Dollar Store Bunny Instructions
I purchased a few garden kneeling pads from my local Dollar Store.
1. Make a Bunny Template
I used a recycled Paperback and drew half of a bunny design on it. You could alternatively use a blank piece of paper or recycled paper.
I folded the paper bag in half and cut out the bunny shape. I folded the paper in half so that each side would be the same. Similar to when you fold a piece of paper out and cut a heart shape out.
I unfolded the paper bag and my template is ready to create my DIY bunny.
2. Trace the bunny on the pad
I placed my template onto the garden pad. You can tape the template onto the pad to help hold it into place.
I traced around the template onto the foam garden pad with a sharpie marker. You could also use a dry erase marker, pen, pencil, etc.
3. Cut out the bunny
I placed my foam garden pad onto a cookie sheet to protect my tabletop. I used a serrated knife that I purchased for crafting to cut out the bunny shape. You could also use scissors, heat knives, or a razor blade if you’d rather.
4. add a face
I hot glued on some buttons for the eyes and nose of my bunny.
5. Add your display method
I made a little loop and knot with some twine and hot glued it onto the back so that I could hang my dollar store bunny. You could alternatively use a skewer in the bottom so that you could place the bunny in a centerpiece on your easter table or stake it into the ground along a walkway, etc.
I cut out a second bunny and for this one, I hot glued on a tail for the back of the bunny instead of the button eyes on the front of the bunny.
Here are the 3 bunnies that I made.
You can have fun with these adorable bunnies by decorating them in different ways:
- Embelish the bunny ears
- Add a bow tie
- Add a little bow between the ears
I hung 2 of the bunnies on my porch.
I hung the other bunny on my front door.
