puppet rabbit doll
Let’s make a rabbit marionette that dances and sways freely! Since it’s made by modifying a paper cup, it’s easy for children to try.
First, draw and cut out the tail, ears, and hands on the paper cup.
Then draw a cute rabbit face on the bottom of the cut paper cup.
Next, make holes in the paper cup and thread string through to create the arms, legs, and body parts.
Finally, attach the head to the body, connect it with strings to a pair of crossed chopsticks, and you’re done.
Be sure to do the finer steps—like making holes in the cup and threading the string—together with a staff member or adult.
It’s also recommended to decorate your finished rabbit with pens and stickers.
Daruma rabbit
Let’s make a “Daruma Rabbit” by combining a cozy rabbit with the lucky Daruma doll! It’s a perfect craft for seniors who want to start the new year in a cheerful mood.
There aren’t any difficult steps, and it’s easy for anyone to make.
Create the Daruma body and the rabbit ears separately.
Once you finish, draw the rabbit’s face and ears, and add decorations to the Daruma—then it’s done! Layer round stickers into flower shapes and stick them on for a lovely touch.
You can also enjoy adding your own flair, like using origami with patterns you like.
Transform into a rabbit with a paper cup
When you want to enjoy dressing up, this craft that turns you into a rabbit is perfect.
In this project, you make a headband that uses paper cups as rabbit ears, and a mask that also uses paper cups as its base.
It’s an easy way to become a rabbit, so it could work well for recreational activities.
Once you learn how to make it, it will also be useful when you want to create costumes for other characters.
However, there are some more complex steps, such as threading strings, so assistance may be needed.
Also, be careful to prevent the strings from rubbing against the skin when worn.
Origami rabbit
This is a simple and cute bunny face doll made with origami.
Bunnies are fluffy, adorable animals loved by both adults and children.
They’re one of the twelve zodiac animals and are popular figures in events like Easter and moon-viewing festivals.
Once you learn this one folding method, you can use it as a decoration for such occasions.
The steps are easy, so try making them together with everyone.
To finish, draw the eyes, nose, and mouth with colored pens.
You can stick the finished pieces on the wall or display them in your room.
Try making lots in different colors or sizes!
Rabbit snowball fight
When you think of winter rabbits, you might picture white ones, but rabbits made from pink construction paper are cute too.
This wall decoration features rabbits made of pink paper having a snowball fight.
Since it’s winter, try making rabbits dressed warmly with knit hats, mittens, and boots.
Because it’s a snowball fight, creating lots of rabbits battling it out could make for a fun wall display.
Rabbits laughing after hitting their target with a snowball, or crying after being hit, would be amusing, too.
Seniors, please enjoy making these while adding your own creative touches.
Rabbit New Year decoration
This is a warm, handcrafted piece you can make with everyday materials like yarn and colored construction paper.
Create a fluffy pom-pom with yarn, fold the construction paper into an accordion fan, and place a colored-pencil rabbit illustration in the center to complete a decoration that beautifully blends New Year’s festivity with cuteness.
The charm lies in being able to make a softly textured piece without any special tools.
Display it in the entryway, on the wall, or on a shelf to instantly brighten the room and evoke the excitement of welcoming the new year.

New Year cute rabbit ornament
Although it’s a simple piece that can be made from a single sheet of origami paper, its rounded form is charming and gently brightens up any room.
The folding instructions are explained as clearly and carefully as possible, so even those not used to origami can tackle it with confidence—a nice bonus.
All you need are one 15×15 cm sheet of origami paper, two 4 mm round stickers, and a pen.
The finished size is about 7 cm × 7 cm—easy to display—and it takes only about 10–15 minutes to make, so it’s easy to try.
