Fold pipe cleaners to form ears and attach to spoons with craft glue. Draw on bunny face with markers, paint or colored pencils. Dip a pencil eraser in pink paint to "stamp" on cheeks.
Make your place settings ear-resistible. Here's how: Iron a square dinner napkin flat then fold in half diagonally into a triangle shape. Starting at the top of the triangle roll the entire napkin. Place an adorable decorated egg right above the center of the roll then gather ends at the top so the napkin wraps around the egg. Tie with ribbon to create ears.
Place candy in the middle of a 10" x 20" piece of burlap fabric. Fold sides then tie fabric at the top with a ribbon. Cut a "V" shape from the center of the excess fabric to create bunny ears.
Fold a crepe paper rectangle in half twice; cut strips a few inches down. Unfold and roll paper into a tube. Tousle the fringe and attach it to an inflated balloon with a dab of glue. Draw squiggly lines with an orange paint pen.
