Cute Little Bunny Clothespin Craft - Perfect for Easter & Springtime

Cute Little Bunny Clothespin Craft - Perfect for Easter & Springtime

So it's Saturday night and I'm officially painting little bunnies on clothespins. While that may sound silly, these little cuties are just too cute not to share! This super easy craft project is perfect to help celebrate Easter or just spring time in general!

You probably already have everything you'll need to make these little cuties in your house already and since these are so easy to make, get the little ones and have them help you out! You'll just need to grab clothespins, white paint, a black marker, a pink marker, and some coffee to help fuel your creativity (obviously optional, but totally necessary for me). That's all!

You'll begin this simple project by painting your clothespin white.

After the paint has dried, draw on a tiny pink line on each "ear" (the pinch-able part of the clothespin).

Now you'll add the whiskers on with the black marker, with no exactness. You want them to look wispy!

The final step is drawing a little 6 for each eye ball, one the correct the direction and another horizontally flipped.

That's all! Now you have these cute little bunnies to use as you please! I think I'll clip mine onto a bag of delicious treats for a few friends. How will you use your cute little bunny clothespins?

Funny Bunny Donut Pops: A Delicious and Silly Easter Treat

I'm a bit of a bunny lover. I mean what's not to love about little fuzzies that hop around and look adorable? Their little tails look like cotton and their ears are just so floppy. Plus, there's a pretty cool bunny that only comes around Easter that kids seem to like... I guess you could say I just like Easter themed things, since pastels and bunnies are pretty much two of my favorite things in the world.

With my love for Easter and the fact that I'm a blogger, I feel like it's a pretty obvious fact that I enjoy decorating for Easter (or any other holiday for that matter); so as you can imagine we have a little bunting banner hanging in our living room, a few bunnies of all different sizes and colors gracing our counter tops, and we may even have a few decorated eggs in the house.

And if you've been to the blog before, you know I love to play with my food. So while I want to share a ton of fun Easter/spring themed projects with you (and plan to share a few more soon), today I'm sharing a way to make some creative, silly, and delicious Easter themed donut pops. These silly little bunnies are so easy to make you'll probably want to ask the kiddies in the home to help you out.

Pink Marshmallows
Marshmallow Cream
Candy Eyes
Toothpicks

These are so, so easy to make. You'll begin by removing the ears from the White Peep Bunnies (or cutting a white marshmallow in half and using it as the ears). Break a toothpick in half and place half inside the ears and the other half into a donut.

Next you'll tear off a small piece of pink marshmallow and place a small amount of marshmallow cream onto the "back" of the nose and then place it in the center of the donut.

Once you have the nose in place, you'll want to put marshmallow cream on the back of the eyes and position them on the donut above the nose. (This is so easy, it's comparable to playing with a Mr. Potato Head toy!).

Next tear off a small piece of the white peep (or marshmallow) and stick the other half of the broken toothpick halfway into it and the other end of the toothpick should be placed on the booty of your bunny, giving your little silly faced bunny a tail!

Place a candy stick into the bottom of the donut, continue making bunnies until you have a whole family, and your little funny bunnies are finished!

Not only are these cute little desserts delicious, they will make you giggle with their funny faces each and every time you look at them! You don't want to celebrate Easter without a dozen of these bunnies on your table so be sure to grab the supplies today!

So now that I've shared a super cute little dessert idea you can make all spring long, what kind of fun do you have planned for Easter Sunday?

It's "warming up" a bit, which means Spring is on it's way! In Florida we actually had two pretty cold days but now we are seeing temps in the 70's and the sun is staying up longer which is pretty much heavenly. This season is full of blossoming flowers and super fun trends, life comes bouncing back into the world and really, what is there not to love about Spring? I know it's snowing in some parts of the country, but hold on - Spring is on it's way!

 Beauty tips and tricks to help you achieve a beautiful, fresh look - all super affordable and sure to make you feel absolutely stunning! Plus, the secret to whiter teeth in just 3 days!

I'm bringing out my shorts, skirts, and dresses now... there's just something about the perfect mini-dress, am I right? I'm also majorly crushing on all the "in" colors of this season, with shades of berry and marsala gracing the make up aisle I'm just absolutely giddy! Plus with freckles being "trendy" and Colgate® Optic White® Express White helping me achieve whiter teeth in just 3 days*, just by brushing- I'm all set to rock a beautiful, fresh new look this spring!

Today I'm sharing beauty tips and tricks to help you achieve a beautiful, fresh look this spring - all super affordable and sure to make you feel absolutely stunning! With everything easily found at Walmart, there's no reason not to spoil yourself a little bit this Spring!

1. Get Your Scrub on, Exfoliate! - Exfoliating is key to the "fresh, new" look. Don't over do it, but be sure to scrub your face well every single night! I found this little sponge in the beauty aisle and have been using it to make sure that my pores are extra clean and that my skin is happy! It's easy to exfoliate, just scrub and make sure to remove all make up, dry skin, etc. Be sure to apply a moisturizer after you exfoliate to keep your skin in check!

2. Nail it with a Mani-Pedi! - Painting your nails is trendy ever season, but this year I'm seriously in love with all the nude colors and dark deep mauve shades being so trendy! There are so many shades of "nude" nail polish, who would have thought? I decided on two shades that were neutral yet gorgeous and totally nailed my "at home" mani-pedi like a pro!

3. Add Some Color to Those Lips! - Adding a little bit of stain and gloss to your lips is going to be extra gorgeous this season! With shades of Marsala and Berry being the most trendy lip colors, I wanted to grab every single lip color in the aisle. I settled on a berry lip stain and a very interesting shade of mauve lip gloss to go over the top. I usually just wear a little bit of lip balm so adding some color is a huge beauty adjust for me, but it's a fun and funky one that I'm having a blast with!



4. Let Your Eyes Do The Talking! - While bright colors are super fun to work with, there's just something timelessly beautiful about a fairly neutral eye palette. Luckily, this season colors that compliment many skin tones are all the rage - with neutral shades of eyeshadow being the trendiest, it's easy to let your eyes do the talking!



5. Being Beautiful is Easy with BB Cream! - I've always been a concealer/foundation type of girl, until I found BB Creams. I've fallen in love with this creamy beauty balm that offers the same coverage as your moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, skin treatment, concealer, and foundation - all packed into one tiny little tube. It's pretty much a beauty blessing!



6. Whiten Up with Colgate® Optic White® Express White! - I saved the best beauty tip for last here, ladies. This toothpaste is life changing! Since it offers 2 times more of the professionally recommended whitening ingredient than Optic White Sparkling Mint toothpaste, Colgate® Optic White® Express White packs a powerful whitening clean that can't be compared! My teeth whitened in just 3 days and they feel so incredibly clean, I literally couldn't ask for a better reason to be smiling this Spring!
