What you need:
- Empty tin cans (three or more sizes)
- Felt
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Paper (black and pink)
Steps:
Step 1
Wash and dry the empty tin cans. Don’t forget to use a can opener that leaves a smooth edge – you don’t want to worry about any sharp edges on these bunnies! You can use as many cans as you like, as long as they fit together. I used a tomato paste can, a regular-sized refried beans can, and a tomato sauce can. I don’t normally buy those large cans of apple juice, but I might have to just to add another large bunny to this set!

Step 4
Use hot-glue to secure the ears along the top edge of the can, and then wrap the rectangle of felt on top, gluing this in place to secure on the back so that the seam isn’t visible from the front.

Step 5
Use scissors (or a hole punch) to cut small circles from black paper for the eyes. Cut a pink paper triangle for the nose, and a thin strip of black paper for the mouth.
