 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Crowd, thank you for watching my tutorial today. This is project number seven and the last of my Easter series 2018. I hope you've enjoyed it, I've received so many lovely comments and messages and as always you just you make me feel so happy you guys you're just great so this is the one that we're finishing off with. The box, the actual bag itself is the same as the mini handbag, the dinky handbag and another handbag that I've made so I'll share all the links for those and these are actually made a few years ago and I made bunnies and chicks so I'm going to show you how to put the bunny together in terms of the accessories but I'm actually going to make the chick for the tutorial which is really really cute as well and it's just a really nice very simple he's got a lovely little fluffy tail on him as well stands up really nicely and then you just lift it up it's got velcro dot there and plenty of room for treats and I've got little mini eggs that are going to be going in side of this one so what you need bring in everything I've got here so I've already made my other bunny because I have been requested to do two bunnies and a chick so that's what I've got this is the piece that you will have left over once you cut your piece of 12 by 12 which is what this one's made from you'll have this piece left over and this is what you'll be using to make your bunny ears or any kind of accessories and stuff if you're using white because it's the white piece here which is the background for the ears so just keep all your scraps basically because you'll need them punches I'm using so I've got a two inch circle punch and I've got this one inch circle punch so if you've got don't have punches but you've got dyes then just get any dyes that are roughly that kind of measurement I've got hole punch but I also need the bigger one I've got the wrong one there and I've got all these little bits which are for my bunny I've already done some of his feet and stuff there and then I've got all the bits here for the chick as well so I'm going to talk you through everything they're really fun to make and they almost have little characters because everybody will put their kind of you know details in different places and even just by moving the eyes out slightly or higher you just give him a completely different face so it's quite fun to do as well right first of all let's get straight into it so with your piece of 12 by 12 I've got this really nice rich yellow color and this is from the paper mania colossal color pack 75 pages I'll share all the links but it's beautiful cards I've been using that a lot lately so pick a 12 inch side and you're going to score at 4 and 3 eighths of an inch 5 and 7 eighths of an inch 10 and a quarter and 11 and 3 quarters you should be left with a tiny little quarter inch tap here on the right hand side then rotate and you want to score it one and a half and a eight okay that is all the scoring done and you just want to burnish all of those score lines that's everything burnish there so with your one and a half inch tab at the bottom and your tiny little quarter of an inch inch tab on the right hand side just grab a pencil and just put a cross in the large this kind of small rectangle the big square and the other small rectangle just put a cross in those ones we're going to be cutting that whole section out yeah so if we just crack straight into that now so I was going to think about doing the decoration we'll do that bit after so just cut all the way down really nice and neatly I'm removing that bulky bit of the score line so I'm just cutting that out completely and then really neatly because this is obviously the flap part of your little box or bag that's going to be folded over just remove that completely okay so again with that quarter inch tab on the right hand side that's now what you should have then along the bottom you've got that one and a half inch tab just want to cut up each of these and then that very end one you're going to remove completely just cut it on a little angle there just notched off the ends of my tab and then just with the two small squares here as always just remove little wedges just so it makes it all nice and neat when we come to fold it all together I'm just going to remove any bulky bits there of the score line okay that's that all done now with this piece here just flip it around so now what we want to do is just round off these two corners here just to create like a face really for whatever animal it is that you're doing so I've just got a frame you know circle die here and with a pencil all I'm going to do is just line it up so the circle is hitting the side here and then also comes down to the bottom here and just round off the corner there and again on this side pop that down like so just draw it like that and then just very neatly you can rub out obviously any pencil but you just want to go over and just just rub out a little bit there so now that is the shape that you will have then we're going to run some red tape down on this side just remove your backing turn that one over and turn this one make sure this is completely flat first on this side first and as it is push it down kind of you know drag it towards it there and completely flush okay so now you can see it all coming together and this is going to flip over in a minute but before we do all of that turn it over and we can start to decorate and make him kind of