Origami bunny favor boxes

You know I have a weakness for 3D paper anything, so when I saw an instructional video for origami rabbit cups designed by Jacky Chan at Origami Spirit, I had to try it. The video moves along briskly so I had to rewind repeatedly, but I prevailed. Hey, now that nobody uses tape anymore, is it still called rewinding? What's it called? But I digress. Go fold some Easter bunnies. If you use 6" origami paper, an egg will fit nicely inside.

    Back it up? No, that's what you're supposed to do with your computer data. "Rewind" works for me. ;)

    Sooooo CUTE!!

    Love the bunny—will have to try that. btw, "rewinding" is called scrubbing. I know, what a weird term.

    Thanks so much for this idea. I'll have my older son whip up a bunch for the younger's bday party next week. Most excellent--entertaining & practical. Couldn't have been more timely!

    This is a super idea - does anyone know if it is large enough to hold an Easter egg?

    E'clair, this bunny (if made with 6" origami paper) is just the right size for an egg.

    Thanks for sharing. What a great idea for an Easter egg holder. Would be cute to have one by everyone's plate for our Easter lunch.

    I used 12"x12" scrapbook paper to make the bunnies, and they turned out perfectly! They are just big enough to have a little green Easter grass and a plastic egg filled with goodies. I'm an avid howaboutorange reader and always love your posts!

    Happy Folding!
