Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down my spring table! See how to make this adorable burlap bunny table runner complete with fluffy DIY pom pom tails that I’ll show you how to make … using a fork from your utensil drawer! This fun craft will dress up your spring table and will put a smile on every bunny’s faces!
I made this bunny table runner 10 years ago and it’s been a fan favorite ever since!
Don’t forget to add a bunny to each end of your table runner!
Now, let’s hop to it and make this spring table runner!
How to Make a Burlap Bunny Table Runner
This post contains affiliate links which means if you make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
1) Print out a cute bunny silhouette like this one sized to your liking (I made it as big as could fit on a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper)
2) Cut out silhouette and make your own stencil by laying bunny onto stencil film and cutting out with an x-acto knife
3) Put paper bags under burlap runner like this one so paint won’t bleed through
4) With a pouncer, pounce on brown craft paint (for chocolate bunnies) or choose your favorite paint color
5) Once paint is dry, add fluffy white pom pom tails (see how I made these pom poms with a fork)
How to Make Pom Poms with a Fork!
1) Wrap fluffy white yarn around fork around 50-60 times then cut yarn (I used large serving forks to make big pom poms).
2) Cut a small piece of yarn and bring it through the center fork tines, underneath and up through the bottom of the center tine. Knot it tightly.
3) Remove yarn from fork and cut through each side of the pom pom loops as shown.
4) Cut off excess yarn and give it a good trim. Fluff with fingers.
5) Glue on pom pom tails (I used plain old Elmer’s glue) making sure to have brown paper bags under the burlap to protect table.
So many bunnies!

So cute! Love the texture, dimensionality, and simple materials. I think there will be lots of bunnies hoping around tables this year. Hoppy spring!
This combines 2 of my favorites – burlap and chocolate bunnies! Totally love this! I am pinning for sure! Life to the full, Melissa

I think this could be my most favorite Easter project I have seen. Truthfully, I get a little wary of the pastels and cute. This is just so moi. Whimsical, and so cute!
So cute Kelly! Wish I could hop to Jersey to make bushels of these pompoms with you! 😀
Soooo cute! Burlap is so hot right now. I have been wanting to create a couple of things with it but have not had a chance to yet. Love this idea!
My older son would LOVE this! So cute….

This is just too darling! Burlap on top of that! Perfect! ~Tammy
Love, love, love! I just featured your table runner at Sophisticated Yellow. Come check it out!
Oh my goodness girl, that is way too cute!! Absolutely love it! And that table is wonderful!
Great idea, I have all my materials and am making pom poms now…question, my table is only 6 ft long and the runner is 15 ft — did you have to trim yours? How did you keep it from fraying?
This is adorable, Kelly! I love the pom pom tails.
So cute! How fun that would be at the kids table!
Sherry
This is so adorable and AWESOME!!! Love it…hugs
You already know I totally love this!! Pinning it to our Its a Spring Thing Pinboard!! Woot!

Thanks for sharing this Kelly! I posted it on the Shady Porch FB page today. Have a great weekend! 🙂
I absolutely love this! I am going to try and convince my fiance to let me use these at our wedding. I seriously love bunnies!! Thanks so much for the tutorial!
where do you buy burlap?
Amazon has lots: http://amzn.to/1n7jMrp
So cute! I’m so gonna try it for easter! Greetings from Argentina! 🙂
I just made this – it took me about two hours and it looks fantastic. It’s going on my table at Easter. I didn’t put pom-pom tails on all the rabbits though, only the ones that hang over the end of the table (that way I can put plates down on the table without rabbit tails in the way)
What a fun project…adorable!
I’ve had this pinned for like 2 years now, and finally got around to making it! It turned out SO cute! Wish I could have share a pic!
So glad you made it Angie – enjoy! You can email me a pic if you like [email protected]– I’d love to see it!
these burlap bunny table runner are just so cute and adorable!
Thanks for the cuteness I pinned it. I’m so rleady for Spring.
Spring can’t spring soon enough Marlene!
When I first opened the email I thought..”how did she get a picture of my table runner?” Ha ha! I actually made it based on this post from years ago! It’s so cute!
LOL Kristi! I am so glad you made it! Would love to see pics of yours
Very cute and a fun project to do with grandkids!
Yes, this is the perfect kids activity Kelly!
