Put a little Japanese flare into Easter by making an origami Easter bunny
Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper. Here's a twist on the Origami frog...it's an Origami bunny that the kids will really enjoy making this time of the year.
All it takes is a 3 x 5 card and you're ready to begin the project. Just follow each of these folding steps and glue on the bunny ears. Soon enough you will be finished with the project.
- Place the card in a "portrait" mode.
- At the top of the card, take a corner, and fold it down until the top edge and the side edge meet.
- Open card flat Repeat with the other corner.
- Now you have an "X".
- There should be two creases on the top of your card If you did these steps correctly, they should form an "X" at the top of the card.
- Make a crease that runs through the middle of the "X" Mountain fold (fold 'back') the top right through the middle of the "X"
- Collapse the paper on the pre-made creases.
- Fold the outer corners of the triangle to the top.
- Fold the sides to the middle.
- Fold the bottom edge to the top
- Fold top edge of the front layer to the bottom edge.
- Turn over
- Glue (or tape) two bunny ears to the top.
To Make Bunny Hop:
Loosen the front and back legs so that the bunny is not flat. Tap at the back--and the bunny will jump.
