- -Craft knife and cutting mat
- -Freezer paper
- -FREE Bunny template (On the blog post)
- -Cardboard or freezer paper for creating the stencil

- -Glue or needle and thread for the pom pom

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Print out the bunny template/transfer to cardboard (like a cereal box) and cut out to make a stencil
OR Print out the template; Tape it to a cutting mat; Tape a sheet of freezer paper over the bunny (shiny side down); Cut the bunny out (with a craft knife), creating a stencil with the freezer paper.
Step 2
Heat the iron to cotton setting.
Center the stencil on the t-shirt (shiny side down).
Place a clean lightweight cloth over the stencil.
Press/Iron the stencil to the shirt.
Step 3
Use the masking/blue tape to create stripes on the bunny (leave the freezer paper on the shirt). Paint the bright coral in the stripes.
Step 4
After the paint is completely dry, remove the tape and freezer paper stencil.
Step 5
Now you have a super cute and customizable bunny T for Easter and Spring!
Step 6
Place a piece of cardboard (I use cereal boxes all the time) in the t-shirt (this protects the back of the shirt from painting bleeding through). Use the Tangerine paint and color the bunny all over. Let dry thoroughly.
Step 7
Add any detail you like. We used a large white pom pom and sewed is on for a tail (you can glue it too) or add a cute little bow to the bunny ear!
