Here comes Peter Cottontail...

Supplies needed:

  • -old fashioned clothespins. I used Woodsies brand No-Roll Clothespins.
  • - paint in different pastel colors or primary colors that can be mixed to make pastel colors  (light purple, light yellow, light pink, etc.).
  • -googly eyes
  • -small embellishments for the ears: sequins, flowers, loose glitter, etc. Note: I probably wouldn't use the flowers I chose for this craft. However, I'm trying to use up the craft items I already have on hand. The flowers used for our clothespin Easter bunnies are a bit too large and were difficult to adhere and stay. Smaller flowers would work better or use stickers or small sequins.
  • -small pom poms for the bunny tails (white or light pink)
  • -very small pom poms for the noses (can substitute black sesame seeds, [black] glass seed beads or similar)
  • -(optional) black paper scraps to make bow ties or ties for the boy bunnies
  • -clear glue
  • -paintbrush
  • -fine tip black marker for the nose, mouth and whiskers

...hoppin' down the bunny trail...



























...hippity-hoppity Easter's on its way!