come to life so what you are going to need is lots of orange bits and pieces and I've got a little orange tail I mean I know it's fluffy and I guess little chicks they are quite fluffy so I've used a fluffy tail but you could cut lots of paper like shredded and kind of have like a that kind of effect but it's entirely up to you okay so you need one piece of one by one one piece of two by two notes hang on a minute one piece of one by one two pieces of two by two and two pieces of two by three okay this one by one piece all you want to do is from corner to corner fold it in half okay if you didn't want to do it and you just want one you don't want it basically it's going to have his little beak it's going to be open like so if you don't want that you could just then cut down there and just stick that whole triangle on the paper but I've that was one I'm showing you this is the one I've got ready I'm going to run some glue along there and we're going to just stick it right at the bottom here facing upwards so it's 3d and it would just look like he's talking okay then with your pieces of two by two this is what I've already cut so I'm now going to show you what I've done on here so I'm just going to rub that measurement out and then very easily and again don't matter if you're you know a bit wonky and things like that it's it's not meant to look completely perfect you know so basically you just want to kind of start cutting in three quarters of the way up like so you see what I'm doing there going straight around in there like a curve angle come down again about three quarters of the way back down alright come back up again and then you want to line your scissors up with this point here and kind of start going straight up like so and again curve it around come back down and then go back up the other side and again just trim off and then just round off your edges like so once you've done that one stick it over your other piece of two by two trace around it or just cut around it and then you'll get two feet the same but there I have my two little feet and basically they are going to go like so on the bottom obviously once he's he all comes together it's gonna make a lot more sense but that's that and then he's got his little kind of wings so this is from the two by three piece so again just rub that bit out there along the long side here so this long side here you're just gonna cut in how far in did I go so it's kind of like say half an inch up from each end there and just kind of come around and just cut it and then you want to do like a I don't even know what this kind of pattern is but you can kind of see what I'm doing like so and you will have these two wings all right now mine are considerably different to the other so I'm gonna trace around that one again in a minute and I'm gonna trace around my foot again in a minute which is what you will do because I want to make sure that mine are both the same but that is basically what you do to get those pieces and then obviously we've got our beak there as well okay so just traced over and cut mine out so that's what you should have now is these kind of two little wings two feet and his beak and I'll see the tail there and then also I've die cut a circle here which measures this piece is roughly three and three eighths of an inch I keep going out for you there yeah about three and three eighths diameter and then you just want to cut it in half it's basically gonna be like his belly so it's gonna go at the bottom here so you just want to cut it in half all kind of I mean you could have it if you want it quite high so I'm probably gonna cut mine straight across like so and that's gonna sit along the bottom and then you imagine it's little feet are gonna be like this like so okay so that's kind of look that we're going for okay let's do oh and the hair totally forgot about his hair let me just grab a piece of this thing for these I've used these before when I make my tassels and these are for the kitchen but they are these kind of shredding scissors so you can cut those vegetables and stuff and but they're great in the graph room because you can shred a paper so all I'm gonna do is I don't need loads but just line it up they're very very sharp so do be careful and just cut like so go along to the next one and try and get close up as I can like so then I'm gonna cut it not right obviously I don't want to cut them off so they will fall apart so I'm just gonna cut it out like so then with your bone folder curl all the bits just break one off that's okay because I'm gonna roll it together anyway like so then I'm gonna put it in half so they all kind of all like you know mesh into each other get a little bit of my glue fold that in half like so and then we can attach that in a minute and it's basically just gonna go up at the back and it's like there's a little toughy bit on the top of the chicks or the whatever again it's just having fun with it so kind of make up bits if you if you want do what you want right let's add the belly so get this stuck down first this one is gonna go like just make sure you get it obviously nice and centered and then again the little feet and have it slightly off at an angle I think so you can see already how fun it's gonna look okay we'll do the wings in a bit and then if you just pinch in the sides like so okay and then this bit will come down over like so alright and then we want to put his little beak is gonna go down quite near the bottom