Have you met our ancestor, Peter?
His silhouette hangs in our house to welcome spring.
Look at that regal profile.
Don’t have a long lost relative named Peter – just make your own and pretend.
DIY Bunny Silhouette
1) Draw bunny on a heavy piece of card stock (feel free to print out and trace my Peter Cottontail)
2) Cut out card stock bunny and trace onto a colorful piece of Martha Stewart Crafts Scrapbook Paper
3) Use Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch to create a 12″ circle on a colorful piece of paper
4) Create a 9″ circle with a white piece of paper
5) Layer the bunny and circles onto a piece of scrapbook paper with a glue stick
6) Frame and welcome the newest member of your family, Peter Cottontail, into your family
In case you missed Day 1, make your own egg garland and see my spring mantel here.

Absolutely WONDERFUL Kelly!!
This is so cute! I don’t really decorate for Easter, but now I’m thinking I should definitely throw some bunnies in the mix! 🙂
Love this silhouette! Perfect for Easter!
Peter is pretty darn handsome. I’m loving your color combination. So very cheerful!
Looks like there’s going to be lots of Easter fun at your house Kelly.
Ohh love your Peter artwork! So charming Kelly!! 🙂
H’e’s quite the handsome fellow, I can see where you get your good looks.
So cute and clever! Much cuter than some of my ancestors. 😉 lol

I LOVE this project . How clever! I also love Peter Cottontail. I actually had a stuffed Rabbit of Peter and his mother, and read those books all the time, then read Beatrix Potter to my kids until they wouldn’t listen anymore. Thanks for the nostalgia, love the updated look for Peter!
How cute is that? Love that idea.
Clever idea on your egg garland as well.
Looks like you’re really getting prepared for Easter.
Thanks for the inspiration

Awww! That’s too cute! Pinning 🙂

Hi there! I am interested in doing this project; however, I cannot find the Peter Rabbit template. Could you please email it to me? skressmom@cox.net
Thank you.
What size is your frame and do you have a copy of the rabbit template?
Thanks
Lisa
the frame is a 12″ x 12″ and I drew the bunny so I don’t have a template. Try printing the picture out and resizing on a copier.
HELP………I can’t find the link to print out the silhouette of Peter Cottontail.
