In today's craft we have some amazing ideas to make on Easter. We must not forget these days because they are also very endearing and we can make funny animals to serve as accessories where to store sweets. We have recreated some Easter rabbits with cardboard tubes and we have filled them with candies. We have also made some fun turkeys with fabric that we have filled with sweets. It is a very fun craft for you to do with children.
The materials that I have used are:
For cardboard rabbit tubes:
- Cardboard tubes
- decorative paper
- a pom pom for the nose
- eva rubber of the color you want
- decorative paper of a different color from the previous one
- wool to make the whiskers
- decorative eyes
- candies
For the easter turkey:
- fabric of the color you want
- a small rubber band to tie the turkey's body
- candies
- yellow, orange, red and brown pipe cleaners
- decorative eyes
Additional materials for both crafts:
- a white sheet
- hot glue gun and its silicones
- scissors
- pencil
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
For the cardboard rabbit tube:
First step:
With this craft you can make several tubes, in this tutorial I will teach you how to do it with one. We take a tube and a piece of decorative paper, in my case I chose a somewhat thicker paper. We are going to stick the paper to the tube with hot siliconeAs it is a thicker paper and when glued with hot silicone, the paper will not wrinkle. With the excess paper from one of the parts, we leave a distance of 2 cm and make small transversal cuts towards the mouth of the roll. These cuts will be folded and glued to the inside of the tube. On the other side of the tube it is not necessary to leave any paper, we cut it to the edge of the tube.
Second step:
On a sheet of paper we draw the shape of the part of the rabbit's legs. First we draw the same circumference of the tube and attach the two legs. We cut out the sheet and it is the one that will serve as a template to make all the bases of the legs that we want. On a piece of eva rubber we draw the template we have made and cut it out. We glue this structure with silicone at the base of the tube, where we did not put the folds of the paper.
Third step:
On another piece of folio we make the ear templates and cut them out. We trace the templates on a piece of eva rubber and cut out the ears. On another piece of decorative paper we draw and cut out the inside of the ears. We glue them to the eva rubber ears.
Fourth step:
We cut small pieces of wool to simulate the mustache. With the silicone we are gluing the ears, the mustache, the pompom and the eyes. We already have our rabbit ready, it only remains to fill it with candies.
For the turkey craft
First step:
We take a piece of cloth and fill it with candies. We tie the bag that we have formed with a small rubber band. We take the yellow pipe cleaner and we make the turkey legs, We glue them to the bag with hot silicone.
Second step:
We take the rest of the pipe cleaners and we trim the beak, the parts that hang from the neck and head (caruncles), and the feathers on the back of its body. We glue everything with the silicone and glue the eyes. With this we have our craft ready.
