How to Make a Paper Cup Bunny

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Start by gathering all of the supplies you need. Having everything ready before you begin makes this craft much easier, especially when crafting with a group of children.

 

Step 2: Turn the Paper Cup Upside Down

Place the brown paper cup upside down on your table, with the closed bottom facing up. The cup will become the bunny’s head and body, while the open side at the bottom is where the wiggly legs will be attached.

Step 3: Punch Two Holes for the Legs

Use a hole punch to make two holes near the lower part of the cup. Space them about 4 cm apart so the legs hang nicely and the bunny can stand or dangle evenly.

 

Step 4: Add the Twine and Beads

Cut a piece of twine about 25 cm long. Tie a knot at one end and thread on one wooden bead. This will create the first foot and keep the bead from slipping off.

Now thread the twine up through one hole and back down through the other hole. Add the second wooden bead to the other end and tie a knot to secure it in place. You should now have two dangling bunny legs with wooden bead feet.

Step 5: Cut and Attach the Bunny Ears

Cut two long bunny ears from brown paper. You can make them narrow, wide, floppy, or upright depending on the look you want. Glue the ears to the top sides of the paper cup.

This is one of the most fun parts of the craft, because even small changes to the ears can give each bunny its own personality.

 

Step 6: Add the Bunny Face

Now it is time to bring your bunny to life. Glue on googly eyes or draw the eyes with a black marker. Add a pink pom-pom nose if you have one, or simply draw a nose with your marker.

You can also draw a small mouth and whiskers if you like.

Step 7: Decorate Your Bunny

To finish the craft, decorate your bunny with any extra details you like. We added a spring flower, which gives the bunny a cheerful seasonal touch, but this part is completely optional.

Children can also add bows, cheeks, or their own creative details to make each bunny unique.

A Fun Spring or Easter Craft for Kids

This paper cup bunny craft is such a fun activity for springtime. It fits beautifully into Easter themes, bunny themes, farm animal units, or general spring craft time. It is also a nice choice for classrooms because it uses simple materials and gives children the chance to create something cute they can take home.

Helpful Craft Tips

A few simple tips can make this bunny craft even easier:

• Pre-cut the ears for younger children

• Use thicker twine for easier threading

• Choose large wooden beads with big holes for little hands

• Instead of beads and pompoms, you can also use buttons or lids

• Let children draw the face if you do not have googly eyes or pom-poms

• Make a whole set of bunnies with different colors or expressions
