Instructions

Prepare the Bunny Base

1. Print and cut out the bunny pattern from the provided template.
2. Use the pattern to cut the bunny shape out of styrofoam using a craft knife. If the design is small, avoid using a hot knife and stick to a standard craft knife.

Paint the Bunny Body

1. Paint both the back and sides of your bunny cutout to create an even finish. Then, paint the front with white acrylic paint.
   • Pro Tip: Dip your paintbrush in water to ensure smooth coverage.
2. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle glitter lightly over the surface for added sparkle.

Add Shading to the Bunny’s Features

1. Use pink paint and a dry brush to softly shade the bunny’s ears, cheeks, and lower face.
   • Dip the brush in pink paint, then wipe off excess paint for a subtle effect.
   • This step is particularly useful for making the bunny look more realistic.

Create and Attach the Glasses

1. Use a stencil (traced on projector film or adhesive foam sheets) to create glasses.
2. Use a craft knife to carefully cut out the glasses shape.
   • Pro Tip: Cutting the inner sections of the glasses can be tricky, so feel free to simplify the design to make it easier.
3. Place a tiny rhinestone at the sides of the glasses to hide imperfections, if any, and add a decorative touch.

Place the Headband

1. Use green adhesive foam (or any desired color) to create a small headband for the bunny.
2. Attach the headband first, ensuring that it aligns with the glasses for a tidy appearance.

Add Eyes and Facial Details

1. For the eyes, use any of the following options:
   • Slick dimensional fabric paint (black) to draw the eyes.
   • Wiggly eyes (if available).
2. Add small eyelashes using slick paint for flair.
3. Add a heart-shaped nose using neon pink dimensional fabric paint.
4. Use white fabric paint to carefully outline the ears or add small hearts to the cheeks for additional charm.

Prepare the Stick

1. Attach a straw or stick to the back of the bunny to allow it to function as a pick.
   • Ensure the glue has dried before moving it to prevent smudging your design.

Final Decorations

1. Add a cute bow around the bunny’s neck or head using ribbon (pink, yellow, or green work well).
2. Consider gluing puff flowers, small vase fillers, or rhinestones to embellish the bunny further.
3. If desired, add tool (decorative net fabric) for extra texture and flair.

Optional Step: Create a Partner Bunny (Boy Bunny with Glasses)

• Follow the same steps to create a matching boy bunny, adding personalized details like a bow tie instead of a headband.

Final Touch

1. Place the completed Easter Bunny pick onto:
   • A basket
   • A centerpiece
   • Or give it to your kids or grandkids as a festive handout!

Tips and Reminders

• Don’t worry about small imperfections—they can be hidden with glitter, stickers, or other decorations.
• Play around with colors and accessories to make the bunny unique to your tastes.
