Dollar Store Bunny Instructions

I purchased a few garden kneeling pads from my local Dollar Store.

I used a recycled Paperback and drew half of a bunny design on it. You could alternatively use a blank piece of paper or recycled paper.

1. Make a Bunny Template

I used a recycled Paperback and drew half of a bunny design on it. You could alternatively use a blank piece of paper, cardstock, or recycled paper.

I folded the paper bag in half and cut the bunny shape out. I folded the paper in half so that each side would be the same. Similar to when you fold a piece of paper out and cut a heart shape out.

2. Trace the Bunny on the Pad

I placed my template onto the garden pad. The secret to help hold the template in place is to tape the template onto the pad.

I traced around the template onto the foam garden pad with a sharpie marker. You could also use a dry erase marker, pen, pencil, etc.

5. Add your Display Method

I cut a second bunny out and for this one, I hot glued on a tail for the back of the bunny instead of the button eyes on the front of the bunny.
