Jelly Bean Bunny Bags

These bags are quick and easy to make and sure to be a real hit with any classroom or Spring Party.

SUPPLIES:
Plastic Bag (sandwich size works well)
Popsicle Stick or Craft Stick
One 2 Inch White Pom Pom
Two Small White Pom Poms
White Craft Fun Foam
Pink Felt
One Medium White Pom Pom
One Tiny Pink Pom Pom (white will work also)
One Tiny Red Pom Pom
One White Bumpy Chenille Stem (white pipe cleaner will also work)
One Pink Chenille Stem (material or felt will also work)
7mm goggle eyes
Aleene’s Tacky Glue
Pink or White Thin Ribbon (yarn or thread will work also)
Jelly Beans

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Fill a sandwich baggie about half full with Jelly Beans.

2. Cut about 3 inches from your pink or white ribbon (yarn or thread).

3. Use the ribbon to tie the baggie close (making your baggie into a closed pouch).

4. Take a craft stick and glue it to the baggie of Jelly Beans leaving some stick above the top of the baggie. Set aside to dry.

5. Glue your 2 small white pom poms to the 2 inch white pom pom (just below the center of the pom pom).

6. Between the two white pom poms (just above them), glue your tiny pink (or white) pom pom. Your bunny head should now have a nose.

7. Just under the 2 white pom poms, glue the tiny red pom pom. This makes your mouth (tongue).

8. Above the nose, glue on two goggle eyes. Your face is complete.

9. Glue your bunny head onto the craft stick.

10. Take a pipe cleaner and make a teardrop shape from it (proportioned to the bunny head).

11. Cut a teardrop shape from the material or felt (you can also use Chenille stems).

12. Glue the pipe cleaner around the material or felt (these are the ears). Set aside until dry.

13. Once dry, glue the ears onto the head.

14. Glue the medium pom pom (or cotton ball) to the back lower part of the Jelly Bean bag.

15. From the white craft foam, cut two peanut shapes. On one end of the peanut, cut three small bumps (for toes).

16. From the pink felt, cut six small circles and two larger ovals (these will be for the toe and bottom of the feet pads).

17. Glue one small felt circle on each toe.

18. Glue one oval to the other end of the feet.

19. Glue the feet to the front bottom of the Jelly Bean bag.

20. Cut two “mitten” shapes from the white craft foam (these are the hands).

21. Glue the hands to the sides of your bag.

* Hand these out in a classroom or make them for your children and grandchildren.
