Prep Tips:
- Plates - We used 9-inch paper plates for this craft. Smaller sized plates will make a tiny bunny basket. For this craft you don't want to use the extra thick and durable paper plates because they will be more difficult to fold. In this case, a flimsy paper plate is probably the best option.
- Glue - If making this craft with kids, glue stick is probably the safest option. Tape also works well to hold the paper plate together. Grown-ups could also use a hot glue gun to assemble and secure the plates.
