Supplies Needed for Book Page Bunnies:
- Old book pages (or any other paper that is sturdy)
- Half Bunny template (draw your own or print one)
- Scissors
- Glue sticks
- Embellishments (optional) – Cotton balls or pom-poms (for the tail), twine or ribbon for a bow, etc.
How to Make These Bunnies:
Step 1: Create Your Bunny Template
Start by making the bunny stencil for the book pages. Draw a simple “half bunny” silhouette onto card stock or sturdy paper. Your template needs to fit on the book pages when they are folded over in half and the bottom needs to be a straight edge. See photos. Cut out the template when you have it drawn.
SIDE NOTE: You can make different-sized bunnies.
Step 2: Trace The Bunny Template On Book Pages
Take 25-30 book pages and fold each one in half lengthwise, creating a crisp crease down the center. Using the bunny template you made, trace the shape onto your book pages with the straight edge of your template along the folded side of the book pages. Cut them out. Keep them folded.
Step 3: Glue Your Pages Together
Using a glue stick, apply glue along the folded edge of each cut-out bunny shape and stack them on top of each other, aligning the folds. This will create a layered, 3D effect. (Check out the video below for a full step-by-step tutorial!)
Step 4: Glue The Final Piece
When you get all the pages glued together, put glue all over the last one and open it to attach to the other side (again, the video below shows this in real-time).
Step 5: Add Bunny Ears
Cut bunny ears from the book page scraps you have and glue them towards the back of the bunny.
Step 6: Add Embellishments
Add a pom-pom tail, add a bow or any other embellishments you want.
