• Markers
• Pencil — and eraser
• Ruler — 8–12 in
• Scissors — small
• Glue stick — or PVA glue
• Glass — phone stand

Steps

Trace

1. Head and body: outlines. On the left is a strip of three squares, on the right the body with tabs. Put dots in all the corners through the screen, then connect them with a ruler.
2. Head and body: folds. The lines between squares and at the tabs are dashed: don't cut along them. Number the body tabs 1–5.
3. Top and mallet: outlines. Three squares in a row with tabs on the top and bottom, ears above the middle one; the mallet is below. Again, dots in the corners, then straight lines with the ruler.
4. Top and mallet: folds. Between the squares and at the tabs, use a dashed line; under the ears, a dash-dot line: they fold toward you. Tab numbers: 1, 2, 3 on the bottom, 4 and 5 on top.
5. Face: outline. Trace the solid line — the edge of the sticker. You will cut along it.
6. Face: drawing. Trace the wavy bangs, the side strands, big eyes with highlights and lashes, the smile, and the little star hairpin.

Color

7. Light blue. Color the areas that match this color. Move the marker in one direction — you’ll get fewer streaks.
8. Blue. Now the areas that match this color.
9. Yellow. Now the areas that match this color.
10. Pink. Now the areas that match this color.
11. Color: face. Hair — light blue; eyes — blue; pupils — black; cheeks — pink; star — yellow. Don’t color the highlights; face — skin tone, or leave it white.

Cut

12. Cut out: head and body — 2 pcs. Cut out both pieces. Cut the body together with the tabs: at the corners by the tabs, bring the scissors in from both sides.
13. Cut out: top and mallet — 2 pcs. Cut out all the pieces together with the tabs. Between the ears and the tabs, cut from both sides.
14. Cut out: face. Cut with scissors along the solid line. Turn the sheet, not the scissors — the cut will come out neater.
15. Color the back. Flip the head top and the mallet face down. On the back, color the ears light blue — all of them, inner parts included — and the mallet yellow: they show from behind. Don’t color the squares or the tabs.

Head

16. Fold all the lines. Hold the ruler against each dashed line and fold along it away from you, color side out — tabs too. Fold the ears toward you. Then unfold slightly.
17. Glue on the face. Apply glue to the top square of the strip — only that one — and place the face on it: the light blue border shows about 1/16 in wide at the top and sides, and the bottom of the face sits on the fold line. The strands hang lower; don’t glue them.
18. Face to the top. Bend the top into an arch: sides down, tabs 1, 2, and 3 inward. Apply glue to them and press the square with the face onto them: the tabs end up inside, under it. Press each tab with a finger from the inside — through the open back of the head.
19. Back of the head and ears. Tuck the bottom under the head and lift up the back of the head. Apply glue to tabs 4 and 5 and press the back of the head onto them from the outside. Stand the ears upright: the bent ear points right.

Assemble

20. Body as a tube. Roll the four walls into a tube, color side out. Apply glue to tab 1 and stick it to the inside of the front wall's edge.
21. Head onto the body. Fold tabs 2–5 at the top of the body inward and apply glue. Set the head on them in the center, with the face toward the front wall of the body.
22. Mallet. Apply glue to the handle and glue the mallet across the dress, below the belt: the mallet head sticks out on the left.

Done. Moon Bunny is done. Let the glue dry for 10 minutes, then it can go on the shelf.
