1) Print out a cute bunny silhouette like this one sized to your liking (I made it as big as could fit on a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper)

2) Cut out silhouette and make your own stencil by laying bunny onto stencil film and cutting out with an x-acto knife

3) Put paper bags under burlap runner like this one so paint won’t bleed through

4) With a pouncer, pounce on brown craft paint (for chocolate bunnies) or choose your favorite paint color

5) Once paint is dry, add fluffy white pom pom tails (see how I made these pom poms with a fork)

  1. OMG Kelly this is adorable!!! Going to try my hand at getting one done before Easter. Thanks for the tutorial.

  2. Now that is the most clever idea ever ! Gotta do that somewhere. These bunnies will be ‘hopping’ all over blogland.
    Blessings,
    Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures

  3. These little bunnies are adorable. I love their pompom tails.

    You’re going to rule the world with those pompoms. I expect to see you wearing some at Haven!

  4. You’ve got to be kidding me. I can not believe the cuteness factor that these have. Pinning it, doing it! THANK YOU!!! xoxo jules

  5. I think this could be my most favorite Easter project I have seen. Truthfully, I get a little wary of the pastels and cute. This is just so moi. Whimsical, and so cute!

  6. Great idea, I have all my materials and am making pom poms now…question, my table is only 6 ft long and the runner is 15 ft — did you have to trim yours? How did you keep it from fraying?

  7. I absolutely love this! I am going to try and convince my fiance to let me use these at our wedding. I seriously love bunnies!! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

  9. I just made this – it took me about two hours and it looks fantastic. It’s going on my table at Easter. I didn’t put pom-pom tails on all the rabbits though, only the ones that hang over the end of the table (that way I can put plates down on the table without rabbit tails in the way)

  10. I’ve had this pinned for like 2 years now, and finally got around to making it! It turned out SO cute! Wish I could have share a pic!

  15. When I first opened the email I thought..”how did she get a picture of my table runner?” Ha ha! I actually made it based on this post from years ago! It’s so cute!
