What you need to make an upcycled spring bunny

Old spring or wire to make one. You could even use a wire coat hanger.

Large wooden ball – the one I used was about 6-7 cm in diameter

Wood slice – 10- 12 cm in diameter

Scrap pieces of felt in grey and cream. I used some sweater felt scraps I had left over from other upcycles.

Superglue gel

Black Sharpie pen fine tip

How to make the upcycled bunny rabbit

Step 1: The first thing to do is to make a spring if you don’t have one of the right size. I used the neck of a large beer bottle for this, as I wanted a tapered spring. Simply wrap the wire tightly around the neck of the bottle to make the spring.

Step 2. The next thing to do is to cut out bunny ears from the grey felt and bunny feet from the cream felt.

Step 3. Then, glue the feet to the wood slice for the base of the bunny spring, like in the picture below.

Step 4. Draw the bunny’s face onto the wooden ball using a black sharpie. If you are not confident with your drawing ability, you can draw the face in pencil first.

Then, when you are happy with the face, go over the pencil lines with the permanent marker. Finish off the head by glueing on the bunny ears.

Step 5: Finally, glue the wooden ball head to the spring using the super glue gel. Then, glue the spring to the wood slice base.
