Directions:

  1. Create your images in Canva.

    I love using the free site, Canva, to create my images and text for Cricut projects. Alternatively, you can search for an image on Google, and save it to your computer. You are welcome to save the following images. Just right click, and click save image as to save the image to your computer. 
  2. Upload the bunny image to Cricut Design Space.

    You will select new project, upload image, find your bunny image, select the area to cut, and upload the image to your new project. 
  3. Size and cut the bunny image.

    Your size will depend on your bucket size. For mine, I made my bunny about 4″ x 5″. I used a hot pink vinyl for the bunny image.Make your own DIY Easter bucket with the Cricut Explore easily and very affordably. This super cheap and easy DIY Easter project is so fun to make.

    Decide where you want your text and how large. Size it and cut the text out. I used a teal vinyl and sized my text to 9″ long.
