Materials:
- cereal box (or other cardboard)
- duct tape (white and pink)
- hole punch
- scissors
- exacto knife
- pencil
- string
- cutting mat
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut out the front or back panel of the cereal box so that it lays flat.
Step 2: Using your pencil draw the shape of the mask and cut it out. This is a great job for the kids! Give them a pencil in case they need to erase and re-draw. Kids can draw freehand or use a template.
Step 3: Using the exacto knife, cut out the eyes.
Note: Later on I ended up making the eyes bigger than shown here. After my son tried on the mask, I saw the eyes needed to be larger—it’s a trial and error thing based on the size of your child’s face.
Step 4: Place the mask down with the printed side of the cereal box facing up. Cut strips of the white duct tape and cover the mask. Even the eyes!
Step 5: Using the exacto knife, cut around the shape of the mask through the duct tape. This is also a good time to cut the eye holes bigger, if needed, or change the size of the nose area (which I also did).
Step 6: Put a strip of the pink duct tape on the cutting mat and cut out a skinnier shape of the ears.
Step 7: Place the pink on the ears for that classic and fun bunny look!
Step 8: Take your hole punch and punch a hole on both sides of the mask. Try and make these as even as possible. It just makes the mask turn out better in the end.
Step 9: Cut your string and knot it onto either side of the mask. Now you are done! Attach it to your child and get ready for some Easter fun!
