These bundles are a simple way to dress up a small bag of candy, a small toy, or other small gift. This is also a great way to stretch your budget—if you’re short on treats but have many to please, the packaging can be the major part of the treat. See also: Easter Carrot Bundles.

MATERIALS:

Your small treat

(Rounded forms work best. If you are wrapping a toy with an angular shape, or if you are wrapping loose candy or treats, you may want to wrap it first in a small plastic bag or a piece of paper towel, napkin, tissue paper, or even in a facial tissue.)

For the wrapper, you can use any of the following:

A paper towel; a paper napkin; a cloth napkin; a handkerchief; tissue paper folded into a square; a thin washcloth; a small, thin dishcloth; or any other square of relatively soft paper or relatively thin cloth

For the facial features, you can use any of the following:

Felt-tipped markers or pens, for features on paper; on either paper or cloth, you can glue on colored scrap paper (junk mail works fine); colored construction paper or other colored art paper; colored scrap cloth or felt; yarn, string, or thread; sequins, beads, or moving google-eyes purchased from a crafts store.

To glue on the features, you can use any of the following:

You can use almost any non-toxic glue if you are using paper, but if you are using cloth, you will want to use white glue, glue stick, rubber cement, or papier-mâché paste, which wash out easily.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: If using a paper napkin for your wrapper, unfold it into a large square. Spread your wrapper flat, and place your treat in one corner. (I’m using a paper towel and a small bag of cereal, to demonstrate.)

Step 2: Fold the corner of your wrapper over the treat, and roll the wrapper around the treat like a tube, until you reach the opposite corner.

Step 3: Fold the two ends up to the top of the bundle and carefully tie them together. (If the material is difficult to tie, you can fasten the ears together at the top of the bundle with a twist-tie from a bread wrapper, a pipe cleaner, a rubber band, or a clean hair tie, or you can use a piece of ribbon, yarn, or string, as long as you tie it in a granny knot on the back so the bundle is easy to open.) Twist, pinch and adjust the ends of the wrapper into bunny ears.

Step 4: Draw on the face, or glue on a face of cut-out shapes, sequins, beads — whatever you have. FINI!

Use your imagination! These bundles were made using everyday materials from around the house—thin paper bag material, a paper napkin, paper towels, and yellow tissue paper.

These bundles were made using bubble wrap, a washcloth, a man’s white handkerchief, and white tissue paper.

The washcloth bunny bundle has a nose cut from red velvet, mouth and whiskers of black yarn (pulled from an old sweater, so they would be curly), and purchased google eyes. The ears are tied at the top with string. For a great companion see Easter Carrot Bundles.
