Layered Rabbit SVG For Chinese New Year ⋆ Extraordinary Chaos

2023 see’s the arrival of the year of the Rabbit. On 22nd January we say goodbye to year of the Tiger and hello to the 4th Animal in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. And in celebration we have created a super adorable Layered Rabbit SVG For Chinese New Year, which can also be used as a Rabbit mask. Also see our Chinese New Year Mickey.

Chinese New Year is celebrated world wide and starts on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. This 15-day festival that is celebrated every year and also celebrates the rotation of a new animal being in the lunar spotlight.

The Chinese calendar is a complex calendar with which rotates in 60 year cycle. This based on 12 earthly branches. Each of those is represented by an animal year, and also the five heavenly stems which are earth, wood, fire, water and metal.

Cutting Your Rabbit SVG file SVG On Cricut

When you send your Rabbit SVG/PNG files to your Cricut to cut, ensure you use your brayer to roll the paper, vinyl or card to adhere to the mat. Note that movement will affect the cut.

Use The remnants From The Gold Layer To Make A Bunny Mask

I discovered totally by accident that if you save what’s left over from your gold layer you can make a super cute bunny mask for Chinese New Year Celebrations and Decorations.

All you need to do is pop a hole in each side of your bunny a thread with string or ribbon. Please don’t leave children unattended with them but if used supervised they are great fun. And if you want to make multiple bunny masks just cut out layer 1 of the files multiple times.

How To Build Your Rabbit SVG Layered File

Firstly start by making sure they all line up and every Rabbit layer is the correct way round, then flip all of the layers over.

Next, turn the back pink layer over, then apply glue to the back of the pink glitter layer and flip and attach to the top of the back pink layer. Repeat this with the top gold glitter layer they add the eyes, ears and nose.
