Materials
- Pink construction paper
- White construction paper
- Yellow pom-pom
- Black marker
- Pencil
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Scissors
To get started, decide how large or small you want your bunny candy holder to be, and then cut a rectangle out of a piece of construction paper (I used pink).
Once you have the rectangle cut out, wrap around one end to meet the other, and glue those together so that you have a cylinder.
This will be the container for the candy. Now we are going to decorate it so that it looks like a bunny. To begin with that task, cut out two matching bunny ears from the same color of construction paper (again, pink, in my case).
You now need to make the inner ears to go with the outer ears. Cut another pair of matching ear-shapes from the white construction paper, but make them slightly smaller.
You can set aside the ears for now, and return to working on the cylinder. Making the bunny’s facial features is easy. Start by drawing two little dots with a black marker to serve as the eyes. Then glue on the small pom-pom as the bunny’s nose.
Pick up the black marker again and draw the bunny’s whiskers extending to either side of the nose. Draw the mouth below the nose.
Cut a small rectangle of white paper and glue it on top of the mouth, extending down from under the nose.
Glue the inner ears onto the outer ears
Finally, glue the ears to the top of the cylinder. It will look best if you attach them to the inner edge of the front of the cylinder rather than the rear. This is especially true once you add the candy. If you glue the ears to the rear, the candy will cover them up, but if they are in the front, they can easily be seen.
Once you finish making your bunny, you can set it out to display, and put some candy inside!
