How to Make an Easy Easter Bunny Craft with Candy
The first step will be to get your bunnies cut out on your Cricut machine using the free Easter bunny SVG cut files.
For those using a Cricut or other cutting machine, scale your bunny to 6.5 inches high by 3.8 inches wide or your preferred size. Don’t go too small, though, or you won’t be able to add very many M&Ms.
If you are hand-cutting, go ahead and use the pre-sized PDF files. This craft is an easy enough Easter craft for kids to make with a little help from adults.

- Cut out your free Easter bunny templates. These templates include a front and back to your bunny plus two circles which are to be cut out in cellophane.
- Bring the two cellophane circles together and add scotch tape around the edges. It’s a good idea to be generous and overlap the tape. Be sure to leave a little space open to add your candy.
- Once you have added in the candy, close the cellophane complete with tape. Trim around the tape carefully to eliminate jagged edges.
- Place your bag of candy on top of the Easter bunny template silhouette piece, and add a few dots of hot glue to the base to hold the candy bag in place.
- Add the second Easter bunny template piece with the circle cut out on the top over the candy bag, and secure it with hot glue.
- Use a pompom to complete your bunny with a little fluffy tail. You can also cut out tiny paper bows to dress up your bunny even more!
