Easter Bunny Wall Art ?
So to get in the Easter mood I decided to show you guys how to DIY this cute bunny wall art. To start of I will tell you the equipment you will need...
- Canvas any size
- White acrylic paint
- Blue acrylic paint
- Piece of paper
- Blue tack
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paint brush
- White wool
- Hot glue
So first off with your pencil take a piece of paper and draw a template of a bunny. Then cut it out with scissors. Using blue tack stick the bunny template on your canvas in the middle. I mixed white and blue acrylic paint to get the light blue shade I wanted. Once I got my shade i painted the whole canvas. If you want you can obviously change the color and you can also do 2 coats of it but I did 1.
Then once It is dry, carefully take the template (piece of paper) off. Now using white paint if you have some messy edges just use white paint to go over it so you wouldn't be able to notice it. Since I used thin coats it took me about 5-6 coats until I was happy with it. Though when I was painting the edges before I painted another coat i let it dry 100%. If you don't let it dry it will turn all clumpy and turn out messy.
Once I was done with that I left my painting to dry and I moved on to doing the pom-pom tail. So firstly take the wool and hold it on your 3 finger or 2 (if you use 3 its big if you use 2 its a small pom-pom and if you use 1 finger its an even smaller pom-pom). Then start wrapping the wool around those 3 or 2 fingers (and I like to wrap it around 50-100 times, it pretty much depends how full you want it). If you wrap it 100 times its very full and nice and big but if 50 its still full but not as the 100 one. After you have wrapped it around your fingers carefully take it off of your fingers and put it on a desk. Cut off the end. Then cut off a small piece of wool and with it, tie the wrapped wool very tight. Once you tied it on each side there is a hole from all that wrapped wool. So take scissors and put your scissors through the wholes on one full side and cut it and then do the same to the other side. Now you end up with a messy looking pom-pom. So now take your scissors and start cutting any place you want until you are happy it is a perfect sphere shape. So pretty much just use your eyes and look at what side needs to be cut more so it is perfectly round. And once you are happy you are done with the pom-pom.
After the painting is 100% dry, take the pom-pom and glue it on with hot glue in the center of the bunny's bum ? Once the hot glue is dry, you are done! Now you can hang your amazing masterpiece on your wall.
Hope this got you guys in the Easter spirit. And I hope you liked this. I would really appreciate it, if you send me a picture of your recreations in the comments bellow. I would love to see how yours turned out!
