Paper Bunny Using Cutouts & Templates

Let’s take a look at the step-by-step process below to make this adorable paper bunny craft.

Step 1: The Making of the paper bunny template

Step 1 - The Making of the paper bunny template

Want to create an adorable bunny craft project but don’t have time to design your own template? I’ve got you covered!

Similar to my other craft projects I have made this particular unique bunny structure myself.

Initially, I employed a pencil to sketch the framework of my beloved bunny, guided by my vivid imagination.

After incorporating the necessary corrections and refining the overall structure, I used a black marker pen to precisely outline and finalize the design.

Step 2: Paper bunny template source (Download it if you don’t prefer sketching)

Step 3: Choose the color themes for the cutout

Step 3 - Choose the color themes for the cutout

For this adorable bunny paper craft, I used pink and cream white paper sheets.

The pink paper sheets were used to cut out the shades and details of the bunny.

Feel free to choose your own preferred color scheme.

Step 4: Streamlining the Cutout Shapes

Step 4 - Streamlining the Cutout Shapes

I used cream-white origami paper to cut out the complete shapes of the bunny.

For the ear shades, nose, cheeks, and abdomen, I used a sheet of pink paper.

Lastly, I used black paper to create the bunny’s eyes. Since they were tiny circles, I used a paper punching machine to make two small circles.

Step 5: Shading the Bunny’s Tummy

Let’s begin with the assembling process of the paper Bunny’s structure.

To begin with I will first place the Bunny’s Body structure as the base.

Next, I will stick the cutout resembling the Bunny’s Tummy in pink.

Step 6: Assembling the arms and Head

Following the anatomy of the bunny, I began by attaching the arms to the facial structure.

Next, I secured the arms to the base structure of the paper bunny.

Step 7: Assemble the Ears and Draw the Mouth

Step 7 - Assemble the Ears and Draw the Mouth

To create the bunny’s ears, I used cream white paper and cut out the desired shapes.

For the ear shades, I used pink-colored paper, as shown in Image 7.1.

To assemble the ears, I will attach the left ear pointing upwards and the right ear curving downwards, as depicted in Image 7.2.

Lastly, to create the bunny’s mouth, I will draw the shape using a black marker pen.

Step 8: The Facial Impressions

Now comes the finishing touch i.e. bringing our bunny’s face to life.

First, I carefully attached the tiny cutout for the nose.

The eyes, being so small, were a bit tricky, but with a little patience, I managed to stick them on perfectly.

Finally, the pink cheeks (cutouts) were added, completing our adorable bunny’s features.

Final Thoughts

This adorable paper bunny craft is a delightful project for crafters of all ages, especially young children.

Choosing and using different colored paper allows children to explore color combinations and express their creativity.

In other words, it’s a perfect way to introduce them to basic crafting techniques like cutting, assembling, and personalizing.

The use of a template, downloadable for your convenience, removes any artistic pressure and allows even beginners to create a charming bunny.
