I've seen this craft floating around on Pinterest for a while, so I thought with Easter around the corner, I would give it a try. It was REALLY fun, and SUPER easy!! No fancy paper crafting tools!
What you'll need:
- At home printer
- Google Image Bunny/Egg Silhouette x2
- Glue/double sided tape
- Xxacto Knife/ Scissors
- Scrap paper strips/bought
- Empty Frame
- Cardstock
An empty frame I found in my bedroom closet! Score!
Print two copies of the silhouettes. I highly recommend using cardstock!
I have a picture of what happens if you use regular computer paper at the end of this tutorial.
On ONE of the copies, use scissors or Xxacto knife to cut out the inside out.
Be sure to cut AROUND the printed lines. They will show up in the end.
Layout your scrap paper to see what order you'd like the colors to be in.
You can even put the cut out on top to see if you like the combinations or not.
Cut your scrap paper into how ever wide you want your strips.
These are 3/4 of an inch, though I later changed it to 1/2 an inch.
I used a ruler to make sure each strip was on even, as I laid them down.
Using the double sided tape I laid each strip down, making sure the strip covers the bunny.
You don't have to lay your strips even like this, I just happen to cut them the same length.
As long as the bunny is covered, that's all that matters.
I put double sided tape on the BACK of the cut out rabbit.
Making sure to put it around the inside of the cut out.
Because the rabbits are the same size, I can put the cut out rabbit on top of the paper and it will line up! Also. This is what happens when you only use computer paper. You can see the strips of paper!
Even when I put it in the frame, you could still see the long strips through the rabbit.
So, I redid it with cardstock, and it turned out MUCH better!
Ta-Da! You did it!! How cute is that??
I hope you decide to try this craft! It was super fun!!
