Crochet Bunny Wreath (2024)

There are so many fun DIY Easter decorations you can crochet for your home. Projects range from kitchen decor to outside Easter decorations, such as this super cute crochet bunny wreath for your entryway door!

A little over a month ago, I saw an ad for a cute bunny head wreath that was wrapped with a rope type material. It was super cute and I knew I had to crochet one, or several!

I headed to my local Dollar Tree to find a bunny wreath form, but they hadn't set them out yet. In the meantime, I decided to DIY my own bunny wreath frame using a wire coat hanger for the bunny ears.

Then, a couple weeks ago, Claire went to the Dollar Tree with her boyfriend so I asked her to pick-up a few small Easter decorations for me to embellish my crochet bunny wreath. Much to my surprise, she text me a picture of a wire bunny wreath frame! I had her pick up a couple and that's when I decided that I would include instructions in my crochet bunny wreath pattern for both wreath form options.

How to Make a Bunny Wreath

This Easter crochet wreath includes instructions for two bunny wreath form options so you'll first need to choose which option you'll be making.

If you are able to find the cute Dollar Tree Bunny Wreath Form, it's the most cost and time effective option. If not, no worries, you can DIY your own wire bunny wreath form using a small round wire wreath form and an old wire coat hanger!

If you're making your own bunny wire wreath form with coat hanger bunny ears, first, you'll need to make the bunny ears from the coat hanger and attach them to the round wire wreath form.

Once you have your bunny wreath form ready, you'll begin by wrapping the round portion of the wreath with yarn.

Next, you'll crochet bunny ears that fit the wreath option you chose. After you crochet the ears, you'll whipstitch them to the frame.

If you're making a bunny butt wreath, you'll make a yarn pom for a bushy bunny tail and then two crochet feet and attach them.

Lastly, you'll Embellish your Easter bunny wreath with small Easter decorations from the Dollar Store or other craft stores. I shared a photo below of the cute embellishments Claire picked-up from the Dollar Tree for me.

Yarn

Bernat Pipsqueakyarn is the perfect yarn for making a soft and fluffy crochet bunny. I used Bernat Pipsqueak yarn in whitey white to cover the round section of the wreath and make the bunny ears. To crochet the bunny feet, I used one strand of Pipsqueak yarn and one strand of a white worsted weight acrylic yarn, held together as one.

Yarn Substitutions

If you're not a big fan of Pipsqueak yarn, you can substitute with either two strands of a worsted weight yarn or Bernat Blanket Yarn.

If you choose to use either a worsted weight yarn or blanket yarn, you may have to adjust the size of the bunny ears as you crochet them. The finished sizes of the bunny ears are listed in each section to help you easily adjust for the yarn you choose.

Bunny Wreath Form Options

Don't have a Dollar Tree near you to purchase their Bunny Wreath Form? No worries! This crochet pattern includes 2 bunny wreath form options. You can either purchase a Dollar Tree Bunny Wreath Form, OR purchase a 10-12" wreath form and find an old wire coat hanger.

Scroll down and begin with the instructions for the form option you've chosen: Dollar Tree Bunny Wreath Form or DIY Bunny Wreath Form with Coat Hanger Ears.

Dollar Tree Bunny Wreath Form

If you're using a Dollar Tree Bunny Wreath Form, follow the instructions below.

Cover the Round Wire Wreath

Once you've completely covered the round portion of the wreath, fasten off and weave in the tail of yarn along the back side of the wreath.

Adding a Floral Sprig

2.5" Wide Bow from Wired Dollar Tree Ribbon

6" Wide Dollar Tree Deco Mesh Bow

For the purple bow on my DIY Bunny Wreath Form with Coat Hanger Bunny Ears, I used 6" W decorative mesh from the Dollar Tree. I used approximately half of one roll for my bow.

If you're unsure how to make a simple deco mesh bow, on YouTube search "Dollar Tree 6" Wide Deco Mesh Bow". You'll find lots of great video tutorials.

As you can see in the photos below, I used a purple pipe cleaner to secure my deco mesh bow. If you don't have pipe cleaners, you can use a piece of yarn.

I also used two pieces of 2" W satin ribbon approximately 18" L each.
