Paper springs rabbits

Are you looking for a creative and entertaining craft idea for yourself or your family? With our Paper springs rabbits, you can bring some springtime cheer into your home! These simple craft instructions show you step by step how to make a cute bunny from just a few materials.

Step 1: Cutting the strips

Start by taking a sheet of cardboard. Cut two strips 4 cm wide from it. These strips will form the basis of your bunny.

Step 2: Folding the Paper springs

Now it gets exciting: fold the two strips into a so-called Paper springs. This means that you alternate the two strips on top of each other by folding them at right angles. This creates a fun, stepped pattern. Glue the ends of the strips at the beginning and end so that the witch's staircase doesn't come loose again.

Step 3: Design the bunny head

Cut a little across the centre of both sides at the top and fold it up.

Step 4: Decorate the face

Now it's time to give your bunny a face. Start with the eyes: stick small eyes on the top of the witch's staircase. Then colour in the nose and mouth with a pencil. For the cheeks, you can punch out small circles with a hole punch and attach them next to the nose. These little details will give your bunny a friendly expression.

Step 5: Add the ears

Now you need the right bunny ears! Transfer the template for the ears to a piece of paper or cardboard and cut them out neatly. Glue the two ear pieces together and then attach them to the top of your bunny's head.

Step 6: Attach the bow

For the finishing touch, you can take a small bow and glue it below the face. It gives your bunny a charming touch and covers the fold on the witch's staircase.
