How to Make a Paper Bag Bunny Basket
Step 1: Shape the Bunny
Lay the paper bag flat with the glued side down. Using a pencil, sketch a pair of bunny ears on the top half of the bag.
Carefully cut out the ears, making sure the front and back ears remain attached to the bag.
Step 2: Trim the Bag
Cut down the sides of the bag so they are even with the bottom of the ears.
Cut the milk carton to the same height as the trimmed bag.
Step 3: Decorate the Bunny
Use a magic marker to draw a bunny face on the bag.
Glue on:
-
A pink pom-pom for the nose
-
Pipe cleaners for whiskers
-
A cotton ball for the tail
Step 4: Add Structure and Fill
Insert the trimmed milk carton into the paper bag to help the basket hold its shape.
Fill the basket with Easter grass and candies.
Step 5: Finish the Ears
Glue the front and back ears together at the very tips to help them stand upright.
