Click here to see where I got the idea from.
I wasn't crazy about cutting out my own stencil, so I kept looking for a bunny stamp or stencil to use. I found this bunny stencil at Hobby Lobby and it worked great! The runner, paint and yarn came from Michael's. The runner I bought was about twice as long as I needed it to be, so I cut it and applied Fray Check to the cut end.
Like the original directions say, make sure you put paper bags under the areas that you are stenciling. I also had to use quite a bit of Elmer's glue to glue the tails on. I tried other adhesive, but this worked best. For the tails, I wrapped the yarn around a meat fork as a dinner fork was too small. After wrapping the yarn around about 60 times, you cut another piece of yarn to tie the opposite way, to make the puffs. I tied this piece twice, to ensure it was tight. The first two tails I made were a disaster - they came apart when I started cutting the loops. But, after moving up to the bigger fork and doing a double tie at the end, it worked well. I also changed scissors and used a pair with a fine point. After several hours, I removed the bags and put waxed paper under each bunny, and let them dry over night.
This is my Easter craft for the year. I have about 5 desserts I want to make, so I need to figure out which ones to make this week. Either that or my small group will be eating Easter themed desserts for the next month!
