Easter Bunny and Basket

April 7th, 2020

Since we are still all under stay at home orders and the kiddos are out of school for the remainder of this year I thought I would make this cute basket and a bunny on a stick. I have not laughed so much in ages trying to record this video and make eyes for the bunny and come to realize that almost everything I used was retired...in the end I just said, "Just use what you have! Cut up a cereal box if you have to etc. Then I forgot to draw the bunny feet and whiskers and give him a bow tie... lol! Have you ever just had one of those days?  Hope you like my little projects any way...

Measurements and Supplies:
