You really can’t go wrong with a little bit of leopard print thrown into your spring and Easter decor. Am I right?

But the only way I love my neutral is with…….you guessed it….LEOPARD!
Of course, if leopard ain’t yo thang, then you can totally do this any color or style you like.

How to Make a Dollar Tree Bunny Head Shelf Sitter
I made this Leopard Print Bunny Head on video. So you can WATCH the tutorial by clicking below.
First step of this cute and easy DT Bunny Head is to stain the wood bunny head, Jenga Block, AND the rectangular wood base with Antique Wax. I used a scrap piece from Dollar Tree for the base, but you could just as easily use a paint stick or a couple of shims as the base.
Next, Trace the bunny head onto the leopard print scrapbook paper (or any paper!) and cut it out.
Then Mod Podge the paper to the bunny head and sand the edges to give it a finished look.
Cut a small black heart for the bunny nose, and glue it to the bunny face with some twine “whiskers”.
Glue a small lace simple bow to the bunnies head, and add a small sunflower embellishment to the center of the bow.
Now, hot glue the bunny head to the base, using a Jenga Block behind it as support like you see below.
Glue some excelsior all around the bunny head and the base so that it covers the Jenga block and gives the bunny a little “nest” to lay in.
Paint 2 small wood carrots, and then dirty them up using Antique Wax.
I glued 2 of them on the left side together, and then 1 on the right. The carrot on the right will be used as support for our little sign next.
Now to make the little sign! Cut a square of burlap and fray the edges. Then cut a square of thin cardboard or Kraft paper, and glue it to the burlap.
Use the mini alphabet stamps to stamp “Hop on the Wild Side” or whatever cute and clever saying you come up with.
Glue the sign to a wood skewer so that it makes a standing sign and then glue it to the base right in front of the carrot so that it helps it to stand up.
Oh.EM.GEE. I just love how this turned out!
The Dollar Tree Leopard Bunny Head looks so cute with that wood biscuit carrot in the background that we made in my subscription group, The CRafterparty!
