It only took me a couple of years and trying a couple of different techniques to get this bunny rabbit costume right. But I think I have finally did it, I finally made a bunny rabbit costume head/mask out of cardboard that I'm happy with.
Originally I was thinking it would be great as a cardboard Easter Bunny costume, but it would also make an awesome bunny rabbit character like Peter Rabbit, the White Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland or even a character from Watership Down.
This template is probably for a more experienced crafter but it is quite simple if you follow the walk through video and use the right type of cardboard.
This is the perfect Easter Bunny Costume to make out of up-cycled materials this Easter. There is no need to wait for parcels to arrive in the post, download the template and get started straight away.
So if you want to make the best cardboard Bunny Rabbit Costume this year
here is what you will need:
- Bunny Rabbit Head digital download
- Single walled cardboard
(The best cardboard for this type of helmet is strong 2mm think cardboard which is firm and stiff, not flimsy)
- Letter/A4 printer
