Cute DIY Easter bunnies: How to create a bunny with a fillable belly
Step 1: Prepare templates
Start your DIY project by downloading and printing out the templates provided. Once you have printed them out, carefully cut out the templates.
Step 2: Transfer the templates to foam rubber
Using a sublimate pen, which is characterised by its self-extinguishing purple colour liquid, transfer the templates A (bunny), B (hands) and C (feet) onto the brown foam rubber. It is important to ensure that the lines are clean, as this step forms the foundation for the final shape of the bunny. Use the pink foam rubber for the templates D (inner ear), E (nose), F (toe), G (inner foot) and H (egg).
Step 3: Cut out from foam rubber
Now it's time to cut! Carefully cut out all the transferred parts.
Step 4: Fill and attach the acrylic egg
Cover the edge of your foam rubber egg with a strip of double-sided adhesive tape. Fill the acrylic glass eggs with small gifts or sweets that will provide a playful surprise. Now remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and attach the foam rubber egg to the acrylic egg so that it is securely closed. Attach some double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the acrylic egg. Then place the egg on the bunny's belly. Thanks to the adhesive tape, you can easily remove the acrylic egg later without damaging the bunny.
Step 5: Glue the individual parts together
Using hot glue (be careful with the heat and your fingers), attach the toes and inner foot parts to the brown feet. Then glue the finished feet to the bunny. The hands go directly onto the acrylic glass eggs to give the impression that the bunny is holding the egg.
Step 6: Add details and design the face
Glue the inner ears to the bunny's ears and attach the nose to the centre of the head. Wobbly eyes give the bunny its characteristic expression, while an optional bow lovingly rounds off the overall look. You can use a marker to colour in the rest of the face, such as the mouth and whiskers, to round off the details.
