I just love making Bunnies!
They always make me smile!
You will end up making several for your year round tree or turn them into a garland ! You can even poke a few in your favorite plants!
Which ever way you decide I know you will love them!
Supplies you need:
• Rope choose the thickness you want I actually found this rope at a feed store !
• A piece of lace for your ears .
this lace I used came off the bottom of an old sweater I didn’t wear .....
• Ribbon whichever color you want to use to make a fun bow.
• Scissors
• Red Paint any kind you like you just need a little.
• Black Paint any kind you like again you will only need a little.
• Hot Glue
• Two small Black Buttons for eyes.
You can also use wiggly eyes if you prefer.
This rope I used is pretty stiff.
Take the end of your rope add a little glue and start rolling it.
Be very careful not to burn your fingers with the glue use finger protectors.
Just take your time glue a little then roll .
Make your head as big as you want it !
Ok once your head is done I made mine 4 inches x 4 1/2 .
Now you are going to cut two pieces for your ears from your rope .
I cut mine 12 inches long so when you fold them they will be roughly 6 inch ears but you can make them as long as you want !
I just wanted mine with bigger ears! 😀
Then you will hot glue them down make sure you hold the ends down while the glue cools so they will hold well . Be careful doing this so you don’t get burned.
You can also use the end of a paint brush ,wooden spoon or dowel to do this .
Saves your finger tips !
Now run some glue around your ear and place your lace on it you might want to use a pencil or the end of a wooden spoon or dowel to help you glue the lace down especially since the lace is thin.
Be sure to work a small section at a time.
Once it’s cool cut the extra lace off.
This is what you should have .
So darn cute!
You now need your Red paint . I’m using this one .
Remember you just need a little, forgive my plate the other colors on it are dry !
I haven’t peeled it off yet ! I paint a lot!
Take your brush dip it in the red, then blot some of it off you just want a little bit on your brush.
You can also use face blush if you don’t have paint.
Remove the extra paint on a dry cloth.
You are going to add a little color to the cheeks and the inside of the ears !
Very simple!
I used buttons.
Glue your eyes on .
Use whichever ones you have decided on.
Now get your black for the nose , mouth and whiskers.
I would recommend using a fine liner brush You can get them at any craft or hobby store .Also on Amazon.I’ll drop a link to the ones I am using .
Don’t over think this step just paint your upside down triangle for the nose and then your mouth .and give it some wavy lines for the whiskers!
Have fun remember the rope is bumpy so your lines are not going to be perfect!
But that’s what makes it unique and your own!
Here’s the bow I made .
Get your ribbon cut the length you want then criss cross them and then tie in the middle !
Quick and easy!
How adorable!
Now from here you can decide if you want to stick him in your seasonal tree or use as a bowl filler. The possibilities are endless really!
I glued a skinny dowel on mine to stick in my seasonal tree.
These dowels I used is about 1/4 “ thick.
I just glued it in the back.
You are done and they are now ready to be displayed!
How adorable are these cuties!
I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did !
These bunnies are just so quick and easy to create!
I just love how they look peeking out of the tree!
So quick so easy and so budget friendly!
It’s amazing how you start with scraps of things like rope and lace and end up with something so cute!
