Easy Happy Hoppy Easter Canvas
I always want to paint on canvas, but I’m not that skilled with a brush, sure I can paint a word or two like I did on these instagram canvases, but I just found a great way to utilize a canvas without having to pick up a paint brush!
I wanted a large piece of Easter artwork but didn’t want to shill out the $. When I found an Easter t-shirt for my daughter at the thrift shop I knew I wanted to mimic the print. Project challenge- I think so!
This is how I made the Happy Hoppy Easter Canvas-
- A blank canvas (mine is 14″ x 16″from Michaels)
- Cardstock in 6 different colors, one sheet of glitter paper (for the bunnies) I used DCWV silky smooth cardstock stack in brights.
- An electronic cutter, large letter stencils, or you could print letters and bunnies and cut them out by hand.
- Xyron Creative station with Permeant Refill (mine is 5″)
- Ruler
Follow these simple steps-
- Cut out the letters, alternating colors, some with holes (you can do this with a hole punch, or with your electronic cutter). Also cut bunnies from glittered cardstock.
- Run each letter through the Xyron Creative station. Rub the top of the letters to ensure they are well stuck, peel off the top plastic layer. If there is adhesive inside the dots, you can poke a pencil in the holes to remove it.
- Using a ruler, or straight edge line the letters up (but don’t press down until you’re sure of the spacing, and your bunnies are in place).
- Add the bunnies, cutting off their bums so they appear to be poking out from behind the letters.
- Press letters in place. I added a strip of ribbon to the edge of the canvas for a bit of definition (I used May Arts orange 3/4″ chevron).
Don’t you just love how cheery and bright it is! I wish I could better capture how glittery the bunnies are.
I can’t lie I tried putting a coat of glitter decoupage over top. It. Was. An. Epic. Fail! It made the paper curl and made a complete mess, so I wiped it off and trashed that idea. The Xyron certainly gives the necessary hold, I just wanted the glittery look- so if I were to do it over I would start by painting the canvas with a bit of glitter and letting it dry before applying the letters.
For those of you that don’t have the crafty gene you can enjoy the Happy Hoppy Easter Canvas as a Free printable!

Easter Canvas Painting Instructions
Ready to get started? Here are the step-by-step instructions. Making your own canvas painting is going to be a cinch.
First, line the workspace with something so that it does not get on the table. We use butcher paper. You need to keep your space clean. Also, get a painting apron to keep your clothes clean.
Start with a blank canvas and a palette of pastel colors with the sponge paint brushes.
Draw an egg on the canvas using a pencil. If you need an egg template, you can use the printable below. All you have to do is print it and cut out the egg. Then, trace the egg on the canvas. 
Use a ruler and pencil to make designs like stripes.
Then, I added each color to a cup. If you don’t have You can use craft cups or clear jars that you use for crafts. I have a few that I set aside for crafting only.
If you do not have round foam brushes, you can a sponge into 6 or more square.
Use the round foam brushes or cut up sponge pieces to make round dabs in different colors on the stripes.
We used different sizes of foam paintbrushes or sponges to create an oversized pointillist painting.
Then, we painted the outside of the egg. You can choose a different color to make the egg pop. Here we had to outline the egg to make it distinguishable from the background.
Let the painting dry completely.
Finally, use an eraser to erase the pencil marks.
More Ideas For the Canvas
You can be really creative with this too! Feel free to make it say other words. I love the Easter Egg because it is so simple. Here are some ways to make it more your own. If you make an Easter Egg canvas painting, share it with me on Instagram (@AprilGoLightly) so I can see it!
- Cut the tape into thinner strips for longer words
- Create hearts and star-shaped stencils out of paper
- Paint the entire canvas light green or gold and let it dry first. Then, put your painter’s tape on top – this will create a much more dramatic look.
