I’m made from 227 popsticks!

My large size means I’m a perfect table decoration this Easter!

1. Use the guide provided on page 8 (which is not to scale) to lay out every second popstick on a flat surface (as your base), then glue the missing popsticks onto each end of your base popsticks.

2. Add the next layer of popsticks, gluing them between the highest popsticks in the previous layer.

This will gradually give your bunny height.

3. Continue to layer the popsticks on the highest points until you have 8 layers and every second popstick has 7 layers. Allow to dry.

4. Flip your bunny over. Along the base, glue another popstick to the rows that only have 7 layers. This will help your bunny to stand.

5. Create a pastel purple colour by combining white and purple paint.

Paint the inside of the bunny using this paint. Allow to dry.

6. Glue a pom pom to the back of the bunny to act as a tail. Your Popstick Bunny decoration is now ready to put on display!

Thread through the sewing needle and tie a knot in the end.

3. Pick the paper up, pinching along one of the diagonal folds and pushing the paper in towards the centre.

4. Working with the folds you have already created, bring 2 corners together on the left and 2 on the right.

5. Crease the folds to create a triangle.

6. Take the top left and right corners and fold them down to the bottom point. There is now a square within the triangle.

7. Fold the left and right corners of the square you have just created into the centre line.

8. Fold the bottom points upwards, aligning their edges to the outer triangle edges and creating 2 smaller triangles.

9. Fold the outer points of the 2 triangles you just created, back into the centre line and crease. You now have 2 mini triangles.
