Make your own Easter bunny nest with elements that include faux eucalyptus, carrot bunches, berries, and of course a bunny!

In my ongoing quest to refresh and repurpose what I already have, I’ve given my DIY Easter bunny nest a charming update. This idea first made its way onto the blog back in 2013, and with each new version, I’ve fallen in love with it all over again. It’s been a few years since it last made an appearance in my spring decor, so I thought it was the perfect time to bring it back—fresh, simple, and just as delightful as ever!

Use What You Have

This is one of those quick and easy projects where you can use what you already have. Start by gathering a favorite bowl, basket, or tray, along with any small spring accessories from your stash. Any kind of bunny and greenery will work. Look for sprigs of greenery, berries, or faux flowers to add a fresh touch. With just a few simple elements, you can create a cute and charming Easter display in no time.

Easter Bunny Nest Assembly

1.) Begin with a bowl, basket, or tray. For reference, my bowl measures 13 inches across the top, and it’s 4 inches tall.
2.) Add a riser of some sort, in the middle, so the bunny sticks up and out of the nest. I used a clear glass container turned upside-down.
3.) If desired, cover the riser with Spanish moss. Since my riser was clear, I opted to skip this step.

4.) Between the riser and the edge of the bowl, basket, or tray, tuck in whatever kind of greenery you have on hand. I used my favorite eucalyptus garland. (You may need to trim your garland to fit around the bunny.)
5.) Place your bunny in the center of the nest, on top of the riser. (Get the whimsical bunny with carrot, or a real-life bunny.)
6.) Add carrot bunches, green berries, blueberries, faux eggs, or pretty faux tulips.
