Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Scissors
• White poster board
• Pencil
• Pink construction paper
• Craft glue
• Flexible measuring tape
• Tape or stapler
• Easter stickers, cotton balls, glitter or ribbon (optional)
• Markers, crayons or colored pencils (optional)

1. Cut a piece of white poster board measuring about 4 inches by 18 inches. Remember that you can modify the size of your Easter bunny ears depending on their final purpose.
2. Fold the white poster board in half lengthwise and carefully draw the shape of your bunny's ears onto the paper. Cut through both layers of poster board to create both ears.
3. Use the pink construction paper to cut out the inside portion of your Easter bunny ears, making them the same shape and just slightly smaller than your white construction paper ears. Pink is the most common color, but there is no reason why you can't get creative and use baby blue, purple or other festive Easter color.
4. Apply a thin layer of craft glue to one side of each pink inner ear portion and place it on top of the white poster board ears, centering the pink portion as best as possible.
5. Measure around your head to determine how long to cut the band that will hold your Easter bunny ears. Cut a strip of white poster board, adding two inches to your head measurement to determine the length and making the strip about 2 inches wide.
6. Form the band into a circle and attach with glue or staples. Position your bunny ears on the band so that they are evenly spaced behind the head, pink portion facing forward. Attach them as well with staples or glue.
7. Add the final touches to your Easter bunny ears, decorating them with glitter, stickers, cotton balls ribbons or anything your imagination desires.
