How to Paint a Bunny on Wood using a Template

Steps through 6 go with the above images. And Step 7 to complete bunny painting; Using ivory colored craft paint, paint in the stencil on the wood. You can hold down the edges of the stencil with your fingertips as you go along the edges to make sure you get a good clean shape.

Instructions:

Begin by printing, then cutting out the bunny silhouette from the printable bunny template.
Trace the bunny shape onto a large piece of cardstock with a pencil. The thicker the cardstock the better for this craft.
Beginning at the bottom of the bunny shape where the straight line is, cut out the silhouette shape from the cardstock.
Use tape to close the cut at the bottom of the bunny shape in the cardstock, so that it forms a closed stencil.
Lay your cardstock stencil on top of your wood sign where you would like your bunny shape to appear.
Tape down the edges of your cardstock stencil so that it does not slip and slide while you are painting.
Using ivory colored craft paint, paint in the stencil on the wood. You can hold down the edges of the stencil with your fingertips as you go along the edges to make sure you get a good clean shape.
Let the stencil stay on your wood sign until the paint has completely dried.
Once the paint is dry, remove the stencil from your sign and discard.
