Today I’m just sharing a simple Easter craft I made last year. Here’s a cute way to decorate your eggs without making a mess with dye, markers, or glue. I put wire Easter bunny ears on my Easter eggs!

Wire Easter Bunny Ears for Eggs
- speckled Easter eggs – I used these eggs.
- dark annealed wire, 22g
- wire cutters
- pliers
First, a warning. I didn’t measure anything. This is one of those crafts that I just fiddled around with until it looked right. Sorry for those of you who like exact measurements.
I started by wrapping the wire around the egg a few times, then cutting it with my wire cutters. HINT: Don’t use your jewelry wire cutters for this project! This annealed wire is much harder and will damage your cutters.
I wrapped one end of the wire around the loops to hold the wire in place.
Then I cut 2 shorter pieces of wire. I twisted one end around the wire loops in front and formed an ear shape. You can make these as tall or as fat as you want. Then I twisted the other end around the loops right next to the first connection.
Again, I didn’t measure so I had extra wire. I just cut it off and bent down the ends with my pliers.
Repeat for the second ear.
So… what do you think?

What is annealed wire?
I think it has something to do with how they heat the wire to make it stronger. It’s a dark wire that I use for crafting. I think there’s a link for it in the post…
The bunny ears are so cute.
Adorable~ I have those speckled eggs, would have never occurred to me to use the wire, but then I don’t have any since I don’t diy. Just adorable!
Too cute!
