Prep Time1 minute
Active Time2 hours 15 minutes
Yield: 1 easter basket
Cost: $5-$10, depending on supplies on hand

Equipment

  • 1 Pair of scissors
  • 1 plate for tracing
  • 1 pencil or marker
  • 1 paintbrush art size is fine or sponge brush, whatever you have will work.
  • 1 hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
  • 2-4 strands floral wire optional

Materials

  • 1 paper bag paper grocery bag normal kraft color, or could use white gift bag
  • 1 piece pink felt or red, orange, etc. for the nose
  • 1 container craft paint white, craft size
  • 1 container craft paint black

Instructions

  • Remove the handles from the bag and set aside, you'll use them later.
  • Using a plate, trace the 'head' of the bunny and cut the bag. Leave the sides of it so it stays together and keep the bottom of the paper bag intact.
  • Cut out the first ear, using the left over bag piece, then use that to trace and cut out the second, third and fourth ears. I used two on each side of the bag, you could just use two attached to the front.
  • Paint your pieces (You could also use a white gift bag and be able to skip this step, or leave it in it's kraft paper color). Allow paint to dry.
  • Glue on your ears and the handle of the bag. This is where you may want to hot glue some floral wire onto the back of the ears, especially the front pieces so that they stick up straight.
  • Cut out and hot glue your felt nose and pinks of the ears onto the bunny.
  • Draw on the bunny face, then paint on the bunny face with black craft paint. Drawing it first helps to keep things aligned/how you want them.
  • Hot glue a pom onto the back of the bunny for a tail.
