Easter Craft Ideas

Let’s have a look at some interesting Easter Craft Ideas!

It’s time to relax! Finally, I am having some “spare time”!!!! so I can do what I like most: “arts and crafts”!… and it’s probably a good excuse to eat some chocolates!

What are you doing this Easter?

It would be great to spend time with family and especially if you have small children as they are going to be on “school holidays”!!! You might want to try a new art media, finish a project or you are looking for inspiration? I hope you make the most of this Easter break! Let me know what you are up to! 

In this post, you will find two very easy polymer clay Easter bunny projects and other ideas for Easter arts & crafts to make at home.

I hope you enjoy.

Polymer Clay Easter Craft Ideas

Perhaps you are already into polymer clay yourself? but the children will be getting most of your attention? …. so why not let the kids play with modelling clay while you are making your projects with Polymer clay? 

Modelling clay for kids from Amazon

Make some animal miniatures with your kids with modelling clay. 

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny – Easter Craft Ideas to Sell

For the Polymer clay fanatics (like me), to make this Easter Bunny you will need 5 different polymer clay colors (rose, white, green, black, red, yellow and lavender) Off course you can use any colors you want, so let your imagination fly. 

You also need a tissue blade or polymer clay slicer, a tooth pick and an acrylic roller or a pasta machine

This is a very easy project, we will start making the ears, then the face, feet and body and we will assemble. Follow step by step below:

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Ears

After rolling the rose clay with the acrylic roller or pasta machine cut two same size rectangles with your blade.

do the same with the white clay.

Bend the blade carefully and cut the two pieces of  white clay as above

Add the white clay on top of the rose clay and cut the rose clay around matching with the shape of the white clay but leave a small edge around, so you still see the rose clay.

See the bunny ears completed on top left of the picture below.

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Eyes

Roll the white clay with the acrylic roller or pasta machine. Using a straw cut two circles.

Make a very thin sausage with the black clay and cut two very small pieces of the black sausage and roll it making two small balls. These will be the pupils of the bunny eyes.

Add the small little black balls on top of the with circles. So, you have the eyes.

Polymer Clay Easter Craft Ideas – Bunny Body and Head

Roll the rose clay and make a shape similar to a cylinder but with a large base. See below

Make a small ball with the rose clay for the head and add to the top of the body.

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Face and Feet

First, add the eyes then make a very small ball with the red clay for the nose and cut two circles of the lavender or dark pink clay for the cheeks (the same as you made the white circle for the eyes-cut with the straw) 

We can’t forget the big front teeth!! So, cut a small square of the white clay and cut half of the way.

Add the teeth first, then add the cheeks. Using a toothpick make small holes on the cheeks.

For the feet, cut two pieces as above. I just used my blade.

Add the feet to the bottom of the body.

Add the head on the top of the body.

Polymer Clay Easter egg

Make an “egg shape” using the green clay. 

Make a very thin sausage with the yellow clay.

Add the yellow thin sausage randomly on top of the green egg.

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Arms and Assembly

Make a small sausage with the rose clay and squeeze the ends. Make a cut to form the thumb.

Using the back of a craft knife or acrylic roller smooth the joints of the arms into the body.

Add the ears carefully.

and of course, a little tail. (small rose polymer clay ball) 

There you have it! Easy peasy!

The video below explains this project in greater detail:

Easter Craft Ideas – Polymer Clay Easter Mini Egg Jar

Another idea for Easter is to make your own jar of Easter eggs with a bespoke lid decorated with polymer clay. 

Simple mayonaisse jar

I am going to decorate the lid with polymer clay

Roll the clay through the pasta machine or with an acrylic roller. (not too thin) and cut it slightly bigger than the size of the lid – 1 cm (1/4″) 

Start by turning the clay over the lid edges

finish off cutting the surplus clay with a tissue blade

With a craft knife start to poke the lid covered with polymer clay to make the “grass”

It will take a while, but the result is great, so take your time and enjoy the process. Leave a space for the bunny.

Cut pieces of white polymer clay: make one ball for the bunny head, one triangle shape for the body and two small sausages for the ears.

Add the pieces together as shown above.

Roll a small piece of rose polymer clay and cut two little circles for the cheeks. (you can use a straw to cut the circles)

Add the eyes (two small balls of blue, green or any colour if you prefer), make a small triangle in red polymer clay for the nose 

Add a small pink sausage in each ear (optional), make two small sausages for the arms and two small white dots on the top of the blue eyes.

Make a mini egg with yellow and red polymer clay. Mix them together and roll the clay in a shape as an egg.

Add the egg to the bunny and put the arms around

Add the bunny to the top of the lid and mini eggs to the jar. Bake it as per Manufacturer’s Recommendations time and temperature described in the polymer clay pack.

Add the mini chocolate eggs into the jar and Voilà!

Easter chocolate eggs are not difficult to make and are one of the best Easter craft ideas. It is really fun to make with kids.
