Easter Bunny Basket made from 8th Continent Soymilk Carton

So we have been brainstorming on how to celebrate Earth Day and the upcoming Easter in one craft and we are pretty sure we hit the nail right on the head! Check out this Bunny Easter Basket made out of an 8th Continent Soymilk Carton!

Materials:

  • Empty 8th Continent Soymilk Carton
  • Construction Paper
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Scissors/Craft Knife
  • 2 buttons
  • Hole punch
  • Glue stick
  • Stapler
  • White pom-pom (optional)


Directions:

First make sure to rinse out your carton fully and let dry.

Using the craft knife or scissors, cut out the spout from the 8th Continent Carton and toss it away. Don’t worry if your hole doesn’t look pristine- this part will be covered by construction paper.

Next, cut out one side of the carton and save this panel to use later as the handle.

Taking your construction paper, cut it to the appropriate width of the remaining sides of the carton and adhere with your glue stick. If you are using an 8.5”x11” piece of paper, you can get both sides covered and glue the back flaps over each other.

Next cut your bunny ears from another sheet of construction paper and cut out almond shaped white pieces to glue in the middle of each bunny ear. If your construction paper is a bit flimsy (like mine was), glue two pieces of the pink construction paper together before cutting the outlines of your ears so they will stay erect once you attached them to the body of your bunny basket.

Once you have completed the ears, glue the base to the inside of the gap between the body of the carton and the top.

Now you can punch a hole through the crest of the carton to insert the pipe cleaners to serve as whiskers.


Take your two buttons and glue them to either sides of the crest of the carton to serve as the bunny’s eyes.

Remember the side panel you cut out and set aside? Trim it down till it is about ¾ inches in width and staple the ends of it to either side of the basket.

If you decided to add a White pom-pom cottontail to your bunny, glue that on the end of the carton.

Now fill your Easter Bunny Basket with grass, (you can also shred magazines to serve as the grass), and add some sweets for the lucky person who will be receiving this adorable basket!

Cupid’s 8th Continent 12 Days of Valentines- Day 5

So we have figured out by now that either you or your loved one drinks 8th Continent Soymilk. First let me say, good call!

Secondly I want you to ask yourself- why? Is it because it tastes SO awesome? Or because of lactose intolerance? Or maybe you are a vegan or have dairy allergies or want to keep a gluten-free diet! Sometimes it is difficult to prepare a meal or sometimes even harder- a dessert- when keeping all of these things in mind.

But don’t you worry! For Valentine’s Day my friend Annette Ooyevaar over at Veg Web hooked us up with an awesome and simple recipe that is vegan and delicious!

Ingredients:

1 box 12 oz. Mori Nu Soft Silken Tofu, do not use low fat, do not drain
1 12 oz. bag vegan chocolate chips, melted on low heat and cooled
1-2 Tblsp. Vanilla – you can use whatever flavor you like
1 cup 8th Continent  Soymilk

Directions:

Put the tofu in a blender and process until very smooth.  Add the melted, cooled chocolate and process until well combined, you will have to stop and scrape the sides of the blender.  Add the 8th Continent Soymilk and vanilla and process until well blended. Pour into a covered container and chill until ready to use.

Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer directions.  This makes a lot of tofu ice cream mix so you may only be able to freeze part of it.  I use my Donvier, which is really easy, I have ice cream in 15 minutes without ice, salt or a lot of cranking.  My family loves this recipe and it can even be made with melted high quality white chocolate.  Enjoy!

Serves: 8

Preparation time: 15 minutes
