It's so easy to make the bunny family:
1. first transfer the motif template for the egg to the Paper. Cut everything out and glue two paper eggs of the same color together.
2. Now sort the colors according to your taste: tone on tone or colorful? We couldn't decide and simply combined both variants. A little info: Six egg motifs fit on one sheet of Paper . This is enough for one bunny figure.
3. In the next step, cut off 30 cm or 10 cm from the satin ribbon . The satin ribbon is a good help to keep the head stable on the body. The long 30 cm satin ribbon will also serve as a hanging ribbon later on.
4. To fold the paper eggs properly, we recommend using a folding bone. Tip: If you don't have a folding bone, a bamboo skewer will also do. Place a ruler on the area to be folded and then trace it with the bamboo skewer. apply a little pressure to the Paper .
5. Next, make the bodies. You will need three paper eggs for one bunny figure. Apply a strip of handicraft glue to the first paper egg and place the satin ribbon on top. It is sufficient for the ribbon only to extend to the middle of the egg. Press it lightly with a bamboo skewer, for example. Now also applyhandicraft glue to the satin ribbon and finally glue the other two paper eggs together at the fold line. Leave the body to dry long enough. Important: If you want your bunny to stand upright, simply cut away a piece at the bottom after Time to dry: . This is no longer possible once the head has been attached.
6. While the bodies are drying, paint on the faces. To do this, first draw everything delicately with a pencil. Then paint the eyes and teeth white. Trace the pupils and all other lines and details with a black fineliners . Finally, add light reflections to the eyes. If you want to apply them with acrylic paint , this is best done with the tip of a bamboo skewer.
7. Now draw the head onto the satin ribbon. Apply a generous amount of handicraft glue around the hole and place the head on the body. Pull lightly on the ribbon, so that the head sits securely and does not wobble. Secure the satin ribbon in the hole with handicraft glue for more stability. Check again that the head is firmly in place.
8. If you want a suspension, you now need to insert the end of the satin ribbon into the hole and glue it there.
9. Now cut out the template for the ears and transfer it to the craft felt. The sublimat pen is very suitable for this. The lines can then be wiped off with a little water - this will give you a clean result. Cut out all the parts.
10. Put some handicraft glue in the hole and push the ears in using a bamboo skewer. Shape them into shape. For the standing bunnies, simply cut off the end of the satin ribbon that is too long.
