Instructions:
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Cut the box template
- Print the free paper bunny gift box template (find the link in the materials list above!) on white or coloured cardstock.
- Cut the shape from the cardstock. To cut the small slits, we recommend placing the box template on a cutting mat and cutting with a craft knife.
Step 3: Draw the bunny’s features
- Use pink marker to colour the inner part of both ears.
- Draw an outline for the face with pencil. (This allows you to easily correct any mistakes).
- Draw over the pencil with a fine tipped black marker. Add whiskers on either side of the face.
Step 4: Fold the box
- Flip the paper over so the face is toward your work surface.
- Fold each of the sides up on the dotted lines.
- Then fold both ears down (so they’re parallel with your work surface).
- Bring the back of the box (opposite the face) in toward the middle and slide the ear up through the left slit.
- Fold the right flap in, sliding the ear up through it.
- Add treats into the bunny gift box.
- Slide the front ear up through the bottom slit.
- Push the ear up through the second slit on the right, adjusting the box to push the face inside.
Step 5: Add the tail
- Add a small dot of hot glue to a white pom pom.
- Attach the pom pom to the back of the box.
- Your paper bunny gift box is complete!
- Have fun making bunny shaped gift boxes in all your favourite spring colours!
