DIY Towel Bunny Instructions

1. Fold the towel into a square

Lay the beach towel flat and fold it in half so it forms a square shape. Starting with a neat square helps the rolls stay even.

2. Roll two opposite sides inward

Take two opposite sides of the folded towel and roll them toward the center so they meet in the middle. Try to keep the rolls firm and even.

3. Fold the rolled towel in half

Once the two sides meet in the middle, fold the entire rolled towel in half. This starts forming the bunny shape.

4. Secure the center with a rubber band

Wrap a rubber band around the middle of the folded towel. This pinches the center and helps define the bunny ears.

5. Bend the ends upward to make ears

Perk the loose ends upward so they look like bunny ears.

6. Add sunglasses

Place a pair of sunglasses on the towel bunny, so that he’s wearing them. This little detail gives the look of a little rabbit headed out for a warm-weather adventure

How to Put Together the Easter Bucket

1. Add paper grass to the bucket

Place paper grass inside a large beach bucket. This gives the contents some lift and helps everything sit nicely in place.

2. Set the towel bunny in the bucket

Place the towel bunny right in the center of the bucket. Position the ears so they stand tall and face forward.

3. Tuck sunscreen into the bunny

Slide sunscreen into the folds of the towel bunny. This keeps it visible and adds to the practical appeal of the basket.

4. Tuck flip flops behind the bunny

Place a pair of flip flops behind the towel bunny so they peek out from the back.

5. Add sand tools

Place shovels, rakes, molds, or other sand tools around the sides of the bucket.

6. Add a small toy

Tuck in a small toy such as a rubber duck. A little water-friendly toy fits perfectly with the overall theme.

7. Attach the printable Easter tag

Print the Easter tag, cut it out, and punch a hole at the top. Thread string through the hole and tie it onto the bucket handle. This finishing touch pulls the whole project together.
