Instructions in 7 steps Just paint paper cups in different colours and add chenille wires and wiggling eyes to turn them into cute bunnies. Your Easter hamper is ready!

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Glue, scissors, paintbrush, double-sided adhesive tape, hot-melt glue

And this is how it works:

Step 1

For the purple paper cup, mix the lavender and snow-white acrylic paints in a mixing ratio of 2:1 to obtain a pastel shade. Using a paintbrush, paint the cup with the resulting paint mixture. Allow to dry well out.

Step 2

Cut the yellow cord into four pieces of 9 cm each. Gather these pieces in the middle and stick them on the cup with a large purple pompom to make a nose with whiskers.

Step 3

Cut out a ½ sheet of tissue paper and fold it inhalf, then insert it into the cup - without going over the edge. Now you can fill your cup with the material of your choice.

Step 4

Once your paper cup is filled, take the chenille wire and bend it into two bunny ears. Then gather the tissue paper with the ears in the middle and tie it all together with a piece of cord as if it were a sweet. Spread the excess paper around the edge of the cup.

Step 5

Make a small bow with the ribbon and stick it on a rabbit's ear. If desired, glue the wiggling eyes above the pompom (nose). Repeat all these steps with the other two colours (yellow and eucalyptus).

Step 6

The final step would be to paint the entire wooden tray with white acrylic paint. Allow to dry well out.

Step 7

Glue the double-sided tape along the top edge of the tray, then peel off the protective foil and sprinkle the sticky side of the tape with glitter. To further enhance your masterpiece, you could scatter the rest of the pompoms over the tray.
