Easter Bunny Cricut Craft

The first step to creating this paper bag Easter bunny craft is to download the bunny ears template. After you grab your printable, you can start putting everything together.

To make your paper bag bunny, you’ll need to start by downloading the free printable ears and bowtie. Get yours by signing up for my newsletter here.

After subscribing, you’ll receive a welcome email with a password exclusively for my subscribers. If you don’t see the message shortly after submitting your contact information, be sure to check your junk or spam folders and add my email as to your safe list! I’ll keep you up-to-date on new freebies on a regular basis after that.

Once you receive the password delivered to your inbox, you can access the freebie page. There, you’ll find two different versions of the printable template:

• PNG: You can use the PNG version of the ears and bowtie to print then cut the design in Cricut Design Space.
• PDF: If you don’t have a Cricut, download the PDF version to cut out the ears and bowtie using scissors.

If you plan on using your Cricut to cut out the template, keep reading to get detailed instructions on how to cut the file. Once you download the PNG from my freebie page, simply upload the file into design space. After that, select the Print then Cut Image option.

Resize the elements of the template file, if needed, to fit on your paper bag. Then, hit the Make It button and select your printer. Place a sheet of white cardstock in your printer and print the template.

After the design is finished printing, put the printed paper on your cutting mat and load it into your Cricut. Then hit the start button on your machine to cut out each ear and the bowtie. Remove the pieces from your cutting mat and give them to your kids to make their own popsicle stick bunny.

How to Make a Paper Bag Bunny

In addition to using your Cricut to cut out the pieces for your Easter bunny craft, you can also use scissors. Just download the PDF version of the printable from my freebie page and print it out on cardstock. Then, use scissors to cut out each ear and the bow tie around the outer edge of each piece.

After your pieces are cut out, you can start putting your Easter bunny craft together. First, place the bag on your work surface upside down with the bottom flap of the bag on the top. Then, place a pair of googly eyes on top of the flap.

Next, create the whiskers for your bunny by cutting two white pipe cleaner in half. Line up all four pieces evenly, then twist them together in the center. After that, spread the pieces apart to create the look of whiskers.

Glue the pipe cleaner whiskers under the eyes, making sure to hold them in place until the glue dries. Then, use a black market to draw a bunny mouth on the center of the bag under the whiskers.

Finish making the face of your paper bag bunny by gluing a button onto the top of the whiskers. Hold the button in place until the glue dries.

After that, all that’s left to do is add your bunny ears and bow tie. Glue the bunny ears to the top of the bag above the eyes. And glue the bow tie under the mouth.

Once you have all the pieces glued in place, allow the glue to dry completely before your kids start playing.

Easter Bunny Paper Bag Craft Ideas

This cute craft is such a fun way to celebrate the Easter holiday. As you’re putting your Easter Bunny together, you may have questions along the way. Take a look at these common questions for more Easter crafting ideas.

How do I make an Easter Bunny paper bag puppet?

Turning this craft into a cute puppet is so easy! After all the decorations on the top of the bag have dried, simply slide your hand into the opening at the bottom of the craft. Stick your fingers through the flap at the top and keep your thumb in the bottom half of the bag, forming a C shape with your hand. Move your fingers and thumb toghether and apart to make the bunny puppet talk.

Which file should I use with my Cricut?

After signing up for my newsletter and heading to my freebie page, you’ll notice there are two different file types to choose from. If you plan to use your printable with your Cricut, you’ll need to use the PNG version of the file. This file features a transparent background, which is essential for your machine to cut the pieces correctly.

After downloading the PNG, just upload it into Design Space, select the Print Then Cut option and Make It to print then cut the template.

Which file should I use if I don’t have a Cricut?

If you don’t have a Cricut, don’t worry! You can still use this template to make your own paper plate bunny. If you’re not using a Cricut, you’ll need to download the PDF version from my freebie page. After downloading the PDF, just hit the print button to print out your template. Then, use a pair of scissors to cut out each piece around the outer border.
