Easter Bunny Box

Before I went to the pain specialist the other day, I stopped by my Stampin' Up demonstrator's store to pick up my order.  While I was there, she was working on the cutest Easter card that was simply made  from circles and ovals. That card inspired me to see if I could turn it into an Easter gift box. I ended up with the following:

The cut files and tutorial have been posted on the cricut web site. I also made a template on my computer. I am going to try to get it to load on here.

Not sure why they turned out different sizes, but at least they are there. In order to get them, you will have to copy and past them to a word document or some sort of graphics program, re-size them, and print them off.

This is how you build it:

1. Cut out shapes
2. Assemble Box
3. Cut about ½” from bottom of 4.5” circle.
4. Adhere 4.5” circle to box so that the cut end is even with bottom of box and so that box opens toward circle. (body)
5. Adhere 0.5” circles to 0.75” circles
6. Adhere this compound to 1” circles (These are the eyes).
7. Adhere 1.5”x 1” oval to indented oval (This forms the nose area).
8. Refer to picture and adhere eyes with adhesive of choice and nose with mounting tape/pop dots to head.
9. Adhere 2.8”x2.9” leaf to 2.2”x2.3” leaf to form ears.
10. Adhere ears to head. (I chose to curl mine somewhat to make them look floppy.
11. Adhere head to body
12. Adhere 1.75”x 2” ovals to front of box as in picture.
13. Adhere 10.5”x0.75” strip to center of body so that they wrap around body and box.
14. Adhere mittens to strip so that thumbs are facing up when holding box.
15. Adhere “arms” to box.
16. Decorate as desired.

Have fun with this! It's not my most elegant project, but I think it did turn out cute, and it has much potential for embellishment.

 

C&C welcome!
