Read on to discover some fresh ideas and get ready to hop into crafting with these 20 Easter wood crafts that are sure to impress.
Salvaged Wood Rustic Sign
At the top of the list is a craft that’s both simple and creative, requiring minimal woodworking skills but a wealth of imagination. If you have an old piece of wood lying around, waiting to be repurposed, this project is perfect for you! Alternatively, head to your local junkyard or lumber store to find a piece of reclaimed timber. Once you’ve treated the wood with a coat of oil, decorate it with the dropcloth eggs you crafted yourself.
Porch Bunny Fence
There’s nothing quite like creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests by transforming your porch into a charming welcome mat. For those who adore farmhouse style, this rustic bunny-themed decor is sure to delight. The key to bringing this whimsical idea to life lies in crafting the bunny silhouettes themselves. This process is surprisingly straightforward, requiring only basic cuts with either a jig saw or miter saw.
To streamline the process and make the most of your time, consider clamping multiple boards together using G-clamps before making your cuts.
Faux Wood Easter Signs
These paper faux wood Easter signs might be a minor cheat, but their charm is undeniable. The unique selling point of this craft lies in its reliance on paper alone, eliminating the need for any power tools. Who says wood can’t be reimagined? A crucial component of this project is the wood grain-patterned cardstock and bone folder, available here and here. Simply set up a cozy crafting session in front of your favorite show and let these signs submit to your folding skills.
What’s more, you don’t have to reserve these beautiful faux wood creations for Easter only. They’re versatile enough to be enjoyed throughout the year, with the added convenience of easily replacing the central message.
Pallet Wood Spring Bunny Sign
Transforming a pallet board into an Easter-worthy wall hanging is a breeze! By incorporating pastel colors and a bunny silhouette, you can create a charming rustic piece for your home. Start by gathering the necessary materials: a hammer, nails, and seven 2×4 planks (depending on the size of your desired sign). For painting, an acrylic set will suffice. To ensure optimal paint adhesion, lightly sand the wood surface with high-grit paper before applying color.
This simple step removes any stray particles and yields a smooth canvas for your creative expression.
DIY Wood Carrots
Add a touch of whimsy to your home decor with these charming wooden carrots. Versatile and easy to create, they’re perfect for scattering throughout your space – whether that’s the yard or a cozy nook indoors. And don’t worry if you’re just starting out in woodworking; this project is an excellent introduction to the craft. All you’ll need are some basic tools like a miter saw or jigsaw and a steady hand to make precise diagonal cuts.
With these simple skills, you can confidently take on more complex projects and expand your creative horizons.
Reclaimed Wood Easter Bunny
Bring whimsy to your home by placing this charming wooden Easter bunny on your porch, in your backyard, or even serving as a delightful sentinel in the corner of your living room. Wherever you decide to station him, he’s sure to infuse your space with joyful Easter spirit.
To create this unique piece using reclaimed wood planks, you’ll need to first cut out a bunny silhouette and then attach the planks to it using strong wood glue (link).
Once the glue sets, simply trim away any excess material, and you’re left with a one-of-a-kind decorative treasure that’s sure to delight.
Farmhouse Easter Blogs
One technique that’s perfect for any time of year is using wooden blocks as a canvas for words. The only thing that changes is the font and style you choose to use. I’m particularly fond of the distressed white look. This method is especially useful if you have reclaimed wood lying around that needs a purpose. If you don’t have decor stamps, there’s another way to achieve the desired effect.
Simply print out your chosen words in a font you like, then use a craft knife to carefully carve out the letters, leaving a stencil behind. Use this stencil to lightly trace the design onto the wood with a pencil, and finally, add color with paint.
Chunky Bunnies Square Figurines
I’m fascinated by projects that reimagine everyday concepts in innovative ways. These chunky bunny figurines do just that, departing from the conventional approach to create something truly unique. Rather than carving a traditional bunny shape, you bring a wooden block to life with decorative elements. The process involves two key components: crafting the whiskered nose and creating fabric ears.
To achieve the nose, you’ll need small wooden balls and some wire – a straightforward combination that yields impressive results. In contrast, the fabric ears are carefully hand-sewn before being attached to the figurine. This delightful project is remarkably quick to complete and offers a sense of accomplishment that can be enjoyed for years to come.
Reclaimed Wood Easter Eggs
If you’re still feeling inspired by the reclaimed wood Easter bunny we featured earlier, this next project might be right up your alley. The Easter egg shape is actually quite a bit simpler to create than the bunny, making it a great option if you felt a little intimidated by the previous tutorial. This time around, you’ll be adding some delightful pastel colors using acrylic paints to give your wood decoration a playful touch.
These adorable eggs would look charming on your porch, but they’d also make a lovely addition to any room in your home – consider making two of them for a matching pair!
Handmade Wooden Bunnies on Marble
When looking for inspiration, it’s not uncommon to find creative ideas in unexpected places – like a homewares store. One clever crafter recently discovered that a wooden bunny figurine priced out of reach sparked an idea to create her own version. Undeterred by the hefty price tag, she set out to replicate the design using marble slabs, a jigsaw, and affordable wood. With minimal materials and some elbow grease, she successfully created her own wooden bunnies at a fraction of the cost.
This DIY triumph showcases the power of creative problem-solving and resourcefulness – and serves as a reminder that sometimes the best ideas come from reimagining familiar things.
