Toilet Paper Roll Bunny

A little something for the kids to do...

{and that goes for kids of ALL ages ;-)

Make a Toilet Paper Roll Bunny!

As long as they can handle a hot glue gun...

During my cereal box bead rolling,

I had an epiphany {of sorts} and started thinking

  up all kinds of things to make with these rolls, and this is one of them. It's simple enough for the kids to do for Easter crafts, and cute

enough for Big Kids to make for the mantel.

After I "master" the face / ear formation,

I'll make more and paint them. This is

my first one, my "proto-type."

Wanna make some?

Grab a toilet or paper towel roll,

a cotton ball

scissors

short bits of raffia

a hot glue gun

Press your roll flat and cut two 1/2 " strips.

Cut another to make the "feet."

Round out one the now cut pieces.

Carefully make an indention with your finger 

for the downward area of the ears.

(Refer to the photo.)

At this point, the "face" will look 

round, like a cat face. Set aside.

Shape the other strip into a "tear drop."

This is the "body". Insert the body into the face.  Press the roundness of the face up onto the sides of the body, also press it flat at the bottom,

to make it more square. After shaping the cardboard, loosen your grip and

dab the sides and bottom with hot glue, then 

press firmly back into place.

From the extra strip, cut triangle shaped

"feet". This will help with stability.

Criss-cross them near the back (see above) 

then dab glue on. Set your bunny body down so that the "chin" sets flat on the surface,

and the "rear" is up a bit.

Glue on a piece of the cotton ball for

the tail.  Cut small strips of raffia

for the "whiskers" - dab on a bit of glue and 

add a small bit of cotton for the nose.

Have fun with your kids and grandkids making these cuties for Easter! I'd love to see yours,

so link back to this post if you like.

Have a Happy Sunday, Y'all!
