This Pringle Can Bunny is a great Easter craft for children with easy to follow instructions. You can use a similar, small-sized chip can from any brand of chips; it’s a wonderful way to upcycle these types of containers.
The finished bunny can be used as a basket for small Easter treats.
Supplies:
- Small Potato Chip can (Pringles)
- Construction Paper
- plastic eyes
- 3 yellow pompoms for the nose
- 2 chenille stems for the handle
- Craft Glue
- Scissors
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 six-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. Bunny feet can just be circles with part of the circle glued underneath the can.
For the ears, cut two “leaf” shapes in proportion to the pringle can. Use our photo as a guide. Using another colour of construction paper, cut out the same shape, just a little bit smaller, for the middle of the bunny’s ears.
Glue the paper around the can, as shown in our 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. Happy Easter!
