Make Adorable DIY Bunny Coasters in 6 Easy Steps

Add a whimsical touch to your coffee table with these simple DIY bunny coasters. Using a felt bunny base and coiled rope sealed with Mod Podge, you can make charming, durable coasters that work great for spring gatherings, Easter, or everyday use. This quick craft is beginner-friendly and customizable — follow the steps below to create your own set.

Materials:

• 7mm rope
• Permanent marker
• Felt
• Hot glue gun (low-heat) & glue sticks
• Scissors
• Mod Podge

Instructions:

1. Print and cut out a bunny printable template sized to the coaster you want.
2. Place the template on the felt, trace around it with a permanent marker, and cut out the felt bunny. Repeat for as many coasters as you plan to make.
3. Starting at the outer edge of the felt circle (the bunny's body), secure the end of the rope with a small dab of hot glue. Carefully coil the rope in a tight spiral, applying hot glue intermittently to hold it in place as you work toward the center.
4. For the ears, glue rope along the outside edge of each ear and then spiral inward to fill the ear shape. Trim any excess rope and secure the end with hot glue so the coil stays flat and neat.
5. Once the rope covers the entire felt surface, brush an even coat of Mod Podge over the whole coaster to seal the rope and felt. This helps lock everything in place and gives a slightly more finished look.
6. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before using your coasters. Place them under lightweight cups to test stability, and enjoy your new décor!

Tips & Variations:

• Use colored rope or paint the rope after sealing for a different look.
• Add a small felt tail or a painted nose/whiskers for more personality.
• Work on a protected surface and use low-heat glue to avoid melting or warping thin felt.
• Hand-clean only; avoid soaking coasters to preserve the rope and glue bond.

These bunny coasters make a sweet, handmade gift and can be made in different sizes to suit mugs, glasses, or teacups.
