Bunny-nose masks : Easter craft for kids

It's the first day of school holidays and the start of the Easter long weekend.
A perfect time to make Bunny-nose Masks :)














 
 

You will need:
Empty cardboard egg tray
3 Pipe cleaners (per mask)
A pompom or cotton wool ball (per mask)
Some white card for the 'teeth' (I used some card from our recycling box so it has printing on the back)
Glue (I used Wood Glue and fast drying Bostik Clear Glue)
A pair of scissors
A tool that can be used to make holes
Hat elastic
A cute kid or 3...

Cut out two egg cups to make the 'cheeks', leaving them joined in the middle.
 
Paint a coat of Wood Glue onto the inside of the egg cups to strengthen the cardboard.
Make four holes on each side:
3 in a row for the pipe cleaners to be threaded through,
and one above for attaching the Hat Elastic at the end.
 
 
Cut some 'teeth' out of white card.
 
Thread the Pipe Cleaners through the holes on either side.
 

Use the fast drying Bostick Clear Glue to glue on the nose.
You can use a pompom or a cotton wool ball for the nose.
 
Use the fast drying Bostick Clear Glue to glue on the teeth.
 
(I used some card from our recycling box so it has printing on the back)
 
Allow to dry. Attach the Hat Elastic... and
 
TA DA!!
 
 
 
Cute, aren't they? ;)

A warren of rabbits

 
I fell in love with this warren of rabbits at Montabello Design Centre recently.
 
 
At R450-R500 each, I wasn't able to take them home with me, so I decided to make my own.
Out of paper. :)
 
 
My son has already ordered one but wants me to please add a fluffy tail.

I made some more rabbits in lovely colours and patterns for Easter:
