I saw a picture last year of a dollar store craft of bunnies made out of foam dice - but at the time I couldn't find foam dice so stuck the idea in my folder and promptly forgot about it. Until roaming the dollar store the other day and saw the dice - that's what happens when you stop looking for something, right? hahaha. Anyway - I bought a 2 pack and some balloons and made this cutie in a matter of minutes.
The original inspo picture I have is just using one dice per bunny, gluing ears on top, a tail in the back and a drawn on face. That's what I started out making but changed it by the end.
I decided to stack the 2 dice so the bunny has a 'body', either way is cute. I also decided to not add a face, when I was building it I thought it looked cute with just the ears and tail - if you want a face you can paint it on, draw it with a sharpie, or make stickers with a Cricut machine.
I bought light-colored dice but when I covered it with a white balloon I can still see the dots and a tinge of color, so I added a second balloon. You could fix that by making the bunny a different color.
I took tons of pictures, not because the steps are complicated, mostly just because it's so cute I couldn't stop myself LOL. I don't even really need to use any more words to tell you what I did, I pretty much give the instructions in pictures!
 |
| cut off the rest of the balloon tail so it's smooth |
 |
| add a second balloon but have the hole/tail end be on the other side of the dice from the first hole |
 |
| glue the 2 ends with the holes together |
 |
| cut out felt ears, pinch and glue the bottom to curve them slightly. Hot glue to the middle of the top dice. |
 |
| add decorations at the base of the ears. |
