Easy to Make Easter Bunny Ears Using a Coat Hanger

Making your own Easter bunny ears is a fun and easy craft that can be done with items you probably already have at home. All you need is a wire coat hanger, pliers, hot glue, a wire snipper, and some rope! Keep reading for an easy-to-follow guide to making your own Easter bunny ears.

Materials

  • wire coat hanger
  • wire snips
  • pliers
  • nautical rope from the Dollar Tree
  • scrap fabric in color of your choice
  • hot glue
  • glue gun

Instructions

Disassemble the Coat Hanger

  • Take your coat hanger and untwist is at the curved handle part that is normally used to hang on a pole.
  • Using the wire snips, cut the coat hanger in half in the center of the straight edge portion.
  • Now you have two separate coat hanger halves.
  • It's time to bend each half into an arch shape that resembles bunny ears. Then twist the bottom wire around itself using the pliers to keep it in place.

Add Nautical Rope Detail

  • Using hot glue, attach nautical rope along the top of the coat hanger wires on each Easter bunny ear until they are both covered completely.

Embellish Center of Easter Bunny Ears

  • This is the fun part! Using your scrap fabric, cut out the shape of the inside of the bunny ears. I used a marker to trace them first.
  • Hot glue the rim of the rope-covered bunny ear and lay the fabric pieces on top; being sure to face front of fabric towards the front of the bunny ear. Repeat this process for the other side of the coat hanger and then let them dry completely.
