Illustrated Craft Tutorial - Stitched Paper Bunny Plant Stick Tutorial

Upcycle boxes to create cute plant sticks that can be used to embellish your green plants or even as centerpieces on the Easter table.

 

 

Paper Easter Bunny Plant Stick - Creating Template

1. Print out the pattern so that the bunny measures about 17 cm in size. Glue the pattern onto a cereal box or similar and cut out. Now you have a stable template to use for the next steps.

2. Trace the pattern on the backsides (one side with the figure reversed) of two box sides as well as on the backsides (one side with the figure reversed) of two sheets of scrapbook paper. If the box sides have a corrugated grain, trace one bunny with a horizontal grain and the second bunny with a vertical grain. This will prevent the shape from bending.
