How to Craft Adorable Okra Bunny Ornaments for Spring Delight

Like gentle creatures born from the earth’s springtime whispers, these okra bunny ornaments sway with grace.

Each pod, painted white and crowned with floppy ears, dances in the breeze, a tale of new beginnings woven with raffia and ribbon, inviting the spirit of the garden into your festive moments.

Materials Needed

  • 8–10 dried okra pods (long and straight)
  • White acrylic paint
  • Pink and white felt or foam (for ears)
  • Raffia or straw
  • Green ribbon
  • Small googly eyes or black paint
  • Yellow craft feathers or felt
  • Hot glue gun or eco-friendly craft glue
  • Twine or string (6-8 inches per ornament)
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Select your dried okra pods and paint them white to give them that fluffy bunny look.

Then lay them out to dry on a sunny windowsill, letting the paint set like fresh spring snow.

Step 2: Cut pink and white felt or foam into ear shapes, about 2 inches long and glue them to the top of each pod, with the pink inside peeking out for that classic bunny charm.

Step 3: Glue small googly eyes or paint black dots near the top, adding a tiny yellow feather or felt piece below for a beak or nose to complete the face with a playful smile.

Step 4: Tie a green ribbon into a bow around the neck area of each pod, securing it with glue for a festive touch that ties the look together.

Step 5: Create a mini hat with raffia or straw, twisting it into a small circle or cone, and glue it atop the ears, angling it for a whimsical effect.

Step 6: Attach a loop of twine at the top for hanging. Hang your bunnies on a tree, porch, or gift package, and let their springtime spirit hop into your heart.

Tips:

I crafted these with my kids for Easter, and they loved mixing ear sizes for a quirky bunny family!

If pods are too brittle, seal them with varnish first, and use natural materials like raffia from your garden. Then add tiny pom-poms for tails if you want extra fluff.
