The Easter Bunny is not a typical and traditional symbol for our Russian culture in the celebration of the Easter holiday. We have closer paint, a festive cake and a little pastry in the form of larks. But recently, following an ever-growing number of tourists who have been abroad, the cute western Easter rabbit is becoming more and more popular with us. Moreover, he has a magical ability to collect multi-colored chocolate eggs in his nest, hidden in the most secluded corner of the house or garden. Such a wonderful property simply could not go unnoticed by our little sweet tooth. And now, after St. Nicholas, who had just recently begun to lay out surprises for our children under pillows at night, the Easter Bunny had also almost trodden a path in our gardens. And so that it does not become overgrown with grass and does not get lost among the bushes, it is worth lodging its symbolic images in the house.
We create a fairy tale with children
The Easter bunny, created with his own hands and on the eve of the holiday, lovingly placed in the most prominent place, will bring warmth and joy, fill the atmosphere of the house with the expectation of a miracle. And, of course, it is best to craft this wizard with the children, because the kids are closest to the fairy tale. Give them materials, suggest a direction in technology, and they will easily think up the details and image themselves.
From simple to complex
Of course, even with the advent of various new techniques, the most simple and affordable for children of any age are still drawing and application.
The easiest rabbit to perform next may be an Easter rabbit made using a combination of the two previous techniques, but not in the plane, but in volume. An egg shell was taken as a model for its manufacture , from which the contents were neatly blown.
Here is such a simple version of the Easter bunny can be collected using multi-colored rep ribbons.
More complicated will be the option of painting on stone. In the hands of the master, this cold material truly turns into a work of art.
You can make the entire Easter composition yourself, without resorting to the use of additional forms. For example, perform the egg using the papier-mâché technique.
You can create fundamentally different homemade products if you use different techniques for working with fabrics. There are no very simple options here. Indeed, for tailoring a rabbit from fabric, you must have a successful pattern, and then grind all the details in the correct sequence and very carefully. And complete the work by adding the smallest details with embroidery or applique on the fabric. Here are examples of how this might look ready-made.
And this is a stylish Easter bunny sewn from fabric using the Tilda doll technique.
The next in complexity can be called a hare made by dry felting. Here's how it looks in the photo.
Lovers of plasticine creativity can be offered to make such a magical rabbit from polymer clay. In the photo, in addition to the "eared", there is also a house for him, made using the quilling technique.
There are still a lot of options for handmade creativity in making an Easter bunny. And only your desire, imagination and skill can become a limitation in choosing a needlework method. But whichever technique you choose, the value will remain unchanged exclusively and with the love of the work done.
