every year we got new Easter clothes, not hand-me-downs from yard sales.

Even if we couldn’t afford to buy the clothes, my mom would somehow find some gorgeous fabric and make me a new dress. The dresses were always bright pastels and so pretty. I couldn’t wait to walk into church with my new frills each season.

That is probably why I still get that itch to freshen up my wardrobe every spring. Instead of foregoing the tradition altogether, I am simply finding budget-friendly ways to do it.
