Tips & Troubleshooting
Sturdy Templates:
Print the templates on card stock or glue them onto cardboard for extra durability. This makes coloring and cutting a breeze, and your bunnies will have a solid foundation.
Clay Caution:
When adding clay to the bottle caps, ensure it’s evenly distributed for a balanced rock. Experiment with the amount to achieve the perfect wobble without tipping over.
Double-Sided Tape Magic:
If you’re feeling impatient or want a mess-free option, opt for double-sided tape to attach the bunny to the bottle cap. It’s quick, clean, and bunny-friendly!
Variation Ideas
Add Sparkle:
Embrace the glitter! Add a touch of sparkle by dusting your adorable bunny craft with glitter or using glitter glue. These bunnies will not only rock but will also shine!
Egg-stravaganza:
Want to add more bobble-toys to your crew of bunnies? Turn some more bottle caps into mini Easter eggs. Paint them in vibrant hues, add patterns, and let the bunnies guard these tiny treasures. You can set up this activity as a craft station at the end of your Easter egg hunt as a great way to start off your Easter morning festivities.
