Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Gather all the supplies needed for this paper plate bunny craft. Having everything ready before you begin makes the process smooth and easy.

Craft supplies for a bunny paper plate craft including a white paper plate, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, pink and white paper, scissors, a glue gun, and a black marker on a wood-patterned surface.

Step 2: Trace and Cut the Pattern Pieces

Download and print the bunny patterns, then cut out with scissors. Trace the outer ears twice and the teeth once onto white cardstock, the inner ears twice and the muzzle once onto light pink cardstock, and the nose once onto bright pink cardstock with a pencil. You could also use colored craft foam or craft felt.

Step 3: Cut Out All Pieces

Cut out all the traced pattern pieces with scissors, making sure to cut inside the lines for a clean, finished look.

Step 4: Assemble the Ears and Muzzle

Attach the light pink inner ears to the white outer ears with a glue gun and glue sticks. Glue the nose to the top center and the teeth to the bottom center of the muzzle. TIP: Liquid craft glue also works here — just allow extra drying time.

Step 5: Make the Whiskers

Cut two black chenille stems into six pieces, each about 4 inches long. Draw dots on the muzzle and outline the teeth with a black marker, then glue three whiskers to each side of the muzzle.
