Instructions
- Prepare the Bunny Outline: Cut out the Easter Bunny template. Then, use it to trace and cut out a bunny outline from your choice of white cardstock or watercolor paper.
- Set Up Your Workspace: Place the bunny outline inside a tray. This will help contain the water and dye as you work.
- Prepare the Bleeding Tissue Paper: Cut the bleeding tissue paper into small squares. The size doesn't have to be perfect, just small enough to cover different parts of the bunny outline.
- Apply the Tissue Paper: Lay the bleeding tissue paper squares onto the bunny outline, covering it completely. Feel free to overlap the pieces slightly for a more interesting color blend.
- Spray with Water: Using your spray bottle, gently spray water over the bunny, dampening all the tissue paper squares. Watch as the colors start to bleed and blend together on the paper beneath.
- Let It Dry: Set the bunny aside to dry. Depending on how much water you used, this could take a few hours.
- Remove the Tissue Paper: Once dry, carefully remove the tissue paper to reveal the dyed bunny beneath.
- Add Final Touches: Glue a large, colorful pom pom to the bottom of the bunny for a tail. Then, glue the entire bunny onto a sheet of black construction paper to create a striking contrast
