What You’ll Need:

DIY Bunny Envelope Supplies

  • Empty Hiland Dairy paper carton (I used a Hiland Dairy Organic Milk carton)
  • Spray paint, spring colors
  • Hot glue gun
  • Glue sticks
  • Paper
  • Permanent marker
  • Craft foam sheets, spring colors
  • Card stock, white
  • Bunny-ear template
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Craft pom-poms, white

Instructions:

  • Rinse the milk carton with warm, soapy water. Towel-dry completely.
  • Cut the top and bottom off of each milk carton, then cut down each side, making four separate rectangles.

DIY Bunny Envelopes Step 1

  • In a well-ventilated area, spray-paint the label side of each rectangle. Allow to dry completely.

DIY Bunny Envelopes Step 2

  • Fold each rectangle in half so the painted side is facing out.
  • Using the glue gun, glue each side of each folded rectangle, leaving the top open, to create an envelope.

DIY Bunny Envelopes Step 3

  • Create a bunny-ear template on the paper and cut it out using scissors. Tip: You can find plenty of great bunny-ear templates online.
  • Use the bunny-ear template to trace the shape onto the foam sheets. Cut them out using scissors.
  • Use the bunny-ear template to trace the shape onto the card stock, and cut them out using scissors.
  • Using the glue gun, adhere one card stock bunny ear to each foam bunny ear. Tip: You can make the bunny ears from card stock slightly larger than the bunny ears made from the foam sheets to get the look I achieved.

  • Using the glue gun, adhere each set of ears to the inside of the front of each envelope.

  • Using the glue gun, adhere a set of googly eyes and a pom-pom to each envelope to create a bunny face. Complete each bunny face by drawing whiskers and mouths using the permanent marker.

Diva’s Tip:

If you don’t have googly eyes and pom-poms on hand, don’t worry! You can simply draw them with the permanent marker.
