Make your own<br />
Easter Bunny Plaque<br />
Have a hoppy easter<br />
with this easy craft<br />
activity that will add<br />
some springtime<br />
charm to your home.<br />
You will need<br />
Grey board<br />
Patterned paper<br />
Pearlised white card<br />
PVA glue<br />
Palette knife or brush<br />
Flower punch or die & hole punch<br />
Ink or chalks<br />
Wire & pliers<br />
Scissors<br />
Alphabet wooden beads<br />
Stick-on pearls<br />
Marker pen<br />
Method<br />
Draw a rabbit shape freehand<br />
or using a template (I used one<br />
found online). Cut out and trace<br />
onto grey board and patterned<br />
paper. Using your palette knife<br />
or brush spread PVA onto grey<br />
board and place patterned paper<br />
on top, smoothing gently from<br />
centre outwards paying particular<br />
attention to the edges. Leave to<br />
dry.<br />
Punch out several flowers and<br />
colour using inks or coloured<br />
chalk and leave to dry.<br />
Measure a length of wire long<br />
enough to spell out ‘Spring’ or<br />
your own message in wooden<br />
beads plus 2cm extra. Place<br />
against the bottom of your rabbit<br />
to measure where the holes need<br />
to be. Bend the wire through the<br />
holes at each side making sure<br />
your words hang correctly. Use<br />
your pliers to secure the wire at<br />
the back.<br />
Cut a second piece of wire<br />
20cm bend in half, punch a hole<br />
in each ear and thread through<br />
and secure to make a hanging<br />
hook.<br />
Glue your flowers to your<br />
rabbit and add a stick-on pearl<br />
in each centre. Add a bow and<br />
finish by drawing two eyes with<br />
your marker pen and a face if<br />
you wish.<br />
Your Easter bunny plaque is<br />
now complete.<br />
