Why throw out old party decorations? A generic crepe paper ball can become an Easter bunny with the addition of craft paper ears, eyes, and whiskers, plus pom-poms for the nose and eyes.

To create this spring chicken—and bunny—hot-glue two pom-poms together, using the smaller tool to make the head and the larger for the body. From craft felt, cut out small black and white circles for the eyes and pink petal shapes in two sizes for the bunny's ears. Use premade mini pom-poms for the nose and beak (just trim the orange pom-pom into an oval shape). Separate a one-inch length of embroidery floss into strands, and knot it in the middle for bunny whiskers. Adhere everything with little dabs of hot glue (place the smaller items with tweezers), then nestle the completed figures in a box filled with wheatgrass—found at most farmers' markets and florists.
