Nothing says Easter more than a cute, cuddly, cotton
ball craft! So these Easter crafts for kids all use cotton
balls as a major component. So you get the cute,
cuddly, element that your Easter crafts all need! Enjoy
these Easter crafts for kids using cotton balls.
Materials Needed:
• Empty tin vegetable can, washed and dried
• Liquitex Basics Gesso
• Large paint brush
• 45-50 cotton balls (couple of handfuls)
• One-half of a sheet of black felt
• Two medium wiggle eyes
• Small black pom pom
• Eight-inch piece of coloured ribbon
• White craft glue
Method:
• First, parents may need to use a piece of sandpaper
or an emery board to file off any sharp edge around the
opening of the can.
• Paint the outside of the can with one coat of Gesso.
This will help the glue stick to the can as well as provide
a white background in case your little ones leave any
gaps between cotton balls. Allow to dry.
• Glue cotton balls onto the can, start at the bottom
and work your way around the can. Then move up a
layer and go all the way around again. Repeat this
process until can is completely covered.
• From the black felt, cut out two ears (the shape of a
capital letter D without the middle cut out) and two
hooves. The hooves are just two small squares, round the
edges of one end and cut a small triangle at the
bottom for the toe.
• Glue ears and feet in place.
• Glue on wiggle eyes.
• Glue on pom pom for nose.
• Tie a piece of ribbon into a bow. Trim the ends and
glue below the nose.
