Bunny in a Gunny - Remix

Bunny in a Gunny - Remix

This is my Easter take on the famous Christmas version of something similar, intended to (...ahem...) reside on a shelf, delighting the kiddies as it appears in a new location each morning.

The bunny head is a remix of...

I used his bunny head, sized to 60% of the original size with slots in the base for mounting the support. It prints quite well.

The bags are from Amazon, of course...

The support is an easy print.  It fits into the slots in the bunny's head.  Glue is probably not necessary but is an option if your slots come out a little loose.  The bunny head can/should be installed on the support before putting it in the bag; it's a little easier that way.

The bag requires a little cutting.  The "cuff" at the top is too long.  Cut about 3/16" (~5 mm) from the top of the bag carefully with scissors, being sure to not damage the line of stitches above the drawstrings.  It leaves the top edge a little ragged but it is, after all, a gunny sack.  This is not high fashion.

A slit is needed vertically in the back side of the bag. It should be about 2-1/2" (~ 65 mm) long, beginning about 5/16" (~ 8 mm) from the bottom of the bag. This cut is best made with a hobby knife. I've included a Bag-cutting shield in the files.  Slip the shield into the bag before cutting to prevent cutting through the front side. On the other hand, if you bought 30 bags from Amazon you can probably afford to scrap a few if you don't want to bother printing the shield.

The long leg of the support protrudes through the slit in the back of the bag, allowing the whole thing to stand upright on a shelf.
