Bright colors seriously light me up. If I had my way, my home would look akin to a brightly colored candy store. It’s not just the color but the feeling that it evokes. Bright colors create a cheerful and sunny environment that brightens up the space and your mood.

Fun and colorful items shouldn’t be limited to the kiddos. Turn the tables this year and add that brightness to your Easter decor too. When choosing the pompoms to add to your bunny, keep the colors of Peeps and plastic eggs in mind.

I didn’t use any of the red, brown, or black pompoms. It simply brings that brightness and vibrancy down. Instead, stick with pink, purple, blue, green, and orange. I also added some white pompoms to mine but that’s entirely optional. Do what speaks to you.

Pompom Bunny Decor Materials

Empty Box (12×8” or larger)
Quick Dry Tacky Glue (or E6000 if using on front door)
1 cm Assorted Pompoms
Scissors
Glitter Ribbon of Choice
Binder Clips

Step 1

First, cut any tape on your box and dismantle it so that it is flat.

Step 2

Next, cut apart your box so that the 2 main sections are separated.

Step 3

Pull one cardboard piece in front of you and draw your bunny. Start with a large circle on the bottom. Then draw an oval overlapping the top of the circle. Lastly, add your ears to the top.

Step 4

After drawing the bunny, cut it out of the cardboard.

Step 5

Then use your bunny cutout as a stencil to trace an identical bunny on the second piece of cardboard.

Step 6

Again, cut your bunny out of the cardboard.

Step 7

Cover one cardboard bunny in glue after both bunnies are cut out.

Step 8

Next, cut a piece of ribbon and place it folded over in the glue at the top of the cardboard bunny between the ears.

Step 9

Then firmly place your remaining cardboard bunny on top of the one covered in glue.

Step 10

Attach binder clips around the edges of the sandwiched cardboard bunny to hold them together while they dry.

Step 11

Allow your glue to dry at least an hour before moving on (24 hours for E6000).

Note:

I let my glue sit overnight to ensure that even the center area was dry before taking off the clips.

Step 12

After the glue is dry, remove your binder clips.

Step 11

Open your pompoms and add a line of glue along the bottom edge of your bunny.

Tip:

I started by trying to spread the glue around the bunny and attaching the pompoms. That method doesn’t work as well as adding a thick line of glue to press the pompoms into.

Step 12

Start adding pompoms in a random order to the line of glue. The only rule I followed was that 2 colors were not right next to each other (if possible).

Step 13

Continue adding lines of glue and pompoms to your cardboard bunny working from the outside to the inside.

Step 14

After your bunny is covered in pompoms, set a heavy book or similar on top and set aside to dry.

Tip:

Again, if you use E6000 allow 24 hours for it to dry completely.

Step 15

Lastly, glue ribbon around the entire edge of your pompom bunny and allow it to dry completely before displaying.

This pompom bunny decor for Easter looks like a holiday themed gum ball display and I love it! Everything about it screams fun and cheerful which is just what you need after the dreariness of winter. Brighten up your walls on a budget and get ready for Easter with this easy and inexpensive tutorial.

Of everything that could drive you crazy about being a mom, it’s always the little things that seem to be the worst, right? For me, it’s the kiddos messing up my lip balm. I don’t mind them using it if they ask and then hand it back to me to close when they’re done. Of course, that’s not how it goes most of the time.

My kids are constantly getting into my lip balm in my purse. I get super annoyed grabbing my Burt’s Bees and finding it messy and destroyed because little hands got to it. Part of the problem is they don’t twist the balm back down after they use it. Instead, they smash the lid back on and slip it into my bag.

These candy flavored homemade lip glosses are stored in small lidded pots instead of twist tubes. That makes them more kid friendly plus the containers are reusable. No more destroyed lip balm in your purse. Let your kiddos have their own lip gloss and leave yours alone.

Candy Flavored Lip Gloss Materials

Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly
Shimmery Cosmetic Grade Mice Powder
Candy Flavor Oil (I used Root Beer and Watermelon.)
Wooden Popsicle Sticks
Small Containers for Mixing
Small Lidded Containers

Step 1

First, add a small amount of cocoa butter petroleum jelly into 1 container per flavor you are making.

Step 2

Next, add some cosmetic grade mica powder on top of the petroleum jelly.

Note:

I chose to use different colors for the different flavors. This is completely optional. You can use 1 color for all of the flavors although the candy flavor oil may change the color when mixed in.

Step 3

Stir your mica powder into the petroleum jelly with a wooden popsicle stick until it is well combined.

Step 4

Add in 5-10 drops of your candy flavoring oil after your mica powder is mixed into your petroleum jelly. Then mix the oil into your lip gloss thoroughly.

Step 5

Lastly, after you’ve mixed your lip gloss, scoop them into the small lidded containers.

Step 6 (Optional)

Top your container lids with stickers or cabochons to label the flavors.

Is it really kid-friendly if it’s not delicious? Um, no. This candy flavored homemade lip gloss recipe has it all. It moisturizes dry lips and has a hint of shimmer. It smells and tastes delicious plus it’s stored in a totally kid-friendly container too! These make great party favors, stocking stuffers, or basket stuffers for kids because you can whip up a large batch in no time at all.
