Tampon Easter Bunny
What’s fluffy and white and cottony soft? Tampons! And bunnies! That’s why
this tampon Easter Bunny was such a natural. If he sticks around for your
period, he’ll bring you some unfertilized eggs.
Materials
- Playtex tampon with pink plastic applicator
- Two Tampax tampons
- Hot glue gun
- Utility knife or scissors
- Wiggly eyes
- Pipe cleaners
Instructions
Remove Playtex tampon from applicator. Moisten slightly to
expand and let dry. Save pink plastic applicator. Remove Tampax tampons from
applicators. Hold tampon, pinching at each end, and pull to expand. Widen in the
middle to create an “ear” shape. The string side should be on the back, while
the “furrow” side should be on the front. Trim strings off bottom and top if
necessary.
To make the inside of the ears, take the plastic applicator from
the Playtex tampon and use scissors or a utility knife to slice it into vertical
strips. The tip of each strip should be one of the applicator “petals”; continue
cutting till you reach the ridged base of the tube, then cut across. Round off
the square bottom of each strip.
Fill the length of each rabbit ear tampon with hot glue and press a plastic
applicator strip into place, with the pointed end up and the curved part
pointing out.
Remove string from Playtex tampon and set it aside. Set the tampon “point”
up. Use a generous amount of hot glue to attach ears, placing them inside the
“creases” or folds of the tampon.
Cut off the tip of one of the remaining pink plastic applicator “petals.”
This triangular piece will be the nose. Hot glue it to the tip of the Playtex
tampon.
Hot glue the eyes in place.
Cut the pipe cleaners into four two-inch pieces and hot glue into place on
either side of the nose. If you wish to hang the bunny as an ornament, hot
glue the reserved string onto the back.
