How to Make an Origami Bunny

A great craft for kids and adults to try their hands at this spring are these adorable origami bunnies. Not only are they easy to make, but they are super cute and will make adorable decorations anytime this season — especially for Easter. In our video tutorial above, Good Housekeeping‘s Visual Styling Director Elisabeth Engelhart is walking us through step-by-step instructions on how to DIY paper rabbits. By the end, your furry friend will have floppy ears and a little bunny tail.

After you’ve made three or so, you can use them as decor for a table, mantel, or just about any room in the house. We used pastel hues, but feel free to use any color paper you’d like to go with your decor. And when you’re done making these little critters, try your hand at paper Easter eggs.

How to Make Paper Origami Bunny Rabbits:

1. Fold your paper diagonally and fold the top corner to the bottom. Make sure to create a deep crease.
2. Take the right corner and fold it down to the bottom corner. Repeat on the left side.
3. Bring the left and right corners to the center. Giving each a deep crease.
4. Fold the left and right inner flaps to the outer edges of the paper.
5. Unfold the right flap and open it up. Make sure each side of the right flap has two pieces of paper. Then, stick your finger inside to fold the flap down. Repeat on the left side.
6. Flip your shape over and fold it in half vertically, and then turn it so the flat line is on top.
7. On the right side, you should have a loose flap, which you’ll fold over to the left side.
8. Flip your shape over, and fold the left-side flap over to the right side.
9. Fold that flap in half into itself.
10. Flip the shape over and do the same thing on the other side.
11. Fold the front flap over the ear line. Make sure you press hard to get a crease. And then unfold. Flip over and do the same thing on the other side.
