Cricut Design Space:
For the following steps, I'll be using Cricut Design Space.
If you use Silhouette Studio or a different design software, your steps may be different than mine.
To start, upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space and add it to your Canvas.
The design measures 3.6 x 2.22 inches and is ideal for standard-sized cupcakes.
Since I'm using mini cupcakes, I'll adjust the design to make the toppers fit better.
Highlight the entire design, and under edit change the width to 1.4 inches, this makes the entire design 1.4 x 2.27 inches.
Click on Make It, and the next screen is your Mat Preview.
You can also adjust how many copies you want to cut on this page. I typed 12 so all my cupcakes could have a cute bunny topper.
The 12 copies are then reflected on the mat previews.
Close the Mats screen, and click Next.
Select Medium Cardstock as the material, and when cutting paper, I always select More under pressure and then Remember Material Settings.
If you don't toggle to Remember Material Settings, you will return to this screen between every mat, and since all mats are the same material, there is no need to do that.
Cut the Design:
Remove the protective sheet from the StandardGrip Mat.
I can see from the image above that our first mat color is black, so I will apply the black cardstock to the mat first.
Align the paper to the mat using a corner to keep everything straight.
Load the black mat into the Cricut and begin the cut.
When the cut is finished, unload the mat.
To remove the cut pieces from the mat, turn the mat over, and roll the mat back to remove the paper pieces.
If any cut pieces stick to the mat, turn the mat facing up, and carefully push the cut pieces off with the spatula tool.
Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space. It will let you know what color of cardstock to load next until all of your mats are cut.
Chalk:
To add more color to the white bunnies, add some pink to the inside of the ears with chalk.
Pick up some pink chalk with a cotton swab and color the inside of the eat with the cotton swab.
If there is any chalk residue after coloring the ears, just blow it off.
The bunny ears are the only place I am adding chalk, but I have added gray chalk around all the pieces before.
This adds just a little bit more definition between layers. That is totally up to you, and it looks cute both ways.
Paper Piecing:
Let's start assembling the pieces! A fine precision tip glue is great for attaching these small pieces together.
Arrange the bunny ears, with one ear just slightly overlapping the other.
Apply a thin line of glue along the bottom of the ears.
Take a large circle and adhere it to the ears.
Draw a straight line of glue about two-thirds down the circle.
Grab two smaller circles and carefully position them side by side, right on top of that line of glue.
Place a dot of glue on the back of the pink nose, and place it between the bunny cheeks.
The black eyes are small, so I used a pair of tweezers to help hold them.
Add glue to the back of the eyes and place them on the bunny face.
To complete the adorable bunny face, I used an Ultra Fine Black Sharpie marker to add a few whisker dots.
Isn't that bunny face so cute!?
Adding the Stick:
Flip the bunny face upside down, then carefully apply a thick line of glue, straight down near the bottom.
Press the top of a toothpick into the glue and let it dry before you move it.
Once the glue securing the toothpick is dry, apply more glue all over the back.
Place a second large circle over the back to secure the toothpick and give the cupcake topper a nice finish.
There is our finished bunny cupcake topper! It's so cute!
Simply stick the toothpick into a mini cupcake and your party is ready to go!!
These fun Easter treats are perfect for Easter, but would also be great for baby showers, or a spring birthday party.
Here are some other Easter cupcakes I made, this time using googley eyes, and outlining each piece with gray chalk.
