easter spools

I’m a big fan of whimsical, colorful decor.  Easter is such a fun holiday to craft for because there are so many creative ways to make chicks, bunnies, and other spring critters.  For this project I used cute craft wood spools to make itty bitty bunnies.

Step three:  Use twine to make whiskers.  Set three pieces of twine side by side, and tie with a fourth piece.  Trim the ends.

Step four:  Use washi tape to make ears.  Fold a piece of washi tape in half, then trim into a bunny ear shape.

Glue all the pieces onto the face as pictured to bring your itty bitty bunny to life.  You could add a chain or cord to make a cute Easter necklace.  These bunnies would make fun photo or place card holders if you add a clip or some wire to the top.  If you’re lucky enough to have larger wooden spools you can use yarn to make big bunnies.  Have fun crafting and creating!
