STEP 4 Put glue on heel of each foot,
then stick to bottom of container. Glue
a large pink pom-pom at back of
container for a tail.
HERE’S HOW
STEP 1 Pour blue glitter onto 1
plate and
purple glitter onto another. Stick toothpicks
into bottoms of eggs. Brush glue onto eggs
and roll large eggs in blue glitter and small
eggs in purple glitter. Poke toothpick end into
upside-down egg carton and leave to dry.
STEP 5 Cover back of Bunny's face in
glue, then stick to front of container.
Hold face in place with a rubber band
until the glue dries.
HERE’S HOW
STEP 1 Measure height of ice-cream
container as well as circumference around
the top. Add 1
cm to height measurement.
Draw a rectangle this size on one piece
of pink felt and cut out. Coat container in
glue and wrap felt around it. Fold under
excess felt, glue
Ir
to bottom of
the container
and let dry.
STEP 6 To make a handle, mark and cut
out a piece of cardboard, 4 x 30cm.
Apply glue to both sides and wrap in
leftover pink felt. Make a hole at each
end of handle with a hole punch. Make a
hole in both sides of container, near
the top. Bend handle, line up holes and
push a brad fastener through each to
secure in place.
STEP 2 Enlarge Leaf Wreath Diagram on
a photocopier so leaf is big enough to suit
plastic plate (see pic, above left). Trace
7 leaves on light green card and 7 on dark.
Cut out and fold each in half to make a crease.
STEP 3 Make a hole in centre of unused
plastic plate. Use this as a starting point to
cut out and remove middle of plate, leaving
the rim whole. Glue leaves to ring, alternating
colours, then eggs, alternating sizes. Let dry.
