Pringle Can Bunny
Pattern Instructions:
Here is a quick and easy little basket that the kids can make. The required supplies are few and the cost minimal. My sister made this little fellow for her 6 year old son and he thinks it's "very cool".
For small children you will need to cut the paper for them, but older kids should be able to manage on their own. Cut a piece of paper to fit the outside of the can you are using. Cut two ear shapes and two bunny feet, all from the same colour. Using another colour of paper, cut out the centres of the bunny's ears.
Glue the paper around the can, as shown in our sample photo, to cover any markings on the can. Glue the ears to front, feet to the bottom, ear centres and eyes to the face area.
Glue two pompoms side by side for the nose, with a third smaller pompom to centre bottom of the first two pompoms.
The handle is made using two chenille stems (one blue and one white), twisted together. To attach the handle, punch a hole through the sides of the can and twist the ends of the stems to secure.
I made these with my 3 and 5 year olds and they came out really cute. We used large yogurt containers which worked perfectly. Coffee cans would work well also or an oatmeal container cut down so not so tall.
great ideas
Hi - I think this is a lovely idea & you could easily adapt it for other containers eg. small square box, margarine or coleslaw tub, small tins etc. Re other comments above - if using soup cans (or similar) - you could get an adult to pre-drill or punch a hole either side for the chenille stems handle. Also, if you can not obtain these small pringles cans, just cut down larger pringles cans or or use a different type of tub eg. ones that gravy granules come in, as they are or cut down smaller, as liked.
This bunny is very cute, however, when going to make it for a class project, we noticed that they no longer make pringle cans this size! We have used soup cans instead. We could not punch a hole through the side of the can, and instead had to attach them in a different way.
HEY THIS BUNNY IS REALLY KOOL I TRIED IT AND IT CAME OUT AWESOME!!!!!!!
