Forgotten to organise an Easter bonnet? Don't panic - we have the solution to your woes.

Watch our super-fast, super-simple Easter Bunny Bonnet video - all you need is a some card, one of those lovely googly eyes (or a felt tip pen), and a cotton wool ball. Works for both girls and bonnet-resistant boys - and positively no crafting talent required, we absolutely promise.

Here's the bunny template - now go, go, go!

UPDATE: we've now added another very easy Easter Bonnet video to the bottom. It's a sheepy spectacular - unisex, and rather suave...

And here's the new sheepy Easter bonnet video:

Wow you lot are so creative! I have two to make for my dts by Friday. Was going to work on them at the weekend but I forgot to buy a glue gun - will Hobbycraft have them (at huge markup I guess). And how do you make the little sheep please 5madthings on your dd's hat? Love those.

I am rubbish at arty stuff, but good with wool. I made this for my son to wear today. (The chicks at the edge are designed to hang down when the hat is worn).

Our playgroup used to get cardboard (unused!) bedpans from the local cottage hospital for the children to decorate and wear as easter bonnets

Well if we are showing off our children's my skills......

@LEMmingaround

Will the mumsnet academy be running short courses on how to make the hat in the video?

I will run that up the flagpole and see who salutes, LEM

SirRaymond, that hat is completely amazing

Sirraaymond that is one amazing hat righ there Envy My DD will not be using a four year old effort that is getting really old and tatty this year, oh no - we are going for full on shop bought tacktastic stick on chicks and eggs Hmm I'd love to do something like that but i am shite!

My DD had her eyes on the prize though - she told me she wanted one with a crucifix on because its a catholic school and "the ones that do religeous stuff always win mum" Hmm But there were no pre-made jesus on the cross things to dangle from the bright yellow hat so that idea was quickly scrapped in favour or a more traditional lazy approach!

LEMmingaround · 03/04/2014 11:09

OMFG the fox hat - that is BRILLIANT!!!!

5madthings · 02/04/2014 21:34

Its fabulous!

SirRaymondClench · 02/04/2014 21:28

Thank you Hammock Thanks

I am covered in glue and have eaten a whole bag of blackcurrant and licorice sweets. Get my implants tomorrow so will feel better soon! Smile

RatHammock · 02/04/2014 21:25

It's brilliant SirRaymond. Smile.

Much better than anything I could do.

Hope you feel better soon.

SirRaymondClench · 02/04/2014 21:23

Can I show you my effort?
I made it with paper mache and two balloons and then felt.
I am in the midst of a menopausal HRT meltdown so can't tell if what I've made is actually shit but it IS a hat (just haven't decorated the brim yet)
Be gentle with me or I will probs do myself in (not really though)

Best Easter bonnet ever!

5madthings · 02/04/2014 21:07

Ha ha you will love it, I went round my house looking for things to glue when I first got mine!

imip · 02/04/2014 21:00

I couldn't wait ... I got the stanley one, because I knew the name and reviews looked good. Was £7. I am unreasonably excited about this purchase.... Am also now imagining glue sequins onto tutus and all sorts of shit Smile

Panzee · 02/04/2014 20:58

I think the murderous fox bonnet might have been the first thread I ever read on Mumsnet. It was truly wonderful. :)

5madthings · 02/04/2014 18:39

Bigger link doesn't work, glue guns on Amazon mine is silverline? Is under a fiver and glue sticks come in packs of 100 fir a quid.

5madthings · 02/04/2014 18:38

5madthings · 02/04/2014 18:35

Yes glue guns rock! You can get themir about £4 on Amazon and they sell the glue sticks in bulk really cheap as well.

My dd won a prize for her hat ttoday, it was fantastic to see all the kids lined up at the Easter fair wearing them!
