Tutorial to make a decorative wooden bunny for parties 29/08/2022

We are going to make a sweet wooden bunny.

It's a beautiful detail to decorate the dessert tables or the guests’ tables at a Baby Shower or for the first years of your baby.

Materials

• Pinewood of 100 cm x 20 cm and 1.5 cm in width
• Saw to cut
• Sandpaper
• Acrylic paint: white, brown, ocher and red
• Paint brushes
• Variety of flowers for decoration

As a first step, download the bunny’s silhouette. If you have the pinewood in the standard measurements as found in the stores (100 cm x 20 cm x 1.5 cm) you will obtain 4 bunnies placing them in this way or adjust the pattern to the dimensions you prefer. There are two models of bunnies for you to choose.

Make the cuts with the saw, sand on both sides and the bunny’s contour using an emery or sandpaper.

Protect your working table with paper. Put a first coat of white paint and let dry. Draw the bunny’s silhouette with a pencil and put a second coat of white paint, the pencil drawing will become lighter.

Use acrylic paint, white as a base to dim the red color for the cheeks, ears and some parts of the body. Do the same with the ochre and brown tones, distribute the paint starting with lighter tones and apply contrast with the darker tones, this will give prominence and depth to the paint. The points of light are very important, these are obtained by leaving areas in white. With a very thin paintbrush outline the eye.

With a wire or a ribbon, tie some flowers to the ears creating a beautiful composition.

We have two models for you. This is the one I have used, a more realistic bunny.

And this model that is sweeter.
