DIY Your Own Easter Bunny Candy Jar With Materials You Likely Already Have

There are tons of ways to decorate the home for Easter, but displaying a colorful candy stash in a festive container is arguably the sweetest. Rather than purchasing an overpriced Easter-themed candy jar from a store, why not make your own? By following the advice of one TikToker, you can easily DIY an Easter Bunny candy jar with materials you likely already have. All you need is a plant pot, a large glass jar, bunny ears, and a large craft pom-pom. Just flip the pot upside down and glue the jar onto it. Once you attach the ears to the top of the jar and glue the pom-pom onto the back of it, your candy jar will resemble a large Easter Bunny.

You can add more festive detailing to this DIY holiday decorative jar, such as pastel-colored ribbon or additional pom-poms glued on to resemble bunny feet and arms. To really bring the Easter Bunny theme to life, consider painting a bunny face on to the jar. When it comes time to pour candy inside, put some thought into what you choose to display in the glass jar since the contents will be visible from the outside. This way, the candy can double as yet another festive detail. For example, you could add colorful candy-coated chocolate Easter eggs or Easter-themed jelly beans. Don't be afraid to get creative. When you are done, you may want to use the candy jar as a table centerpiece or decor for your kitchen island. Children and grown-up guests alike will adore the charming decoration.

You can put this DIY Easter decor jar together in a few simple steps. Rather than starting out by gluing your glass jar onto the plant pot as shown above, consider coating the pot in a paint color of your choice first. This extra customization step will make the decor even more festive for the holiday. A pastel blue, pink, or yellow shade would work well for the theme. You may want to use spray paint to make this easier.

After allowing the paint to dry, flip the pot upside down and glue your jar onto it. Use hot glue rather than E6000 for a quicker drying time, which may allow you to complete this project a bit faster. If you do not already have a large glass jar at home, purchase one specifically for this DIY, such as the Folinstall Wide Mouth Apothecary Jar.

After you glue the jar to the pot securely, you can then have some fun adding your Easter Bunny detailing to it. If you are a parent of little ones who celebrate Easter each year, you might already have a bunny ear headband stashed in the house somewhere. Otherwise, these Soft Touch Bunny Ears are an option worth considering. Consider using a black permanent marker to draw a face on the jar, and don't forget to glue a fluffy pom-pom to the back of the pot to act as the bunny tail.