okay like so so what I'm gonna do is put run a little bit of my glue just on that folded part we want it to be slightly raised so again just fold that down and I'm gonna just make sure it's nice and even can you see starting to come together cute little chick these go down so well with the kids they absolutely adore these so again that's that one there then the little wings so I'm gonna have one and I have it I'd say have the bottom of the wing in line with the bottom of his beak I think that gives you kind of a nice balanced look again play around with it it's surprising when you move it how different it looks overall so I'm just gonna hold that one in place then with the eyes I've just got some black card and just with your whole punch just cut out a couple you can use little googly eyes as well use those before and then just tweezers a little bit of glue there again like I said if you put it up there it gives them a really strange look if you go out wide you can kind of see how it's gonna I'm gonna go in so I'm quite cute looking so if you go quite close together give him that really cute little face again how sweet is that then we need to add the hair so this is going to hair but that's gonna go at the top legs oh I absolutely love him he's so so cute yeah just pop that down in the middle and it all looks really nice and neat on the back as well okay so just let that set and then while we're on the back a little tail splodge some glue you can use hot glue if you want this stuff's fine and it's gonna go in the middle just above that score line there okay so I'm just gonna let that all dry first okay and then we now need to add the Velcro so I've just got same Velcro dots that I always use again I'll share all the links pop it just underneath the beak there on the top of the lid bring it down and just apply some pressure on there obviously we can just fold up his beak a little bit there because I don't want that it's got to stay open like so see it's lifted and then all we need to do now is stick down our base so this piece the front piece you want to go down last so I'm just gonna push that up I'm gonna put the back one down first okay so you get a nice closure bring down the last one turn it up on its side open up and just with your ruler you can just push down the base there make sure that glue is all spread out nicely and also just make sure your Velcro is all pushed down as well keep making sure his beak stays open while that glues and just play around like I said you can keep curling the hair over however you want make him look a bit funky there no you go there is one little chick Easter gift box love it now I'm gonna quickly just show you how to decorate your bunny so you've got I'll see one of each there so I would already done this piece so I've already cornered off the edges and everything as well like said this is the leftover piece like you have this leftover piece of yellow but for the bunny you want to create the ears so my ears were yes it one and a half is fine so long I just trim off these two it's here and it's just the same way to do the feet really just kind of freestyle your ears so roughly one and a half wide and I'll do the other one coming out from this side like so and and all I'm gonna do is just kind of go up and then join back down like so I'll cut that one out and then I'll just trace it into that section there so just quickly that one's about and then just put that again line it up where I just done that pencil at the beginning and just trace around so it's just how I done my unicorn bag as well so again I'll share that one if you want to do some some fun little filters just rub out any pencil she's got two ears then I've got some scrap pink all the other little bits here that show you in a second scrap pinky color so the base the bottom there is one and a half so with the ears I'm gonna do them at one so again I'm gonna just trim this down a bit because this is a really scrappy just kind of straight off that edge of it but there we go so again just marking this time one inch and I'll mark one inch again now do them together this time and exactly the same so I'm just gonna come along and down and I'm gonna trace it oh no I'll just draw this one again freehand like so okay and then again just cut these two out so now they're gonna sit inside our ears like so so just grab some that's our ears done then for the feet this is when I used my two inch punch and I just punched two white circles so there's one and there's the other one then with this one inch one I punched in pink another die to go in the middle like so and then with the same pink I then used my whole punch and just punched four or it'd be eight of these little I've got a stray one somewhere probably dropped it I'll find that one in a minute and basically you're just gonna stick them like I have on this one so bring this one inch one slightly down so it's you know closer to here and you then stick those four above it you also want to die cut with the same actually they were a bigger one I'm sure you could use yeah that size if you want use the one inch I think that was a one and a half inch punch actually for these ones and then it's one inch for his little cheeks okay maybe I'll use the one inch for something but I think I must have used the circles for these which would have been about one inch one and half inches because in between the little teeth here are half an inch by one inch you want two pieces there so if you