Help for Hobbies of all Sorts by Rene' Hobbie

Are you looking for a fun and easy Easter project to make with the kids?  This adorable bunny just might do the trick. 

Start out with a piece of white cardstock that measures 3 2/8 x 9 1/2.  It is scored at 4 and 5 1/2.  Fold it to make the body of the bunny.  You will also need another piece of white cardstock cut out in the shape of a scallop.  I used a large Sizzix die cut for it.  I scored it so that there were 12 scallops that will go on the front of the rabbit.  The remaining scallops will go on its back. 

Put red sticky tape on one side of the scallop as shown and place it on the body of the rabbit. 

Use two different sized ovals to make the ears and feet of the rabbit.  Add them to her body. 


Now it's time to add the different features of her face.  I used two different sized circle punches for those.  Draw on the whiskers.



Add an Easter greeting to the belly of the rabbit.  I used a larger oval punch than was used for her feet and ears.  Now affix three small flowers popping the center one up with a pop dot.  Don't forget to add her bow.
Open the rabbit and affix candy.  I used red sticky strip tape again.  Add a velcro dot to keep her closed. 

The last thing your bunny needs is a cottontail! 

Materials Used:
Paper:  white, pink, black, and green cardstock, colorful polka dot paper, 
Accessories:  ribbon, white pom poms
Tools:  punches (oval and round), small flower punch, large scallop circle 

We will be making these rabbits at my stamping club this Thursday.  Thanks for stopping in!
