Glue

A4 sheet of card for background mount - any colour will do

Glue the strips on top of the Easter Bunny - do not keep inside the lines - just stick the strips on and go over the lines of the drawing, until the whole image is covered - as above

When dry turn the paper over and cut out the Easter Bunny using the original print as your guide

Turn it over and there is your "Designer Wear" Easter Bunny!!

Attach a googly eye and a cotton ball tail if you want to finish him (or her?)

To make the flowers print out the Flower Template (links above)

Using these flowers as patterns, cut them out of your coloured paper
