Here’s a great idea for the children’s Easter Parade thanks to Family Crafts !!
Before you start any project it is easiest to gather together all of the supplies. For this project you will need:
- Paper Plate
- Construction Paper or Cardstock
- Chenille Stem
- Pom-Poms
- Crayons
- Craft Glue
- Stapler
- Scissors – Used for cutting the paper.
- Wire Cutters or Old Scissors – Used for cutting the chenille stems.
1.
To form the basket, which is also
the bunny’s body, fold the paper
plate in half and staple along the
rounded edge of the folded plate.
Leave about 4-inches along the top
open to fill.
2.
Using construction paper or
cardstock, cut out a basket handle
about an inch wide and 12-inches
long. Also cut out your bunny’s
ears. I cut out 2 white ears and 2
smaller pink ear shapes to be the
inside of the ears.
3.
Glue the strip of paper into the
opening on the curved side
of the plate to form the basket
handle. Then, glue the ears near
one side of the handle on both
sides of the paper plate as shown in
the picture above.
4.
Use an old pair of scissors or a
wire cutter to cut a piece of
chenille stem into 3 equal pieces,
about 4-inches long.
5.
To add the Bunny’s Whiskers,
Glue the whiskers onto the bunny
basket as shown in the photo
above.
6.
Next, glue a small pom-pom onto
the whiskers to look like the
bunny’s nose.
Then you can simply draw the
eyes onto your bunny using
crayons or even markers. If you
prefer, you can glue on wiggle
eyes instead.
7.
Finally, glue a pom-pom (or you
can use a cotton ball) on to look
like a puffy tail. Once all the glue is
dry, you can fill this cute bunny
basket with Easter grass and treats!
