Bunny Cuties

The Easter Bunny is coming to Calypte Lane this weekend in the form of Tiny Treat Boxes! One is toting Jelly Bellies, the other has M&M’s. I bet you can guess who will be getting these ~ yep, the grandkids!

I got the idea for these on Susan Itell’s 3-D Project site, and they are fun and easy to make. All you need to do is cover a clear Tiny Treat Box with some colorful paper (I found this Easter egg paper at Hobby Lobby) cut at 1-3/4″ x 8-1/2″. The bunnies are made with the following punches and framelits:

• 1 – 2″ circle, Whisper White for the head
• 2 – 1″ circles, Whisper White for the muzzle
• 2 – 1/2″ circles, Basic Black for the eyes
• 1 – heart punch for the nose, colored cardstock
• 1 – 1/2″ circle for the mouth, colored cardstock
• 2 – smallest Layering Oval framelits for the inner ear, Gingham Gala or dotted DSP
• 2 – next size up of oval framelits for ears, Whisper White
• 1 – 1″ circle punch, Whisper White, cut in 1/2 for the feet
• 1 – 1-1/8″ scalloped circle, Whisper White for the tail on the back of the box (not shown)

Sponge around all of the white pieces with the color ink that matches the ears and nose. Glue the bunny together with any adhesive. Pop the muzzle up with Dimensionals. Draw eye detail with a white chalk marker. Tie a bow and adhere it to one ear with a Glue Dot. Glue the bunny to the front of the box. If you haven’t eaten all the candy by now, fill the boxes with your favorite candy treat! 🙂

Have a happy and blessed Easter weekend!
