How 2 Make A Round Whimsy Bunny

Paper Mache Clay Bunny

bunnyTo create your whimsy bunny you can use the paper mache strip recipe or the paper mache clay recipe, it is totally up to you.
In the video demonstration I use clay to finish my bunny but I explain how to finish without making the clay and only using the paper strips.
It's pretty easy, I believe it is something that you all can do and enjoy. Oh, goodness and they do turn out cute. You could add accessories to your bunny like a pocket watch or glasses; I hope to get your creative juices flowing.
