Looking Ahead to Easter

I don’t mean to push past Valentines Day and rush into Easter, but I thought you might enjoy this bunny.

Two Christmases (is this a word?)  ago (!) the kids and I made all kinds of decorations using chipboard and origami.  (Here is a fun origami site!) One piece was a giant origami bell.  I’m still looking for the pictures to show you how cool they were – but in the meantime I’ve sized the bell down and made it into some cute little animals.  I’m going to share the bunny with you – and will share the directions for the fold as soon as I get the smaller diagram drawn up.  The cute idea for the feet was cased from Sandy MacIver from a bunny she did last year. 

stamp set – All Holidays
card stock – Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Sahara Sand, Hostess pack Sahara Sand DSP, Basic Black, Brilliant Blue
ect – Wide, large and small oval punches, 1 1/4″, 1″, 1/2″ and 1/4″ circle punches, Pastels

Working on the folding instructions today!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

  1. Too cute! Looking forward to seeing how to fold the bell body.

  2. wow, he is cute! Was also interested to see what you used as the base. I made these as Christmas decorations when I was a kid, I could remember that they were German and how to make them but could not remember what they were called. I put a tut on my blog a couple of years ago, even asked Beate but she had no idea! So it’s rather surprising to see someone else who knows them 🙂
