4.
Use Paper Snips to trim the ovals from step 2 to create smaller pieces for inside of ears.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere trimmed piece to Whisper White piece centering horizontally and
lining up the bottom edges of each oval. Set aside.
Bow
1. Punch bow from Best Year Ever DSP and assemble using Glue Dots. Don’t use tails. Set aside.
Spool
1. Hold end of Baker’s Twine with thumb and wrap entire spool pushing rows together to make a tight fit as
you go. Snip end and glue with a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Face & Head Assembly:
1. Eyes: Color two large Basic Pearls with a black permanent marker. Attach to Spool about 3/4" down from
the top edge as shown.
2. Cheeks: Punch two large Whisper White circles using the Owl Builder Punch. Attach to face using a small
piece of Stampin’ Dimensional material from edge of the sheet.
3. Nose: Use Heart Border Punch to punch a heart for the nose from Whisper White. Press into the Pink
Pirouette Ink Pad to color. Attach to face with a drop of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
4. Whiskers: Snip off one selvedge edge. Pull six plies from Burlap ribbon. Each piece should be between 6"
and 7" long. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue under the edge of one cheek. Poke one end of the burlap plie
into the glue. Repeat to create three whiskers on each side. Position the whiskers while glue is still wet.
Let dry before moving to the next step. Trim to desired length.
Note: KEEP THE LEFTOVER BURLAP FOR CREATING HAIR ON THE BOY BUNNY.
