Cardboard Roll Yarn Wrapped Bunnies

Supplies needed:

Bunny Template
Multi-color yarn
Cardboard rolls
Cardstock – brown, pink, blue
Acrylic paint – pink, blue
⅝” circle paper punch
Black sharpie
Googly eyes, small
Glue stick
Scissors

First, if you want to do the painted version of the bunnies, paint the cardboard rolls.

Let dry completely. The instructions are the same for all the bunnies from here on.

Cut two 1” snips on opposite sides on both ends of the cardboard roll.

Grab a long strand of multi-color yarn and insert into one of the snips. Then begin wrapping.

Wrapping and wrapping and wrapping. Once done wrapping, insert the final end into one of the other snips. Trim any yarn ends if needed.

Now cut all the pieces for the bunnies by first printing the bunny template, then tracing the template pieces on the cardstock of your choice. Cut out.

As well as two inside ear pieces of a different color.

Glue the inside ear to the ears and then glue to the back of the bunny head shape.

Punch out a small circle using the ⅝” hole punch in the same color cardstock as the inside ear. Place in the center of the bunny face. Adhere googly eyes, too.
