Cookies and buns are easy to decorate after a thermal treatment with glaze, make a drawing with food dyes on stencils or sprinkle with confectionery beads.

Decoration of the Easter egg in the form of a rabbit

Unusually and beautifully look products in the form of Easter eggs, decorated with rabbits. As a basis, the usual chicken egg, wooden or papier-mache mold, is taken. To get such a cute animal, do the following:

1. Take the workpiece, paint it in white. It's good to use acrylic paints.

4. From paper, cardboard or felt, cut out the ears, so that it is also convenient to glue them.
5. Cover with varnish for gloss and water resistance.

If the egg is natural and will be eaten, use only food colors.

Easter rabbits with their own hands made of paper

Cardboard or even an ordinary sheet of Whatman will create original decorations for the interior or greeting cards. For decorating walls, bookshelves, it is easy to make a garland of monochrome or multi-colored rabbits. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Draw yourself or print a ready template (object outline);
2. Cut out the silhouette from the cardboard.
3. Circle it the right number of times on colored paper.
4. Cut out all the elements.
5. If desired, decorate them with a picture, stickers, bows.
6. Connect all the parts together by assembling them on the cord with glue, knots or by attaching pieces of wire threaded through a pair of holes made in the workpiece.

A cute Easter bunny can be made with his own hands in the technique of applique. It is good to use to decorate the front side of a greeting card.

To make such a rabbit, as in the photo above, do the following:

1. Buy colored paper (design, packaging, for scrapbooking).
2. Cut out the elements of the object from it.
3. Glue the parts together.
4. Draw a muzzle.
5. Glue a beautiful bow or other decor.

In addition to paper, for application use shreds, felt, lace. Fantasize and create your own stylish souvenirs.

Origami

This is a popular hobby to date. It deals with both children and adults. Take a beautiful and not very dense colored paper, follow the entire sequence of operations with the sheet, as shown in the diagram.

Dorisuy eyes, glue the bow. The souvenir is ready. When using several different paper samples, you will get lovely Easter bunnies with your own hands. Origami, like any other technique, is sure to interest children.

We sew simple souvenirs

Another simple method - the production of textile accessories and decor. The template is enough to take the simplest, in the form of a rabbit (the same as used for cutting out dough or clay). So do very different things: from the garland element to the cushion pillow.

Even if you are not a craftsman with a lot of experience, but only a beginner needlewoman, you can easily get such, as in the photo above, Easter bunnies with your own hands. The pattern is taken ready, or the pattern is drawn independently of the desired size and shape. Then the sequence of work will be as follows:

1. Place the workpiece on the folded fabric.
2. Pin with pins so that it does not budge.
3. Circle the contour with chalk, taking into account the allowances for seams.
4. Align the two parts with the front side inward.
5. Sweep, and then stitch the seam along the contour, leaving a small hole.
6. In the places of excesses, make cuts along the allowances. Be careful. It is important not to damage the seam. This operation will not allow creases and distortions to form on the front side of the product.
7. Turn the object from the wrong side of the face.
8. Fill the toy with stuffing material. Suits sintepon, holofayber, trimming scraps.
9. Sew by hand left hole neatly on the front side.

Such souvenirs are made of any one-color or colored fabric. If there is a desire, you can draw a muzzle on the finished product. For this, it is better to pre-coat the corresponding part with PVA glue so that the paint does not fade after drying.

An even simpler technology is the creation of rabbits out of felt. This material allows you to grind parts manually and does not require the processing of the edges, since it does not crumble. The parts are usually sewn on the front side across or along the edge with a conventional or decorative seam.

Small details are embroidered and even glued. This technology allows you to make a lot of souvenirs in a short time.

For any of the two methods, the pattern shown in the figure below will work. It can be used for application, and even for working with the test.

Interior dolls

The next two ideas are suitable for needlewomen with experience. If in the previous section we considered simple textile souvenirs, here in the photo is shown a doll in the form of a rabbit. To make it, you need to cut a lot of parts, which are first stitched and stuffed separately, and then combined into one.

Such a souvenir, made by hand, will become a full-fledged gift and a pleasant home accessory.

Crocheted Crochet

If you own this tool, try making gifts in this way. As a basis, use a wooden egg or fill the form with stuffing material.

The details of the product are knitted separately, and then sew together.
