Cut your card stock weight paper to create
separate chunky components
for head, body, ears, feet,
nose and tummy. Assemble these together to build
this whimsical shelf-sitting critter to add to your spring
and Easter decor. Components
are composed of
LID and BASE halves that fit and are glued snuggly
together to
resemble cut wood shapes.
Nose and tummy are one sided and tab-fit inside
cut
outs on lid “faceplate” overlay shapes.
Curved edges are created by fitting
shaped panel inside
its corresponding boxing shape, with a “cosmetic” overlay
panel to conceal assembly tabs. This double-wall
construction makes the bunny
extra strong for
repeat display for many seasons.
Position and attach forms
together, body and head
stacked with square post (wrapped 1/4” dowel)
inserted
for strength & stability.
Place metal washers or pellet weights inside body
box
for extra stability. Add a bow around its neck,
and before long, this
playful bunny will spread cheer.
Figure measures approx. 8.75” wide x
10.5”
tall (including ears) x 2.5” deep when
fully assembled.
(Requires 12x12 cutting
mat and card stock
for longest shapes; when cut as colored,
main structures use
all or parts of (6) 12x12 sheets.)
(This tutorial is under construction.
Please return soon to view the completed
assembly guide.)
Oh my....he is absolutely adorable. <3
