How to Make a Paper Plate Bunny Ears Plate

Looking for an easy Easter craft or something for the Easter Bonnet Parade? This cute bunny ear hat is made out of a single paper plate and I’ll show you how easy it is to make.

Materials

• Dinner sized paper plate
• Scissors
• Pink marker
• Pen
• Template

 

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Cut around the ear points, ensuring the base of the ears stay connected to the rim of the plate.

Step 4

Colour the inside portion of the ears in pink and carefully bend the bunny ears upright.

Done!

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.
