How to make a 3D paper bunny (template)

Spring is coming and most of us are searching for fancy Easter decoration. I love decor with function and that's why I created a paper Easter bunny with a hideout. In its belly there is plenty of space to hide small gifts.

You can either fold the Easter bunny in uni colors or with a geometric pattern. I love both styles.

Paper craft: Easter bunny instructions

Materials needed

  • PDF Template
  • 7 cardstock paper uni or with pattern (8.5in x 11in) (weight: 65lb-110lb / 176gsm-300gsm)
  • Glue or double-sided tape
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Bonefolder / awl / ball pen refill etc.
  • Cutting mat
Step: Download Easter bunny template

1. Print the bunny template (DIN A4) on paper of your choice. Originally I designed this template for our German paper size. That is why you have to scale down the size of the template to around 80%.

Step: Cutting

2. Cut out the paper parts (A, B, C, ...) by cutting along the solid lines. I usually do that with scissors but as there are some tricky parts you may prefer to use a cutter knife.

Step: Folding

3. Place a ruler on the dotted lines and mark the folds by pressing down hard and running a bonefolder or an awl along the lines. Don't skip this step - no matter what paper you use. The result will look so much better.

Step: Folding paper parts

4. Start with the paper piece A and place it in front of you. The printed side should be facing you. Subsequently fold all the dotted lines either inwards, which means to fold up (short dotted lines) or outwards, which means to fold down (long dotted lines), according to the markings.

Step: stick paper parts together

5. Use double-sided tape or any glue onto the unprinted side of the tabs. I prefer to craft with adhesive tape because your fingers stay clean. Each number exists twice. Stick all the same numbers together in ascending order (1, 2, 3, ...). Start with section 1 and stick it to the section marked 1 on paper A, pressing firmly enough to make them stick together.

Step: Bunny bottom

6. Either put small gifts inside or just use it as lovely spring decoration.
