How to make a paper plate bunny purse for Easter
The video on auto play shows you how to make the paper plate chick purse.. and here we have step by step photos for your Easter Rabbit version!
1. Prepaper your paper plate
The great thing is, that you don’t need to use paints for the bunny version – you can get away with just using pens if you wish. If you are making a chick, you will to paint it yellow first (or in any colour your wish!! Chick don’t HAVE to be yellow!). Once dry.. or if keeping plain white, cut your paper plate in half.
2. Make your Easter rabbit ears
For the Bunny you will need to cut out some ears – you can see above how to make the most out of your plate to get some lovely big bunny ears. You can also use plain white card if your prefer.
3. Attach the rabbit ears to your paper plate purse
Glue/ staple or sello tape your ears in place. Glue will take a while to dry.. so you may want to tape or staple
4. Assemble your basic paper plate purse
Place your ribbon or wool, between your paper plates and now add lots of glue to keep the two sides together, as well as securing the ribbon in place.
For the chick we stapled this.
So you can see that both look nice! Stapling IS quicker… but glue may be easier for younger kids.
Another way you can do this, is to “hole punch” holes all the way around the base and then turn this into a lacing activity.
5. Decorate your paper plate purse to look like a bunny
Paint on your details – we used paint for the ears, nose and cheeks and the pen for the black details.
You can use markers only if you prefer… for the chick we glued on some feathers (you can draw them on or use card) as well as a little felt for the beak (again use card if your prefer) and drew on an eye!
Ta-daaaaaaa.
Aren’t they lovely?! The kids couldn’t decide who wanted which one.. so the great thing is…. We can make ANOTHER SET IN NO TIME as they are so quick and easy to make…. Lovely!
Enjoy our thrifty little Easter craft and hope to see you again soon!
