Wooden spoon bunny pins are a cute and clever way to recycle wooden ice cream spoons.

Even young children can create a wooden spoon bunny pin with a little adult assistance.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 wooden ice cream spoons, washed
• 1 used margarine container, washed
• Masking tape
• White craft glue
• Paintbrush
• White tempera paint or poster paint
• Clear glitter
• 2 googly eyes
• Small pom-pom, pink
• Narrow ribbon in a pastel color of your choice
• Safety pin
• Plastic tablecloth or newspapers

1. Protect your working surface with a plastic tablecloth or a layer of newspapers.

2. Glue the wide end of two wooden ice cream spoons together so that the narrower ends of the spoons are at a slight angle to form V-shaped bunny ears. The front spoon will be the bunny's face.

3. Mix two parts of white tempera paint or poster paint with one part white craft glue in a margarine container. Paint the wooden spoon bunny pin with the mixture and sprinkle it with clear glitter while it's still wet.

4. Glue two "googly" eyes on each bunny, and add a pink pompon nose. Tie the narrow ribbon in a bow and glue it below the bunny's ears.

5. Attach a safety pin to the back of the bunny, using a piece of masking tape to hold it in place while the glue dries.
