These adorable bunny bottoms add a little whimsy to decorating for Easter!  Add a little hippity hop o your Easter celebration!

     You will need cardboard or thick card stock, scrapbook paper/craft paper/card stock, scissors, hole punch, glue, cotton balls, and ribbon.

     Using the cardboard or thick card stock, create a template.  A thick V with a rounded semi-circle will give you a nice "bunny butt" silhouette.

     Trace the template onto your paper of choice, creating as many bunnies as you would like to use.  Cut bunnies ou and punch a hole at the top of each ear.

     Arrange your bunnies and weave your ribbon through.  You can place the bunnies a sclose or as far apart as you'd like.  Try different arrangements before adding the ribbon.  Try little clusters of bunny friends!

     Once the bunnies are strung, spread the garland out and glue a cotton ball at the middle of each bunny bottom.  Let dry before hanging.

Get the kids involved and make this a fun family project!
