Bunny Patch Treats

I love Easter and I know I am completely skipping anything St. Patty's Day related (and I do love St. Patrick's Day!), but I needed an excuse to buy some yummy Easter candy for myself and felt a little crafty so I decided a project was in order.

Plus, I really just liked all of the cute pails in the dollar section at Target today. So, here is what I came up with using my dollar section finds and goodies from the candy aisle. Hope you enjoy!

A great centerpiece for Easter parties or as little goodies for your children and their friends!

Supplies Needed:

• Small Pail/Basket
• Package of Bunny Peeps
• Bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs
• Package of Green Gift Bag Filler
• Package of Bamboo Skewers
• Package of Gummy Carrots
• Craft Foam

Making your Bunny Patch:

• First you need to trim the craft foam to fit the bottom of the pail or basket you have selected. This is what you will place the bamboo skewers in to hold your Bunny Peeps upright. Place the foam in the bottom of the pail once it is the appropriate size.
• Once your foam is in place, trim the bamboo skewers to the appropriate height for the Bunny Peeps to show over the top of the pail.
• After trimming the skewers, place a Bunny Peep on the end of each one. I used two smaller pails and decided two in each pail would be plenty, but the number of bunnies will vary based on your container size and your vision. :)
• The skewers should then be placed in the foam at the bottom of your pail/basket.
• Once the Bunny Peeps are in place, you should fill your pail/basket the rest of the way with the green gift bag filler. (You could also use Easter basket grass, but I like the look of the gift bag filler better.)
• After the "grass" is in place, sprinkle the chocolate eggs and gummy carrots across the top of the pail. I tried to poke a few of the carrots down so it would look like they were in the ground.

Hope you have fun making yours! They are cute and take no time at all. :D
