Easter Bunny Candy Bottle

First, get the candy cup and glue it to the top of the bottle cap.

Next, you will create the bunny's ears. To do this, you will need to cut out the shapes of the ears. First, cut them out of the white cardboard, card stock, or paper you are using. Next, cut out the same shapes, but smaller, from the pink foam sheet.

Use hot glue to attach the pink pieces of foam to the white pieces of cardboard.

Now you need to attach the ears to the top of the candy cup. You can do this with the hot glue as well.

Next, use hot glue to attach the googly eyes to the side of the bottle. It does not matter which side you put them on as the bottle is identical all the way around (at least if you have this type of bottle). Space them however you like, but just make sure they are both clearly visible on one side of the bottle

Use the black marker to draw on the bunny’s nose and mouth below the eyes.

Cut out a couple of paw shapes from the white piece of cardboard. Hot glue these to the sides of the bottle.

If you want, you can attach a small ribbon or bow to the top of the bunny’s head

You can now carefully uncap the bottle (see the notes section below) and pour in whatever type of candy you want. Your candy bottle bunny is now ready to be given as a gift!

Notes:

While I suggest using hot glue for this project, technically I see no reason why you would have to go with this type of glue. You should be able to use regular Elmer’s glue too if you want. This might make it a more accessible project for younger kids who cannot use hot glue safely.

When should you pour the candy into the bottle? Should you wait until the end of the project, or should you do it at the beginning before you even start crafting the bottle into a bunny?

I do not think it is overly important when you choose to do it, but there are a couple of considerations. If you are planning on attaching the candy cup right to the top of the bottle and discarding the cap for whatever reason, obviously you would have to put the candy in first.

But so long as you are attaching the candy cup to the cap, you should be able to remove the cap or screw it back on at any point during or after the project is completed (this is smarter both for convenience and so that the bunny can be re-used after the candy is eaten).
