Shredded Paper Stuff Bunny Craft
At Glued To My Crafts we absolutely LOVE the thought of a cheap and really easy craft idea!
I know first hand that spending tons of money on a kid craft is overrated & if it involves a lot of steps – forget about it! I’m out!
So what if you told you that today’s crinkle paper bunny craft idea is NEARLY on the free spectrum AND it only has about THREE steps to it. Would that get you excited?!
Many of us already have sandwich bags in our pantry right now {free} and more than likely, you are either going to be buying or somehow receiving some Easter basket crinkle paper in the coming weeks.
Right? It just seems inevitable that you will have a hand full {or two} by the end of the season. It’s typically something you just throw away because you have no use for it. Right?
So my dear friends, why not up-cycle that “messy” paper and make some cute bunnies instead?! I’m plugging this as toddler friendly craft {because it’s really easy for their little hands} but older kids would probably enjoy this idea as well!
One last thing – Dollar Tree is my best suggestion for picking up a cheap bag or two but Walmart & Target are also just as great. And remember – although I used white for the purpose of this tutorial, bunnies come in ALL colors this time of year, so if you have pink, blue or yellow crinkle paper, this DIY will still work regardless!
Find all the crafty details below, as well as a FREE BUNNY BODY PRINTABLE to get you started even faster today!
Happy crafting my friends and may your EASTER holiday be extra creative!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your shredded paper bunny creations on our Facebook page to see when you are done! #gluedtomycrafts
