Instructions

Bunny craft

Open up the paper napkin with the printed side facing down.
Fold the napkin in half - diagonally one way. Then open it up and fold it diagonally the other way (This will help give you a fold as a guide when you’re making your bunny ears).
Open the napkin up again and place a few foil covered chocolate eggs (or other fun treats) in the centre.
Using those diagonal folds as a guide, bring two corners of the napkin together on one side.
Then bring together the other two corners of the napkin.
You’ll end up with a boat shape (sort of), with the chocolate eggs at the bottom.
Carefully bunch everything together. You want to make sure you leave the two “ears” separate; so, be careful not to bunch them together when you’re doing this.
Twist the napkin a couple of times right over the top of the bundle of chocolate eggs to keep everything in place.
When you use gel pens on the wood, often the ink runs into the little crevices in the wood and it ends up looking messy.
To fix that, we recommend adding a small glob of white glue onto the wooden bead where you’re planning to draw the face.
Use your finger to rub the glue into a thin layer over the surface of the bead. The glue will create a barrier and the ink from your pens won’t run.
It only takes about 5 to 10 minutes for the glue to dry before you can draw on it.
Draw a bunny face onto the wooden bead - make sure you wait for the face to completely dry.
Then carefully twist the top of the paper napkin bundle until it’s small enough to fit through the hole in your wooden bead. Gently pull the napkin through the wooden bead and push it down so that it sits at the top of the chocolate egg bundle.
Pull apart the paper napkin “ears” at the top and shape them into your bunny ears.
Tie a ribbon around the bunny’s neck into a bow.
