Step by Step Tutorial
The Head
Cut a cork in half.
Paint all the corks and the two half corks gray.
Add hot glue.
When it dries, glue two pieces together.
Make a row of four corks, then glue five corks on top.
Now glue four corks in the center and two halves on two sides.
Continue by gluing five corks, then 4, and finally three on top.
Make sure you allow plenty of time for the corks to dry.
The Face
Trace the bunny’s face on a gray piece of paper.
The Nose
Draw the bunny’s nose on pink paper.
Glue the pink nose on the grey part of the face.
The Mouth
Draw the mouth on the bunny’s face.
The Teeth
On white paper, cut out a rectangle and cut out.
Once it’s cut out, trace the mouth on the white rectangle. Those will be the teeth.
Cut out the part you outlined, and glue the teeth to the bunny’s mouth.
Make a line down the center of the teeth to look like there are two.
You can also add tiny freckles to the bunny’s face.
The Eyes
Draw two eyes on the black paper, and cut them out.
Draw white spots on the black eyes.
The Cheeks
Draw circles on pink paper; this will become the blush for the cheeks of our bunny.
Glue the nose and teeth onto the corks.
We’re going to add the eyes. Apply glue on the black ellipse-shaped eyes on which you draw two small dots with white chalk paint.
Glue the pink cheek blushes onto the sides.
The Eyelashes
Now is a great chance to add a little detail to the bunny.
We’re going to draw eyelashes with a black marker.
The Ears
Draw two ears on the gray paper, and cut them out.
Trace the inside of the ears onto pink paper.
Glue the pink ears inside the gray ears you have already cut out.
Glue the ears to the back of the rabbit’s head.
The Mustache
Cut small pieces of white chenille and glue them on as mustache.
They will make an enjoyable addition to the bunny!
The Bow
Tie a pink ribbon into a bow around the neck.
Cut the ribbon to make the bunny look complete.

We love how it turned out.
You can use more corks to make a whole family of bunnies.
