I saw this clothespin bunny just on time , I am trying my hand at putting on seniors luncheons, and the love home made decorations, I just finished a valentine tea for them and gave heartshape felt mice pins to each one . now on to Easter ideas, like this you you have posted. Thank you for the idea
Hi Beatrice, We hope the bunnies are a hit at your luncheon. Be sure to send us photos of how they turn out at editors@countrywomanmagazine.com.
To add more ideas to the cute bunnies, you could drill a hole through the ears and thread a pretty pastel ribbon through them to make a cute necklace.
Or glue a backpin on each bunny to turn them into an Easter brooch.
these would make cute refrigerator magnets. Just glue a magnet on the back.
