I haven’t done paper piecing projects in a long time. However when I first saw the new Permanent Premium GlueTape from Glue Dots, I knew that this type of project is the best way to test this new adhesive. Adding the cute Easter bunny to a card, scrapbook page, or in my case a treat bag makes any project super cute and special.

Here's what you need:
Here's what you do:
Cut the necessary pieces to your Easter bunny image with your die cut machine and cut file. Use various cardstocks if desired.
Lay out the pieces and assemble the image. Ink the edges of the bunny’s body with brown ink for a more dimensional look. Adhere the pieces onto an 8” x 5” piece of cardstock using NEW Permanent Premium GlueTape from Glue Dots and Mini Glue Dots.
Add the eyes and freckles to the bunny using the black marker. You can also add a pen line border around the cardstock piece, using the same black marker. Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the rhinestones onto the bow tie and shirt of the bunny for more whimsical look.
For the bag, take the 11"x17" piece of pattern paper, turn it horizontally and then score at 2 ½”, 3 ½”, 7 ½”, 8 ½”, and 11”. Turn the paper vertically and score 1” off the edge of one side of the paper.
Create a border on the side where you did not place the 1” score line using a scallop border punch. Fold the papers on the score lines creating the paper bag. Use Permanent Premium GlueTape to put together the bag.
Punch two holes on the top of the bag. Thread the twine through it. Punch one hole on the top of the Easter bunny large tag and thread the twine through it.
Place any treats you wish to add inside the bag and tie the twines together into a bow to close it. Repeat the steps for as many bags as you wish to create.
