Hi everyone, Sandee here with some cute Easter treats that you can easily make for your friends, co-workers or anyone that needs a special bunny treat. I like to make small gifts for my neighbors and hang them on their front door knobs so they get a surprise when they open their door in the morning. Each one of these comes ready to hang up filled with candy!
First you take a cardboard tube and make a bottom for it. ( We don't want our candy to fall out! ) Trace the tube onto a piece of cardstock and trim around the circle aprox. .25" so that you can cut out flaps, bend them and glue around the base. Make sure to cut an opening for the legs too! Once you have adhered it the base of the tube with your Helmar Tacky Glue then cover the tube with a piece of white paper.
Next I altered the bag of treats that I purchased to go inside the tubes for 2 reasons. 1. They were too big and I had to remove some of the candy ( oh darn, right? I ate them, lol ) 2. Once I unfolded the bags toppers I discovered I could cut around the outside of the ears, glue them together and then retie them back with an even prettier ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Make sure to cut only around the outside of the ears so they will remain upright and not flop over. The edge of the bag where my cutting stopped is easily tucked in before you add the ribbon.
Next I added my faces onto the front. The nose needed special attention since I wanted to layer the nose and whiskers together so I used my trusty Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots because it works wonderfully for all uneven bumpy surfaces. I couldn't decide which face to make so I made 3 different ones!
1. Martha Stewart pearls
2. The Buckle Boutique cutable Rhinestone sticker sheets
3.random heart button and googly eyes
And every bunny needs a cottontail so I glued a cotton ball to their backsides with the Helmar Tacky Glue.
I had to have some fun posing one of them sitting on the little chest with his leg crossed over his knee, they are just too cute and are lots of fun to make.
Make an bunny treat and surprise someone!
