Chick & Bunny Papier Mache Basket

  • Step 1Begin by giving your baskets a coat of white paint. Allow to dry. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting.
  • Step 2Paint one basket pink and one yellow. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3To create a bunny: Cut two ears from pink cover paper. Paint the inner ear pink. Allow to dry. Attach your ears to the inside of the basket with glue. To create your bunny’s face draw two eyes on a piece of white cover paper and cut out. Cut a triangular nose and mouth from pink cover paper. To create fluffy cheeks, break apart and fluff up a cotton ball. Attach with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4To create a chick: Cut two even lengths of orange chenille stems. Mould into feet and attach to the bottom of your basket with glue. Cut a triangular nose from orange cover paper. Attach two wiggle eyes and the nose with glue. Cut two lengths of ribbon and attach to your handle and lip of the basket with glue. Attach yellow feathers to the inside of your basket with glue.
  • If you plan to give the basket as a gift, line it with some tissue paper before placing your gift inside.
