🐰 What You Need (That’s It!)
The beauty of this hack is how simple it is:

Your gift
That’s it! No tape, no stress, no mess.
My step by step bunny ear wrap tutorial
🎀 How to Make Bunny Ears Gift Wrap in 5 Minutes
Place your gift in the center of a sheet of tissue paper
Make sure you have enough paper on all sides to gather at the top.Bring the tissue paper up and around the gift
Fold it about half way up, over your gift like you’re making a little pouch.Fluff and shape the top into two “ears”
Fold the right side of the tissue paper up towards the gift at a diagonal, then fold it diagonally again to form one ear and then repeat on the other side.Tie it off with ribbon
This creates the “ears” of your bunny. Fold the back side of the tissue paper down a bit to make the ears more prominent.Adjust and fluff
Make the ears full, cute, and playful as you like!
Adjust the size of the tissue paper as needed for different sized gifts.
Done in minutes—and it looks like you spent way more time on it. I used white tissue paper for a white bunny, but you can do brown, prints or whatever colors you want…bunny ear wrapped gifts can be colorful!
Gift them to family and friends!
