Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t have a wooden bunny cutout, you can easily create your own by printing out a bunny silhouette on cardstock and cutting it out. Then, simply trace the bunny onto a piece of wood and cut it out with a jigsaw or scroll saw.
- For a more rustic look, you can distress the edges of the wooden board and bunny cutout with sandpaper instead of using paint.
- Get creative with your lettering! You can use stencils or stickers if you don’t have a cutting machine, or freehand your letters for a more whimsical feel.
