DIY Dollar Tree Easter Bunny Decor

This cute Easter bunny decor piece is so easy to make, totally customizable, and uses mostly Dollar Tree supplies, which makes it perfect for crafting on a budget.

Materials

  • Dollar Tree bunny-shaped wood door hanger sign the kind that says “Welcome”
  • X-Acto knife or precision craft knife
  • Dollar Tree peel-and-stick wallpaper tiles in the design of your choice
  • Optional hand lettering template
  • Optional Posca paint pens black or color of choice
  • Dollar Tree ribbon
  • Dollar Tree flower
  • Rhinestone embellishment for flower center
  • Dollar Tree pom-pom for bunny tail
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Sandpaper if needed

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Bunny Base

  • Start by removing the wood bead hanger from the top of the bunny. Then, using your X-Acto knife, carefully remove the “Welcome” wording from the front of the bunny sign. It may lift easily depending on the style, but you can also lightly sand the surface if any residue or glue remains.

Step 2: Apply Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

  • Lay your Dollar Tree peel-and-stick wallpaper tiles over the bunny to see how they fit best. Then peel and stick them down, working from one side to the other to avoid bubbles. You can use one design or mix and match different tile patterns for a fun, layered look!

Step 3: Trim the Shape

  • Once the wallpaper is stuck down, use your X-Acto knife to trim around the edges of the bunny shape. Take your time on this step for clean lines—this part really pulls it all together.

Step 4: Add Hand Lettering (Optional)

  • If you’d like to personalize your bunny, you can add a hand-lettered phrase to the front like “Happy Easter,” “Hop To It,” or even your family name. Use a hand lettering template (see my other post for how I do this!) and trace your design onto the bunny, then fill it in with a Posca paint pen. Black stands out great on most wallpaper styles, but any color works!

Step 5: Add the Bunny Tail

  • Hot glue a Dollar Tree pom-pom to the back of the bunny for a fluffy little tail. It’s such a sweet detail that brings the whole look together.

Step 6: Cover the Seam with Ribbon

  • If your wallpaper tiles meet in the middle or don’t quite match up, don’t worry! Just hot glue a strip of ribbon right over the seam for a cute finishing touch. You could even layer multiple ribbons or tie a bow.

Step 7: Floral Finishing Touch

  • Take a Dollar Tree faux flower, hot glue it near the ear or neck of the bunny (wherever it looks balanced), and add a rhinestone or little embellishment to the center for that extra pop of spring sparkle.
