Turn Any Photo of Your Child Into a Cute Easter Bunny
Don’t have any Easter photos to display of your kids? That’s okay, because with this simple video tutorial, you can turn any photo of your child into an Easter bunny photo. Watch now to learn how to make this fun, easy and personalized craft.
Materials
- Picture of child in picture frame
- White cardboard
- Pink foam sheet
- Cotton balls or pom poms
Tools
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Scissors
Instructions
Your first step is to pick a photograph and a frame to work with. I chose an ornate little oval-shaped frame, and put a small picture inside it.- For the frame, there really are no “rules,” but white is a good color since you can then make the bunny ears in a classic white as well.
- For your child’s photo, you are going to want to pick a portrait which will fill up the frame, and which has your child facing the camera directly. Get the frame and put the picture inside if it isn’t already in there.
- Draw the shapes of bunny ears
- On the white cardboard (white cardstock can work as well), trace the outlines of two matching bunny ears. Then cut them out.
- To the best of your ability, cut out matching, smaller shapes from the pink foam sheet to serve as the bunny’s inner ears.
- Use glue to attach the inner ears to the outer ears.
- Now, you can use hot glue to attach the bunny ears to the top of the photo frame.
- The last step is to get a couple of pom poms or cotton balls and glue them to the frame glass over your child’s nose.
- You have now dressed up the picture frame (and your photo of your child) like an Easter Bunny. Set it up to display.
Notes
If you use hot glue to do this project, the conversion of the frame and glass to accommodate an Easter photo and theme may be fairly permanent. If you wanted to remove the ears and the cotton balls, it might be pretty tough to remove all be glue residue left behind.
If you just want to temporarily convert a regular picture frame into an Easter picture frame using this technique, you could try using double-stick tape instead.
There might be a little bit of sticky residue left on the glass afterwards, but you likely could scrub it off. You could then display the same picture in the same frame through the rest of the year, and decorate it again for Easter next year.
