What You Will Need

  • Scrap 2×4 pieces
  • Testors Craft Paint White, Petal Pink, and Glitter Burst Cotton Candy colors
  • Paintbrush
  • Sponge pouncer brush
  • Pink pompoms
  • Silver wire
  • Dowel or pencil
  • Felt white and pink
  • Ribbon
  • Buttons white and black
  • Large pipe cleaners pink
  • Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions

  • Use the white paint to paint the wood blocks. You will likely need two coats of paint. Make sure to allow the paint to thoroughly dry in between coats.
  • Place the pompoms and buttons on the blocks to plan the placement of the cheeks. Use the pouncer brush to paint pink cheeks.
  • Add a little pink glitter burst paint on the cheeks while they're still wet. Dab them with the sponge brush while they're wet. Then allow them to dry.
  • Cut ear shapes out of the white and pink felt. Layer the smaller pink ear pieces on top of the white ear pieces and attach them with hot glue.
  • Cut the silver wire into 3.5 to 4-inch pieces (4 pieces per bunny). Wrap each one around a dowel or pencil to create curls.
  • Trim the bottom of the bunny ears at an angle and hot glue them to the block of wood.
  • Tie the ribbon into a bow and also use hot glue to secure it into place in front of the ears.
  • Make the bunny face. Put a dab of glue into the middle and add the ends of the wire pieces to make whiskers (2 wires on each side).
    Add the pink pompom on top of the glue to secure everything in place.
    Glue a smaller button on top of the larger button. Then glue the "eyes" to your bunny's face.
  • Curl the pink pipe cleaner into a circle and glue it to the back of the block for the bunny tail.
