DIY Bunny Wands – Fairy Wands With Bunny Heads
DIY Bunny Wands are an easy craft project. Use the bunny template. Cut the cardstock by hand. Or use the Cricut to cut multiple bunny heads at once (like I did). Then assemble the bunny heads onto dowels using a hot glue gun. After, add pretty ribbons. Now you have bunny wands to twirl like fairy wands or to use for decorations in vases or mason jars for celebrations.

If you don’t own a Cricut yet get this Cricut Bundle or shop Cricut’s Sale. PRO-Tip Do Not use wired ribbons. Use sewing scissors (this is what I own) to cut ribbons to get a clean edge.
Bunny Head Templates
- In Cricut Design Space – Bunny Head Template (Cricut Access) I made mine 2.48″ x 3″ high and this size Bunny Head Template 3.1′ x 3.75″ (which is a bit larger and my favorite size for 12 dowels.) Both sizes work nicely for fairy wands. These sizes can be adjusted in Design Space (it’s free to sign up and use the program) You can do print and cut files.
- Easter Bunny Faces SVG files
- Set of Bunny Faces SVG files
- Printable – Bunny Head Template PDF files (free printable bunny head template)
- Or purchase cute premade felt bunny heads to add to the dowels.
All these templates can be used for other bunny crafts too! If you don’t have time to make them you can shop Bunny Wands on Etsy! I’m so inspired to make more with other materials.
How To Make Bunny Wands
Instructions
- Get out the craft supplies. If using the Cricut turn on the machine and heat up the hot glue gun.
- Open up Design Space (You can sign up for free if you don’t have it).
- Use the bunny template (or upload your own image or SVG file).
- Place your glitter cardstock paper or other cardstock paper on the mat. Roll it to make sure it’s flat and secure on the Cricut Mat.
If you are not using the Cricut print the template and cut the bunny heads with scissors. And jump to #7 of the instructions. - Select Glitter Cardstock, cut more.
- Following the Cricut prompts cut the bunny head design and remove them from the mat.
- On the back side (wrong side) of the glitter cardstock make a hot glue line.
- Place the dowel onto it and make sure the head is centered. Give it a minute to dry.
- Next, place hot glue on the backside of another bunny head, hot glue and make sure the two bunny heads line up! Let it dry.
- Repeat the process. After you have attached all the bunny heads to the dowels cut the ribbons to 14 inch strips. Cut at least 2 ribbons for each bunny head.
- Tie on the ribbons, slide them down just a litttle and add a good sized dot of hot glue onto the dowel. Quickly slide the ribbon carefully over the dot of hot glue. This will keep the ribbons securely on the dowel. Let it dry. Repeat the process for all the bunny dowels you have assembled.
