Instructions

Step 1: Find what you need

  • Gather your supplies and materials.

Step 2: Cut the pieces for the bunny

  • Print our free honeycomb bunny template.
    (We recommend printing the template on cardstock or copying the pattern onto cardboard for a sturdy template that's easy to trace).
    Honeycomb-Bunny-1
  • Trace the ear template onto coloured cardstock and cut 2 pieces.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-2
  • Trace the bunny body onto the same colour of cardstock and cut 20 pieces.

Step 3: Fold and glue each bunny body piece

  • Fold each of the body pieces in half vertically.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-4
  • Open the fold and add 3 horizontal lines of glue to the right side: 1 at the top, 1 just a bit above the center, and 1 at the bottom.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-5
  • Fold in half again, pressing down to make it stick.
    Repeat for the rest of the pieces.

Step 4: Glue the bunny bodies together

  • Add 2 horizontal lines of glue to the folded shape: 1 at the neck area, and 1 in the middle of the body.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-7
  • Set one of the other folded body shapes on top. Line up the edges as you connect the 2 pieces of paper.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-8
  • Repeat this process until all the papers are connected.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-9
  • Make sure the edges are well lined up, then attach a couple of medium sized binder clips to keep the papers together as the glue dries.
    (It will take several hours for the glue to dry, but we prefer to leave it overnight.)

Step 5: Connect the 2 sides

  • Once the glue is completely dry, remove the binder clips and slowly open the papers to reveal a honeycomb shape.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-11
  • Add 2 lines of glue to one of the flat sides (the former top or bottom of the bundle).
    Honeycomb-Bunny-12
  • Bring the outside edges together, creating a rounded bunny shape. Secure the papers in place with small binder clips as the glue dries.

Step 6: Add the ears and tail

  • Once the glue has completely dried, remove the binder clips, and add a small line of hot glue to the bottom of one ear.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-14
  • Put the ear in place on the top of the bunny's head, sliding it between 2 of the papers. Repeat with the second ear.
    Honeycomb-Bunny-15
  • Add hot glue to a white pom pom and attach it to the bottom back of the bunny, creating a cotton tail.
