Bunny Simple Shapes Egg Wrap

Quick to cut and assemble, scampering bunny is composed 

of folded body with attached wrap “strip” extensions and head, 

with separate cottontail discs, optional eye circles 

(or use studs as the samples do). 

Optional body underside liner shapes can provide legs 

with enough strength to hold up wrapped 

chocolate candy egg. 

Bunny can also be assembled NOT to hold candy egg, 

when wrap strips can be trimmed with increased overlap 

or adjusted to represent bunny’s tummy. 

Twine-tie a name tag around neck to create 

a festive place card your for Easter feast. 

Tuck into a basket with other goodies, or pose with 

spring decor. Bunny measures approx. 

4.75” long nose to back paw x 3.125” front paw to ear tip 

when assembled. 

ASSEMBLY 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A main body shape with wrapping strips at belly

B main head shape

C optional under-body reinforcement shapes

D cotton tail scalloped discs (2)

Here are a couple of samples of the Easter wrapped

chocolate eggs that are compatible sizes.

2. Prepare the main body shape by bending  back

at the center perforation line. NOTE that the rounded

end is the TAIL end.

Also add a bit of curl to the wrap strip extensions,

from outer end inward approx. 2/3 of length to

where it attaches to body.

3. If desired (to reinforce and strengthen the legs

to stand while holding the chocolate egg off table

surface - some eggs are large enough diameter at

circumference that they will rest on table top; 

OR

to hide the plain backside of single-sided card stock),

position and attach the under-body half shapes on

each side of the perforation line . . .

. . . where there will remain a slight gap to allow for

easy bending.

4. Prepare the head by bending at center perforation

line. Also add cheek blush and eye studs or paper

discs over circle cut outs.

5. Locate the curved guide marks cut into the "front"

half of the body at neck stem, then . . .

. . . position a foam square on neck stem on both

sides of perforation line. (Or use white foam squares

or thick glue.)

6. Position the front half of head (jowl edge) over

corresponding edge of body and adjust to align

head edge with guide mark line, rotating ears

downward to be approx. 1/2" above body at about

the half ear length, then apply pressure to attach.

7. Fold the opposite head half into position

to attach to second body half.

8. Position and attach one tail disc over the tail

extension on body, then reverse bunny to . . .

. . . position and attach second tail disc.

Apply fingertip pressure to join the two together,

while at the same time shaping them slightly so

that a slight bend forms to conform with body angle.

9. To "fill" the body with wrapped egg, simply insert

between wrap strips as deeply as possible without

distorting body too much. Use double-stick tape

to help hold it in place.

Wrap strip ends around candy egg to dry fit and

determine how much overlap there will be.

Apply adhesive (quick-grab Fabri-Tack is a good choice)

to one wrap strip end in margin determined by

dry fit, then . . .

. . . wrap second strip end over top, adjust,

and hold in place until thoroughly secure.

Here is the completed bunny. If desired, all slight amount

of outward curl to mid-ear. For name placecard,

prepare a name tag or label, then attach to body side

or tie with twine around neck through tag's punch hole.