Easter Bunnies from Scrap Wood
Give your scrap wood bunnies a fresh twist by adding a pop of color with pink pom-poms! These adorable additions can instantly elevate the charm of these delightful creatures. Imagine customizing them for each member of your family, incorporating their favorite colors into the ears and fluffing up the pom-poms to add an extra layer of texture.
It’s a simple yet thoughtful way to make these bunnies truly special – perfect for any room in the house, especially children’s bedrooms where they can serve as a fun and personalized touch.
DIY Negative Space Wooden Sign
The list may be filled with signs, but that’s only because they’re a breeze to create and offer so much value. One standout example is the negative space sign inspired by a bunny head, which turns out remarkably professional despite its simplicity.
To make this design, start by crafting a wooden base, then paint everything except for your bunny head silhouette shape. The result may look intricate, but the process is surprisingly straightforward.
Next up, get creative with a custom flower headband for your bunny friend using felt fabric. While you can buy pre-made ones online, I think it’s more fun to craft one yourself and make it a DIY project.
Negative Space Bunny Family
Transform your home with a whimsical DIY project that combines the negative space technique with a touch of Easter charm. Create a distressed ‘Hoppy Easter’ sign featuring bunny silhouettes and adorable bows, reminiscent of a vintage Easter card. To achieve this weathered look, start by painting the sign using chalk paint (I recommend trying out [this popular brand](https://example. com/)).
Once dry, use high-grit sandpaper (available at most hardware stores) to gently wear away certain areas, revealing the underlying surface. This simple yet effective technique will give your sign a unique farmhouse-inspired aesthetic that’s sure to delight. And if you love this look for Easter, I’m confident you’ll also appreciate its timeless charm during Christmas seasons.

Wood Slice Easter Ornaments
Embracing the versatility of this craft, I’ll refer to these Easter ornaments as ‘seasonal sentiments.’ This name not only captures the essence of the pastel color palette often associated with spring holidays like Easter, but also highlights the technique’s adaptability for decorating any time of year. The core concept is straightforward: take pre-drilled wooden slices (available here) and infuse them with a word that holds personal significance.
Inspirational words such as ‘joy,’ ‘love,’ ‘hope,’ or even ‘chocolate’ beautifully illustrate life’s fundamental values, making these ornaments a thoughtful way to celebrate any occasion.
Carrot Pallet Sign
For a quick and easy DIY project that’s perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm to your home, look no further than this simple wooden pallet sign. This design is ideal for using up leftover wood scraps, and the best part is that it requires zero woodworking skills. To create this charming sign, start by crafting the carrot itself from cardstock. Then, attach it to the board with a small amount of wood glue. Finally, wrap thick jute twine around the board to emphasize its rustic appearance.
I’m absolutely smitten with how this project turns out!
Ombre Easter Wood Board
Whether you’re embarking on a home renovation or simply looking for a creative outlet, this DIY project is an excellent choice. Its requirements are minimal – just a few long wood planks and some basic crafting supplies. Perhaps you’re replacing your fence, re-boarding your home, or building a treehouse; in any case, this craft is perfect for anyone seeking to add a touch of personal flair to their space.
The subtle ombre effect on this sign creates visual interest without overwhelming the senses, while the playful pom-pom tails provide a delightful finishing touch. To replicate the look, you’ll need to create your own pom-poms using a simple maker. This project is ideal for those who enjoy crafting and are seeking a fun, low-commitment activity.
Rustic Wooden Log Bunny
When it comes to Easter décor, garden figurines are often top of mind. But let’s not forget about this charming log bunny figurine! Made by strategically overlapping circles to bring the rabbit to life, it’s a clever way to repurpose wood remnants from your yard or purchase them pre-cut from online retailers like [link] or local craft stores. To ensure your wooden friend withstands the elements, consider applying a clear enamel-like finish [link], keeping the wood protected and looking great.
Create an Easter Bunny Tree Home
Imagine a whimsical setting where children embark on an Easter egg hunt, convinced that the Easter bunny resides within. This project captivates me due to its unique blend of storytelling and visual appeal. A key element is the arched doorway, effortlessly crafted using a jig, featuring a hollow bunny head at the top – perfect for filling with black mesh to create a realistic touch.
To add an air of authenticity, you can either use fake wooden door fixings, painted silver, or venture to your local junkyard in search of genuine metal door hardware. I’m confident that your little ones will be instantly smitten with this enchanting scene.
Rustic Storage Crates
If you’re looking for a creative way to store items or create unique hunting baskets for Easter egg hunts, consider crafting rustic crates. These DIY woodcraft projects are ideal for beginners and can be completed quickly. Not only do they provide an eco-friendly storage solution, but they also offer a fun activity to enjoy with your kids. Imagine the excitement of using these reusable crates as bedroom storage after Easter morning, promoting sustainability and reducing waste.
Distressed Wooden Egg Garland
To conclude our Easter-themed craft series, we’re going to revisit a timeless tradition: the creation of an Easter garland. This elegant decoration is surprisingly easy to make, requiring only a few simple steps and some basic materials. Start by purchasing wooden eggs in various colors, similar to these. Next, give them a distressed look by coating them with white chalk paint and then sanding them down using high-grit sandpaper.
As you remove the excess paint and sanding residue, the original color will begin to emerge, creating a beautiful, subtle effect. Once your eggs are strung together, you’ll have a lovely Easter decoration that brings the spirit of spring into your home.
