Easter Bunny Crafts #1

Small Paper Plate
Dinner Sized Paper Plate
Pink Card Stock
Cotton Balls
Wiggle Eyes
Pink Yarn or Pipe Cleaners
Pink Pom Pom
Green Buttons
Scissors


How to Make an Accordion Easter Bunny

bullet Take your small paper plate and cover the front with glue.  Then place cotton balls on the glue and let it dry.  This will be the bunny's head.

bullet Using the pink paper, cut out some bunny ears and glue to the back of the small paper plate.

Tip:  You can use two different colors of pink to give the ears a cute look.

bullet Glue on wiggle eyes.  Cut your pipe cleaners or yarn to form whiskers and glue these under the eyes.  Now use the yarn or pipe cleaner and form a mouth.  Lastly, glue on the pink pom pom for the bunny's fuzzy nose.

bullet Decorate the bottom of the large paper plate.  This will be the bunny's dress so pick the color you want her to wear.  Cut this plate into the shape of a dress.

Cut two or three small flower shapes using the pink paper.  Glue on green buttons to create the center of the flower.  Flue these flowers to the dress.


bullet Cut out 14 strips of the pink paper the width of your ruler along the long length of the paper (11").  These will be used to create the accordion neck, arms and legs.

Take two strips and place one horizontally and the other vertically, overlapping at the very end of the strips.  Now you will begin to fold these together to create the accordion.  See next step for illustration and directions for folding.

bullet folding illustrationTake the horizontal strip and fold (left or right depending on where the strip starts) over the vertical strip.  

Now fold the vertical strip (up or down) over the horizontal strip. Repeat this until both strips are completely folded together.

button Use two strips for each arm.  For the legs, glue 2 strips together creating one long strip.  Repeat for the other leg so that all together the each leg uses 4 strips.  For the neck, cut about 1" off each strip to make the neck a bit shorter.
bullet Glue the accordion pieces in the proper place.  For the neck, glue this to the bottom of the small plate and at the top of the large paper plate dress.

bullet Cut out some hands and feet using the pink paper and glue these to the ends of the arms and legs.

You can add some extra touches to this girl bunny by adding a ribbon in her hair or cut out a bonnet to glue to the top of her head.  You can also make a boy version of this craft.
