Candy Dispenser Bunny Tutorial

I know it’s still March, but I’m thinking ahead to Easter, trying to get a head start on some Easter crafts!  Looking through Lori’s files, I found this adorable Bunny Candy Dispenser (SVG, Silhouette).  I thought it would be fun to make and give!  Take a peek…

 

This file looks complicated, but it’s really easy to assemble.  I’ve outlined the steps below…

Start by cutting your pieces.  I added the foot pads to the feet, the inner ears & nose to the face.  I also backed the bunny face with the black oval to show through the eyes and whiskers.

Next I covered the back of the bunny face with the solid piece to cover the black oval.

In the third photo I folded up the sides of the cover and glued in place.

Add the bunny face to the cover, aligning the bottom of the face with the bottom of the rounded part of the cover.

Next Start the base of the dispenser.  Fold the base and glue so it’s a box shape.  You then want to add the bottom to the base.  Fold down the tabs on the base, add adhesive.  Add the bottom panel as shown… you want the “hatch” to be on the side of the opening.

Once the bottom is attached, flip the base over.  To make the sliding drawer part, maneuver the side arms in through the hole in the base.  There are small slits in the front score lines, you want to fit the arms into those slits so they are held in place.  If the opening and closing of the drawer seems stiff, you can add baby powder to the arms before inserting them.  You can also make the slits slightly longer if needed.

Add the feet to the door of the dispenser.  You can then fill the dispenser from the top and add the cover.  The bunny face overlaps the feet to keep the door closed.

Now all you need to do is to decide what sweets to add to your dispenser!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
