 | Method
 | Cut out the template shapes A, B and C |
| Cut a 3.5" to 4" length of inner cardboard tube from a kitchen roll or foil
wrap. |
| Cut 6 1.5" lengths of pipe cleaner or wool for whiskers. |
| Cut a piece of gift wrap or crepe paper aprox 7"x6" |
| With a felt pen mark a small dot for positioning the nose. This should be just below the
centre point of the circle. |
|
| To wrap the cardboard tube with gift wrap/crepe paper.
| Apply a light coat of children's PVA glue to the back of the gift wrap paper and lay
down glue side up with the longest sides at top and bottom. |
| Lie the cardboard tube flat on the paper. Making sure that the length of the tube lies
along the short length of paper. |
| Wrap the glue covered paper around the tube. |
| Fold in the extra length at either end. |
|
| To attach the Whiskers and Nose.
| Place a couple of generous blobs of glue around the position marked for the nose. |
| Apply the six whiskers. Make sure that a small gap is left to ensure a good sticking
surface is available for the Nose. |
| Place a generous blob of glue to the point where the nose is to go. Place the Pom-pom on
the marked point and hold down firmly for a short time. |
|
| To attach the Eyes.
| Place the googlie eyes on the head and move them around until you are happy with the
expression. |
| Carefully lift each eye and apply a small blob of glue on the card. |
| Replace the eye. |
| Repeat this procedure for the other eye. |
|
| Create facial expression.
| Colour in the inner part of the ears. |
| colour in any further facial expressions:
 | Freckles. |
| Mouth. |
| Nose dots on Pom-pom. |
|
|
| Attaching head and feet.
| Apply PVA glue to one edge of the cardboard tube. |
| Place the tube, sticky side down over the feet. Hold firmly for a short time. |
| Apply a generous dab of glue to the back of the head. |
| Apply the head to the top of the Tube. Making sure that the front of the feet are at the
same side. Hold the head in position for a short time. |
| Place the Bunny aside and allow to dry. |
|
| Making the cone shape for the egg. (this is necessary, as many small chocolate eggs are
a little small for the tube. Inserting the cone allows the egg to have a base.
Alternatively simply stuff the tube with tissue paper creating a base.
| Hold the semi-circle shape (C) in one hand with the curved edge towards the palm of your
hand. |
| Create a funnel shape by wrapping the card around itself. |
| Make sure that the top end of the funnel is just larger than the top of the tube shape. |
| Mark off the overlap position with a felt pen. |
| Remove the funnel from the tube, and apply glue to the overlap. Hold and allow to dry. |
| Place the funnel in the top of the tube. Do not stick. This will allow the removal of
the funnel later to allow the Bunny to be used as a Penholder etc. |
|
| When dry place the Chocolate egg in the top of the tube. |
