MATERIALS REQUIRED:

• Wood of your choice. We prefer medite/MDF for easy cut and sand.
• Fast acting adhesive - hot glue gun, expoxy, etc.
• Sandpaper
• Acrylic paints in your choice of country colors.
• Antiquing medium of your choice, if desired.
• Varnish.
• 19 Gauge wire for hangers.
• Fabric bow
• 2 buttons for eyes
• Raffia if desired.

IMPORTANT:

Choose what you want your sign boards to say before beginning!
What you choose will determine where you drill holes for wiring.

One sign goes above the bunny board, one beneath it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. Trace - This will be the board that your bunny head will be attached to.

Trace patterns onto wood,cut out,drill any necessary holes, and sand well.

Paint all pieces in your choice of colors.

Flyspeck the pieces if you like that effect (slightly diluted paint spattered with an old scruffy toothbrush.)

Allow pieces to dry thoroughly.

Sand along all edges very well, and also lightly along all other surfaces to achieve an aged appearance.

Glue bunny head centered on the board.

Varnish entire project and allow sufficient drying time.

Use the antiquing medium to enhance the rustic look, and add another coat of varnish to seal.

Wire smaller sign boards to the bunny head board.

Glue on little black buttons in the center of eye slits.

Glue on a big floppy country bow at the base of the bunny ears.

Either attach a sawtooth hanger to the back, or wire a hanger if you have drilled holes to do so.

Attach raffia bow(s) to wire if desired.
That’s it! A lovely Spring Welcome project that goes just about anywhere!
