Easter Bunny Head Shaped Box

I’m hopping into Easter with this adorable new Easter Bunny Head Shaped Box (SVG, Silhouette) !  It’s so cute, and easy to assemble… it’s perfect to hold some sweet treats for your favorite bunnies!!  Take a peek…

I decided to add a little bow to my bunny using this 3D Bow (SVG, Silhouette) which I sized down slightly to fit the ear.  Below, is a quick guide to assembling this box.

When you open the file, the sides of the box top and box bottom are shown in the order they are attached.  Simply glue them together to form one long strip.  Both the top and bottom are assembled in the same manner. They each have 2 bunny head shapes.  One is slightly smaller.   For the top, starting where indicated (X), wrap the sides of the box around the smaller bunny head, gluing the tabs as you go. (tabs go on the outside of the bunny head shape)  Flip the completed piece over, and add the second, slightly larger bunny (be sure to add the black behind the eyes and nose first)  head to the cover, covering the tabs.  Repeat the same process with the bottom.

If you create any of these cute boxes, be sure to tag @loriwhitlock on Facebook and Instagram!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

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!

The belly boxes come in an array of animals and they are perfect for Easter baskets. I chose the Bunny (SVG, Silhouette) and the Chick (SVG, Silhouette) Belly Boxes. For a quick tutorial, you can see this blog post.

Easter Bunny Belly Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s Belly Box Easter Bunny  (SVG, Silhouette).  This adorable little treat holder is part of the 2021 March Kit of the Month (SVG), which is FREE with any $20 purchase from the Lori Whitlock Shop during the month of March.  Look for the coupon code in the item description.

In this photo tutorial, I will break down the steps to create this cute little bunny box!  I wanted my box to be a little bit bigger than the original design.  After opening the file in the Cricut Design Space, I increased the size by dragging the arrow in the bottom right corner.  If you are resizing a file, do it while all the elements are still grouped to keep the ratio between elements.  I set my file size to 13.848 x 11.5″ since my Cricut Maker doesn’t like to cut files larger than 11.5″ without using oversized papers.  The process is similar in Silhouette.

After cutting the file pieces, I inked the edges of the pieces.  After inking all of the individual pieces, I attached the paw pads to the paws and the ears to box bunny face.  At this point, it doesn’t matter which side of the bunny make the front, unless you are like me and your cardstock is a different color on each side.**

Next, you are going to attach the black rectangle to the back of the bunny face.  At this point, I folded the bow as well.  The pieces fold back to form the bow, and then you “tie” the matching strip around the bow. Hopefully, you can see the how the bow comes together in the picture below.

Attach the box-less bunny face over the back of the box bunny to cover the black rectangle.  Fold the box along the score marks, and add adhesive to the tabs on the box.

Attach the tabs to the front of the bunny and the front rectangle to create the box.  Then add your paws, bow, and bunny nose using foam tape.  (You can use regular adhesive, but I always like to add a little “pop” to my projects!)

Fill your Bunny Belly Box with candy, and it is ready to give to some-bunny special this Easter.

Don’t forget this adorable little treat holder is part of the 2021 March Kit of the Month (SVG), which is FREE with any $20 purchase from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop during the month of March.  Look for the coupon code in the item description.

Until next time,

Michelle

**Since my cardstock was light gray on one side and dark gray on the other, I cut two copies of the bunny belly box.  I cut off the box portion of the second one and attached it to the front of my bunny box.  I did this because I didn’t want my bunny face and the box body to be two different colors.**
