Hanging Easter Bunny Decorations.

These decorations use a few spare, foam clay, moulded rabbits I had left from last weeks very similar idea (18th March).


..... made using scraps of blue and green patterned paper, 4ins, wooden egg shapes (Temu 32p for £5.84), small wooden fences and tiny butterflies that I've had for ages, punched foliage, tiny resin flowers (£1.16 for 100 from Temu) and nail art, plactic bows.


I started by covering the egg shapes on both sides with the paper ........


........ and then cutting the fences in two to help fit the rabbit and his carrot in between.


The butterflies were duly coloured and doodled on and a small pile of foliage punched .......


........ which were all put together on the front of the egg.


After the butterfly was added, I faux stitched round the edges and along the skyline (
on the front and back), plus a few clusters of three dots here and there, using a black biro (to prevent any bleeding of ink when the whole thing was varnished. I t
hen gave the front and back several coats of clear, glossy, quick drying varnish.


However, when all this was done, the back looked a little plain, so I added a couple more wooden butterflies, a metal Easter plaque backed on blue card, plus more flowers and foliage, so that if they were hung as a decoration on festive twigs etc., they would look good from whatever angle.
