The first thing to do before starting to build the bunny trap is to research different designs how to build a bunny trap. You also have to make a sketch of your design and how it is gonna work before starting to build so that you can make some changes before building it.

Supplies

You gather your materials Colored paper, a box, scissors, tape, glue, rubber bands, clothespins, a box cutter, cardboard.

Step 1: Cut Out Trap Door

Tape the box on the bottom so it won't open but leave the top open so you can work on the inside of it. You have to cut out a door in the middle of either side of the box but it has to be able to open and close. Then you have to cut a hole in the bottom of the opposite wall of the door not big but big enough for a rubber band to fit through.

Step 2: Glue a Clothespin

Grab your clothespin and glue it in the middle of the box and let it sit for a couple of minutes so the clothespin glues to the box. Then glue another clothespin to the middle of the door but on the outside of the door

Step 3: Setting Up the Trap

You tie two rubber band and make a hole in the back of the box opposite of the door but in the middle and run the rubber band threw the hole and at the end of it but a popsicle stick and tie the band around a couple of times and pull it from the inside so it will be tight and on the other end run it through a hole you make on the door so you can tie it to the clothes pin Then tie six rubber bands and on one end tie a popsicle stick a couple of times and run it through the hole on the bottom of the wall on the opposite side of the door and put the popsicle inside the clothes pin so it grabs it. On the other side of the rubber bands tie another popsicle stick and then run it on the bottom of the box till it gets to the door open the clothes pin and put it inside the clothes so it grabs it also

Step 4:

For this step, you glue the cups on the bottom box so it can be elevated and be higher so the door can be an inclined plane. glue a piece of cardboard on the clothespin on the inside and bend it on the end so It can create an inclined plane