just cut a piece of actually no that doesn't look like a square so it was one by one and a quarter so that and then you'll cut them in half to give you and three eighths of an inch by one and a quarter and they will be as little teeth to make the little whiskers here you want a piece of one by two and again just using my scissors I can find them here you just want to cut three that one's maybe a bit thick let's go this end I wasn't happy with that one just three thin whiskers the last one cut straight up and then you will cut out that whole piece you can see there you little whiskers so I've got two of those and then you also want to punch out of black two little circles again to give you your eyes okay so preppled of that also you've got his nose and his tongue so for the nose just find the flat edge of card maybe three eighths of an inch and just do a semi-circle cut again if you've got a very small punch you can do that and then just cut it in half that is isn't the little nose do a little triangle nose if you want I like a nice little curved nose his little nose and again for his tongue it's about a quarter of an inch and again just maybe three eighths of an inch long I'll put all these measurements down in my blog so don't worry you just want to round it off like so okay so I'm gonna get the case now something assembling it also the box is just how I did the yellow for the chick fold over the top and then you're gonna put your ears on the back here first of all so you just want to run a little bit of glue just along the bottom and again slightly on an angle stick that one down and then again the other one just slightly on an angle we'll curl them in a minute just to give them a bit more character like so just kind of let that sit there and dry for a minute then we'll add the feet so again some glue and then put them on an angle the little toes on that side are going off to the left and this one they're going off to the right we should just be touching in the middle so then what you want to do is get the teeth first of all do this separate so put a little bit of glue just on the top right hand corner there of one of the teeth and then just overlap the top of it on that so you're giving a little gap I just bring this up so you can see just like so so just stick this one over the top so you've got a little gap here at the bottom again just little details like that just give it a little bit more character and then the two cheeks are going to sit over the top of your teeth now the further down you go the more cuter it looks the higher up he looks quite more comical so I'm just going to put a little bit of glue just in the corner there and stick that one down it's easy to do this not on there because if you make any mistakes you're not ruining your box and just overlap the cheeks a little bit okay now why it's still a bit wet slide under your tongue until you're happy where it is because then you know it's all in position so I'm going quite high up with the tongue so a little bit of it sitting down sitting down poking out the end even if I just bring that up you can see what I've done there's the tongue is just slid up in between them and they overlapped a little bit okay then the nose is going to go above that and kind of cover the top part of the little cheeky bits just a little bit of glue I mean everyone will look different like already he's looking different to the one that I've done he still looks really cute now this is going to go here and it's going to go quite near the bottom I've got about one eighth of an inch showing there okay so just put some more glue on all of this make sure the teeth that are in between the feet so you know you're getting it all nicely centred like so I'm going to put a little dollop of glue in the middle of each cheek this all dries clear this glue anyway and stick one down like so and then try and get them sitting okay once that's dry we'll spread them out a little bit and then with your two eyes what I'll do actually before that just so it's easy is get my other velcro dot again just put it under the lid just below the teeth bring that down and just squash it and then with the eyes again a bit of glue on my hand and again closer down and you know the more like compact it all is the cuter it looks and then just spread out these again you can trim the whiskers down if you want I'm quite happy with how they look turn him over yes what a bit of glue and the tail if you haven't got any of these pom poms you could just die cut a white circle and then a smaller pink circle on top of each other and again that would look cute as well you could also heat emboss a gold circle and that would look quite special and then just with his ears because now they're nice and set I always have one you always have one I wrap it with one floppy ear so this one's gonna kind of bend right down so I'm just rolling it between my finger in my ear and then the other one just curve it slightly like so and tell it's just come off because I didn't let it sit so I'm just gonna sit they have it dry adorable are they love them little tails and then my gorgeous super little funky chick I absolutely love him as well so they have it that is his towel I'm still not giving it time to set he needs to sit I'm gonna rest it down like so there we go so they have it I hope you've enjoyed the last tutorial I hope you've enjoyed the whole of this Easter series I've thoroughly enjoyed making it and my baskets look so cool
