Step-By-Step Tutorial
Bookmark from a paper clip and a foamiran
Total Time: 30 minutes
Step 1: Prepare all materials for work
You need a blue foamiran to make a bunny figure. You can also use felt or pieces of old tight jeans – anything that is not a waste.
Step 2: Create a head and ears
Draw a circle 4-6 cm (1,5748” – 2,3622”) in diameter on the prepared sheet and cut it out along the outline. You need to decorate a small paper clip, so the bunny should be small. Cut out two blanks for fun asymmetrical ears.
Step 3: Create limbs
Cut out the little paws: arms and legs. These details are needed to create the figure.
Step 4: Glue all the pieces together
First glue the ears on top, then the paws on the sides, and the legs on the bottom. You have the body of a funny bunny.
Step 5: Create a face for a bunny
Cut out small eyes and teeth from white paper and glue them to the center circle. Use a pen to draw a mouth, eyebrows, and fingers. Add dots to the eyes with a black marker. Cut a small nose from pink foamiran and glue it to the face. The upper piece for decorating the paper clip is finished.
Step 6: Prepare the paper clip
Glue it to the other side of the figure. You can cut another circle for the reverse side to hide the joining point of all the pieces.
