MATERIAL
Newspaper
Metylan normal wallpaper paste
plywood board ca. 40 x 30 cm
2 wood dowels
Ponal wood glue
chicken wire
stapler
black and white deco paint
brush
INSTRUCTIONS
Saw two egg-shaped frames out of the plywood board (width ca. 20 cm, length ca. 30 cm), put them on top of each other and drill holes of the size of the wood dowels in the ends. To close afterwards, glue the dowels in one of the frames using Ponal wood glue.
Then staple chicken wire measuring ca. 25 x 35 cm to the outer edge of the bottom frame. When doing so, form a bowl out of the chicken wire. Do the same for the upper part. The size of the chicken wire should be ca. 30 x 40 cm.
Then form the bunny. Bend the ears out of two ca. 12 x 4 cm large wire pieces and fix them to the body.
Then tear the newspaper into pieces of about 5 x 5 cm. Prepare the Metylan normal wallpaper paste according to the manufacturer’s instructions for strong wallpapers. Then glue the paper pieces to both sides of the bunny. To make your bunny really strong and attractive glue several layers of paper to the inside and outside of the bunny. Also glue some layers over the frame. While both halves are wet, you may correct the shape, especially the ears. Once you have the shape right allow your bunny to dry.
It can now be painted using white and black deco paint.
Finally, draw its mouth and eyes on with a black touch-up pen.
Fill the bunny with Easter grass and sweets. Your Easter Bunny is now ready to set off on his journey.
