Easter Chick and Bunny SweeTARTS Crafts

Spring is here which means that Easter is quickly approaching too! I love decorating my house with the bright colors of Spring and making fun crafts too. If you’re also like me, you love the delicious assortment of Easter candy that is available too. I had so much fun making Bunny and Chick Egg Cups to hold my favorite candy treats – SweeTARTS Soft Bites Bunnies, Sour Bunny Gummies, Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies and Soft & Chewy Ropes! The egg cups are perfect to have on display at home or to give as gifts to loved ones. How to make Bunny Egg Treat Cups

1. Apply glue to the middle of each button and place the bottom of the Easter eggs on top, pressing down firmly until secure. Set aside. 2. Cut out 2 oval shapes from the white foam paper, approximately 2 1/2 inches long. This will be the face of the bunnies. Cut out 2 heart shapes from the white foam board, about 2 inches across and 2 inches long. Apply hot glue to the pointy ends of each heart and lay the eggs on top. (The round parts of the heart will be the feet). Press down firmly and hold for 10-15 seconds. Set aside. 3. Add 2 adhesive eyes to each oval shaped face. Apply a glue dot in the middle of the face for the nose. Place a mini pink pom pom onto each glue dot and press down firmly. For the whiskers, use hot glue to attach the pipe cleaner strips (2 on each side of the nose). For the mouth, draw the letter “J” and then a backwards “J” on top. Set aside. 4. For the tail, apply hot glue to the back of each egg. Press a medium white pom pom into the glue and hold firmly for 10-15 seconds. 5. Cut out 4 bunny ears from the pink foam board, 2 inches long. Attach 2 ears to the back of each face with glue dots. 6. Apply hot glue to the very bottom of each face and attach to the back of each pink Easter egg cup. Hold and press firmly for 10-15 seconds. 7.

When picking up Easter candy at the store, I like to grab SweeTARTS Soft Bites Bunnies, Sour Bunny Gummies, Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies and Soft & Chewy Ropes- they are delicious and affordable to buy when you have to fill up those Easter baskets or Easter eggs. Plus, they contain no artificial flavors or colors. My favorite is the SweeTARTS Soft Bites Bunnies, it’s got a soft gummy texture but melts in your mouth! It’s the perfect candy to fill up the Easter Bunny and Chick Egg Cups you just made! Have a Hoppy Easter!
