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!
A rabbit made from a single sheet of origami paper
