You only need a few basic supplies to make a cute bunny tissue box Easter basket. Fill it with chocolate eggs, small toys or your favorite Easter treats!
Print out the bunny ears printable on white cardstock, cut them out and set aside.
Remove the top of a tissue box using scissors, begin cutting from the center, and work your way toward each corner. Finally, remove the remaining cardboard.
For the next step, you'll need two sheets of white cardstock, along with a ruler and a pencil. Use the ruler and pencil to mark each sheet at the 5-inch point. Then, cut both sheets into 5” x 11” strips.
Take the cardstock strips and glue them to the sides of the tissue box, ensuring full the sides of the box are completely covered.
To create a handle for your box, cut a 2” x 11” strip from one of the cardstock scraps. Then, staple the strip to the edge of two sides of the box.
To create the bunny face, measure 1.5” down and 1” in from either side of the box, and secure googly eyes with glue.
Place a craft foam heart in between the eyes to make a bunny nose.
Grab a black Sharpie. Write the letter J forward and backward to form the mouth and draw on whiskers.
Now fill the basket with candy, Easter eggs and Easter grass.
Notes
Let the glue dry: Some kinds of glue take longer to dry. Elmer's glue takes longer than most glue sticks, for example. Add a tail: A white pompom or cotton ball glued on the back makes a cute bunny tail. Get artsy: You can use black paint, white paint or even a pipe cleaner for the facial features.
