It's starting to feel a BIT more like Spring outside, and that gets me so excited to start getting ready for Easter. We found these super cute Bunny Jars that's just a fun little happy for your Easter table. You could give these away as teacher gifts or treat your kids to them as a little surprise – nothing fancy but just a little fun.
Supplies You'll Need
- mason jars – $1.25 at Dollar Tree (may be able to find those less if you purchase them in a larger box at Walmart)
- small ceramic or even plastic Easter shapes – $1.25 at Dollar Tree (I was looking for something smaller but the ceramic ornaments were all I could find)
- spray paint
- glue gun
- candy to fill jars with
How To Make This Easy Dollar Tree Easter Craft
Here's how to make these in less than 20 minutes . . .
- Hot glue the mason jar inner lid to the ring to hold it in place
- Hot glue Easter shape onto mason jar (I had to remove the hooks from the ornaments using needle nosed pliers, however if you can find a plastic Easter shape you can skip that step)
- Spray paint the lid and let dry
- Fill jar with candy ~ that's it!
Are you making any special crafts this year for Easter? I'd love to hear what you're up to! You can also join the PPP Easter Pinterest board, and be sure to see how I made these Peeps Easter centerpieces a few years ago as well.
Here are a few other ideas to get you thinking . . .
I'd love for you to join me over on Pinterest (I love that place!) If you have a blog and have done a little fluffing in your home, I’d love to see it, so leave your link in the comments section. Also, if there’s a craft you’ve seen on a website that you’re hoping to make, feel free to share that link as well (I’m always looking for new ideas!)
I usually PAINT my lids first before gluing the nik nak on, AND/OR use E6000 GLUE it’s the best and is used to glue two glass objects together (I made a cupcake tray with two old glass candle holders and glass plates, tough as nails !)
The chalk paint helps to hold on the piece on top of your mason candy jar ! and the E6000 works beautifully ! Also a translucent spray paint in an Easter Color is pretty as well, or if you want a little hidden aspect to it. ! love the idea
Thanks so much for the tips Deborah! 🙂
I know this is a very old post, but for those having glue gun difficulties and the ornaments falling off, switch your glue stick! Skip the cheaper bags and go for the Gorilla Glue brand!
Thanks !
I love this! Could you share what color spray paint you used?
Yes what color spray paint did you use – it’s the perfect color
This is so cute! I can’t wait to try it this year!
I just made one! It’s such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing this great affordable gift idea. I’m going to fill it with small gifts and candy for my sons teachers!! How can I share a picture of my finished product? I need opinions?
I love the paint color! What color did you use?
hey, Just found this and I am in love, fun easy teacher gifts. On;y problem I seem to be having is keeping the bunnies on the jar, I used my extra hot glue gun, but it didn’t seem to do the trick. as soon as my son touched it, it fell off. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hmmm – mine worked with a hot glue gone (but I definitely layered it on, and don’t know that I would trust young kids with it as it may fall off?) I can’t think of any other ways to attach it besides hot glue 🙁
What a fabulous idea!! Can’t wait to try!! http://www.lovesthefind.com
These were so cute I had to share with my Facebook followers. Proof you do NOT have to spend a fortune for stylish seasonal decor!
Thanks so much for sharing Kameela! 🙂
