Download Template & scale to needed size (provided template is about 8.5" from ear to foot).

Hint: If making many bunnies I suggest creating a quick trace template out of cardboard or plastic.

Transfer template to material being used.

Step 4: Cut Out Bunny

Cut out bunny, being careful if using metal not to leave sharp edges, or file edges after bunny is cut out. If intended for  children I suggest using heavy paper or paper board for your base material.

Step 5: Make First Arm Bend

Make first 90 degree bend about 3/4" to 1" from end of each arm.

Step 6: Make Second Arm Bend

Make second arm bend about 1/4" to 1/2" from end of each arm. Creating an upside down "U" shape to hang bunny from end of each arm.

Step 7: Add Accents

Add accents to bunny if desired using paint, paint pens, markers or other appropriate decorating media.

Step 8: Hang & Enjoy

Find a basket, flower pot, wreath, or other good spot to hang your bunny & enjoy!
