Easter Treats 2022

I'm finally back to share the rest of my Easter projects this week. I made a dozen of these funny but cute bunny boxes this year with the intent of filling them with mini pizzelle cookies and sharing with friends and family.

The original svg cutting file template for these paver-like boxes is from the Lori Whitlock Shop. I sized the boxes up just a bit and made them deeper so I could fit at least a half dozen pizzelle cookies in them.  Because of their funny paver-like shape, these boxes were easy to assemble and came together pretty quickly. Then, just to dress them up a bit, I gave each bunny a paper bow, assembled using a free cutting file from Birds' Cards.

As things would have it, my pizzelle press refused to cooperate this year, so I went with Plan B and ended up baking butter cookies with sprinkles instead. 

Bunny boxes were filled with cookies and chocolate eggs, then wrapped in cello bags tied with a tulle bow to finish.

Every Easter, I keep an eye out for these mini Lindt gold bunnies because I think they're so adorable! 


This year I was inspired by the fun basket packaging Lindt used for a pair of midsized gold bunnies and decided I would try to make something similar for the mini gold bunnies.


To create the baskets, I used the svg template for a hexagon pop up card purchased from the Lori Whitlock Shop and added scalloped sides and a basket handle. I used the Grassy border die from MFT Dienamics and mini flower and circle punches from Punch Bunch to decorate the sides of the basket. Cutting template for the paper bow is from Bird's Cards.

Want to share the fun Easter goodies I received from my crafty friends this year too. This adorable "Bunny Feet Box" filled with decadent and colorful egg shaped cookies covered with powdered sugar (yum!) was created by my sweet and talented friend Kris. Love how this box looks so cute from both the front and back! You can find the svg cutting file for this cutie over at My Scrap Chick.

My endlessly creative friend Lorna blew me away with these three super cute and amazing Easter baskets!

This candy filled scallop edge yellow basket is beyond cute with this irresistible little bunny and butterfly sitting inside!

This beautiful tulip shaped basket is an all time favorite for me. I love how the petals of the tulip become the sides of the basket and sweet little bunny inside is just too cute! Svg cutting file for tulip basket comes from SVG Cuts.

This third Asian "flavored" basket is hands down the most creative of all. Lorna designed and created this basket to be shared with with her Japanese Bon Dance club friends. To create her kawaii Asian bunny, she added bunny ears and a face to a plastic egg, draped a kimono shaped piece of washi paper around it and gave her a fan! Bunny was then adhered to the bottom of a plastic condiment cup filled with treats. A tall grassy border was wrapped around the condiment cup and a handle embellished with cherry blossoms and a butterfly added to create an amazing basket.
Thank you for dropping by for a visit!

Your bunny head box is adorable and unique. Cookies with sprinkles seem more Eastery than pizzelles so I'm sure the recipients didn't mind the change in your plan. I also was charmed by the twin Lindt chocolate bunnies this year so I got them just for me..not eaten yet...LOL! I love how you made your own mini basket for them. Thank you for showing your Easter crafts. They gave me inspiration for next year! Bunny Hugs!
