Gather your supplies and get your creative juices flowing with this adorable paper plate bunny cars project. You won’t believe how cute these look when they’re finished – let’s get to creating!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Craft Scissors
- Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Cardstock or Construction Paper
- School Glue and/or Stapler
- Easter themed stickers, glitter, rhinestones etc.
Directions:
- First things first – cut your LARGE paper plate in half. Straight up the center! You only need ONE paper plate half per bunny car {but this is the perfect excuse to make TWO cars today!}
- Now go ahead and cut out a small section from your paper plate half, to make the car be more defined with a hood and cab. See our picture for an example.
- Next up – paint the paper plate car piece completely with your choice of color.
- Set aside your painted piece to let it dry completely.
- Now it’s time for making the paper embellishments! Grab all your cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out two large circular wheels, a small circular nose for the car’s light, a rectangle window, two bunny ears and his cotton tail for the tail pipe of the car.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out from the paper, it’s time to start assembling your bunny car.
- Glue/staple the cardstock embellishments in place on the paper plate.
- Finally – if desired, add anything else you like for that custom look {maybe even draw a person sitting in the front seat of the car} before displaying proudly!
- Now admire your beautiful Paper Plate Bunny Car work of art!
