How to Make a Paper Plate Bunny Ears Plate

 

Step 1

Flip the plate upside-down and use the template to mark out the ears on the bottom of the plate. Print off the bunny ear template; lay it over the plate, making sure the tips of the ears are within the inner circumference of the plate. Then trace over the lines firmly with a ballpoint pen, finishing the base of the ears at the inner rim of the plate. This should leave a debossed imprint to use as a cutting guide.   If preferred, use tracing paper or draw your own ear design directly on the plate.

Starting at the outer edge of the right ear, cut around the inner circumference of the plate, stopping when you get to the outer edge of the left ear.

Tip

If you want the hat to be a snug fit for a particular child’s head, make a cut at the back of the hatband and reposition the edges together to fit around the head. Tape to secure.
