Last week I promised to show you the bunny I was hoping to work on this week for Easter. Since it turned out to be so darn cute and easy to make (less than an hour), I decided I would post the pattern and write up a little "how to" for you as a little gift from the Easter bunnikin!
So let's get started... and take a peek at what she will look like once she's finished. She is about 8" tall and is a "stand up" bunny that you could put on a windowsill, a table or tucked away in a niche. She's a real cutie!!
Here's what you'll need for supplies
piece of heavy cardboard 8-1/2" x 11"
Modge Podge or other white glue
Brown ink pad and a piece of polyester batting
about a yard of 1" pink wire edged ribbon
a cluster of small silk roses
something "fluffy" for her tail - I can never remember the name of that furry, fluffy stuff :)
box cutter
scissors
bunny pattern
white paint or piece of decorative paper
Cover one side of your cardboard with decorative paper. Alternatively, you could also paint it white.
Here's the bunny pattern. Just click on the link to download it to your computer. Print it out, glue it to the other side of your cardboard and then cut it out. Using the box cutter to lightly go round the bunny will make it easier to cut out with the scissors.
Make a stand for the back of your bunny from the leftover cardboard and glue it to the back.
Tie the ribbon round her neck. In the knot (before you make the bow), place the cluster of roses, knot it and then tie a bow. That's it! You're done. Stand back and admire your cute bunny!
Hoppy Easter... may the Easter bunny bring you lots of chocolate!!
Cheers,
Sharon
