If you enjoy craft projects that involve transforming ordinary household items in extraordinary ways, this DIY Easter craft will be a blast. Following the steps in my video tutorial, you’re going to turn a dishcloth into a cute Easter bunny!
Jump to:
For this project, you are going to need a few simple supplies, including googly eyes, a ribbon, a pom pom, a rubber band, a cotton ball, a small towel, a pair of scissors, hot glue, and a glue gun.
It doesn’t really matter what type of towel you use for this project, but something like a dishcloth that you use to dry your dishes after supper would work perfectly.
Likewise, it doesn’t matter what color the dish towel is, but I would recommend either going with neutral white, any regular bunny color (i.e., brown or black), or a color that is “Eastery,” i.e., light pink or yellow or another pastel hue.
A pattern on the towel is all right, but try not to pick anything that will be too distracting.
Along with the materials and tools lists below, you can view written steps to go with the video. Let’s begin!

How to Make a Cute Easter Bunny Out of a Small Towel
Love crafts where you can repurpose everyday household items in unexpected and creative ways? In this video tutorial, you’ll find out how you can turn an ordinary dish towel into a cute Easter bunny. Watch the video and create your own!
Materials
- Dish towel or other small towel
- Googly eyes
- Ribbon
- Pom pom (this will need to be small enough to be the bunny’s nose, so plan accordingly)
- Cotton ball
- Rubber band
Tools
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Scissors
Instructions
To get started on this DIY Easter bunny project, take your dish cloth and lay it out flat in front of you. Then fold it in half along the diagonal line from corner to corner so that it forms a triangle shape.
- Starting at the folded edge, begin rolling the triangle up. Keep going until it is completely rolled.
- Fold this rolled-up shape in half from end to end.
- The next step is the hardest one to describe in words, but it is not difficult to carry out.
- With the rolled-up shape folded in half as described above, take one hand and pinch it together in the middle. Holding that hand in place, pull the two free ends upwards with your other hand. These will be the bunny’s ears.
- Now, pull those slightly backwards over the rolled-up section underneath. That section underneath is going to be the bunny’s body. The little bit which is now protruding in front of the ears will be the bunny’s head.
- Using a rubber band, section off the head from the rest. The rubber band should be looped just in front of the bunny’s ears.
- If you need to, rearrange the ears, pulling gently up on them to make sure they are sitting as you want them to. You can also check the head and body over to make sure you are happy with them.
- Obviously, a rubber band does not give the bunny a very “finished” look, and it is not all that appealing aesthetically. For this reason, you are going to hide it. The way that you can do this is simply to wrap a ribbon around and around the rubber band as many times as necessary in order to conceal it from view. Then, tie it off with a nice little bow.
- Now, you simply need to add the bunny's features. Glue the googly eyes to the face along with the small pom pom which will be the nose. In the back, attach the cotton ball to serve as a tail.
- Now your cute bunny made out of a dish towel is complete! Try making some friends for him to play with, and maybe use different colors of dish cloths and ribbons to vary them up a bit and give them each an individual character.
