How to Make a Terracotta Pot Easter Bunny

The cutest terracotta pot bunny ever. This Easter craft would be great to do with kids of all ages; even kids under 2 can do the painting if you add a few "touch-ups" when done. This craft is really easy to do in spite of the length of the instructions; you'll whip through them to create your terracotta bunny.

Steps

1
Start by putting glue around the large rim of one terracotta pot.
2
Take the second pot and immediately attach the large rim to the previous one (the second pot is basically upside down on top of the first). This creates the bottom portion of the bunny.
3
Take the third pot and apply glue to the small bottom portion. Place on top of the 2 attached terracotta pots. Leave to dry. (Look at the picture if there is any confusion.)
4
Paint the three pots. Also paint the top inside portion of the top terracotta pot. Let it dry (this doesn't take long). The picture shows the choice of a slightly off-white color instead of a bright white.
5
While the paint is drying, start to cut out the body parts for the bunny. You'll need two ears, two arms, and two feet. Be creative with the paper you choose. An off-white paper and pink and white polka dots are demonstrated here. Ink the edges of the paper with a pink ink pad to give it a softer look. Draw in any fingernails or 'toenails' on the bunny.
6
When the paint is dry, attach the bunny ears to the inside of the top terracotta pot.
7
Attach the top of the arms (shoulders) to the side of the bunny (leave the 'hands' unglued at this time).
8
Attach the feet of the bunny underneath the bottom terra cotta pot.
9
Add a ribbon bow-tie to the bunny if wished. This step is optional If you proceed with it, first attach the ribbon around the 'neck' of the bunny (where the two pots meet). Then create the bow-tie, by cutting the ribbon on diagonals and gluing them together. Then attach the bow-tie on top of the ribbon.
10
Cut out an Easter egg. Glue the bunny hands to the paper egg and the top part of the egg to the terracotta pot.
11
Add wiggly eyes underneath the rim of the terracotta pot.
12
Add a small pink pom-pom as the nose. Draw in the mouth with a black felt pen.
13
Don't forget to add the bunny tail with a larger pink pom-pom on the back.
14
Put cotton balls in the top of the terracotta pot.
