How to Make This Cute Bunny Candy Jar for Easy DIY Easter Decor

DIY Easter DecorHow do you celebrate Easter? Last year was the first time that my kids really ‘got’ Easter. I coordinated a small little Easter egg hunt in the backyard and filled their eggs with little toys. Now that they’re another year older, I figured it was time to up my decorating game. I created this simple bunny candy jar that’s a quick and easy DIY Easter decor idea anyone can create at home.

The minute my kids walked in and saw the bunny candy jar, they got excited. It’s these mini moments with my family that I try to cherish the most. I love the idea of having little touches of Easter around my house. They are mini reminders of the upcoming holiday and a fun way to bring new traditions into my home. My kids especially loved the jars because of the gold bunnies on top.

These little jars were perfect for holding MARS® Mixed Mini candies inside. The spring mix is so bright and colorful! I got them at Sam’s Club, which is the destination to get all your Easter goodies. They already have everything in stores so you can stock up for spring and start creating great mini moments like I am.

If you want to create a version of my Bunny Candy Jar, I included the directions below. The thing I love about this DIY Easter decor idea is just how simple it is. I also love that this jar can be customized for your taste and decor preferences. For example, I saw a similar version of this jar where the bunnies were kept white or painted pastel colors. If gold isn’t your thing, you can easily swap in another paint color. Also, if you have trouble finding the bunnies I used, you could easily use lambs, chicks, or even an easter egg instead. I found my bunnies in the toy section of a retail store, but you could also check out your local craft store for other topper options. If you prefer a different type of jar, that is another easy change. Crafting is so fun because there is no ‘right’ way to do it.

I hope you have a fantastic Easter with your family and I’d love to see your bunny candy jars too! Oh, and if you’re looking for a new recipe tradition for your family, check out my Italian Easter cookies, they are so festive and delicious!

What are your Easter traditions? Do you have any DIY Easter decor projects you love?

This Bunny Candy Jar is an Easy DIY Easter Decor Idea

You will need:

Mason Jar
Pastel Paint
Gold Paint
Paint Brush
Plastic Bunny (I found mine in the toy section of a retail store)
Glue
Masking Tape
Ribbon
Gift Tag
Easter Grass
Candy

Directions:

1. Tape around the mason jar, right below the lid. Paint the lid of the mason jar in a pastel color, or the color of your choice. I would suggest two or three coats to ensure the lid is covered well and the color is saturated. As another option, you could use spray paint.

2. Next, paint the bunny using gold paint. You can use spray paint or acrylic paint. I used three layers of acrylic paint, although spray paint probably would have been easier.

3. Once the lid and bunny are both dry, remove the masking tape and glue the bunny to the top of the lid.

4. Add a ribbon bow around the jar right below the lip where the lid attaches. You can add a gift tag or little decoration to the ribbon below the bow.

5. Fill the jar with Easter grass and MARS mini candies.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.
