Transform into a rabbit with a paper cup
Let’s make a bunny ear headband using paper cups! First, draw two vertical lines on each side of the paper cup.
Make each strip about 3 cm wide.
Cut along those lines, and on just one of the strips, cut off the rim.
Do the same with another paper cup, then overlap the parts where you cut off the rims and tape them together.
Next, trim the back portions of the cups that remain at the front and back, and you’ll have the base of the headband and the ear sections.
Round off the ear shapes, make slightly smaller inner ears from pink construction paper and glue them on, then attach rubber bands to both ends of the base.
It’s done! Hook it over your ears to wear it.
In conclusion
How did you like the Easter craft ideas? The motifs are just two—eggs and bunnies—but there are so many ideas that you’ll want to try them all. You can decorate your walls with them, use them in games, or enjoy dressing up like at Halloween. Enjoy Easter in lots of different ways!
