Instructions
1. Cut out the template provided or trace and secure to mount board. Carefully cut out using a sharp craft knife. Any rough edges will be covered with the thread.
2. Cut a 60cm length of DMC thread and glue the end of it to what will be the back of your wreath. Allow to dry. When dry, start wrapping around the wreath, keeping the thread tight. Once all the way round glue down and hold for a minute. Leave to dry and then cut excess thread.
Top tip! Try variations on this design by swapping the eggs for pom poms.
3. Trace or cut out the bunny template and transfer to thick white insert card. Carefully cut out using a sharp craft knife. Using a green pen or pencil, go around the edge of your bunny to help it stand out.
4. Use the leaf template provided (or a suitably sized paper punch) on pastel green paper to create ten leaves. Score through the centre and attach to the wreath.
5. Working with white polymer clay make eggs measuring 6mm x 4mm wide. Bake as per manufacturer’s instructions. When dry use acrylic paints in pastel shades to paint the eggs adding an iridescent medium to give the eggs some sparkle. Secure to the wreath. Finish off the wreath by adding a pom pom on the bunny and a green bow to the top.
