Rustic Bunny and Carrot Garland

Here is an adorable wired garland that can be made with wood or cardboard so it's a project anyone can do!

First I googled a bunny shape. 


I cut out the shape and traced it onto 1/4" reclaimed wood.

Here is where you would cut the shape from cardboard if you don't have a jigsaw.

I cut my bunny and carrot shapes from the wood and drilled 2 holes for the wire in each piece. 


I used grey and orange craft paint to paint my wooden (cardboard) shapes.

I added details with a fine Sharpie marker and a rub on transfer on the carrot. 


Next, I sanded the edges of my wood pieces to give them a rustic look.

You can get the same look on cardboard, just sand lightly. 


Using a 3' length of rebar wire, I strung the bunny and carrot shapes onto the wire, curling the wire along the way.

I added loops to the ends of the wire for hanging then added a few small ties of rags along the wire for ribbons.

Here is a heavy cardboard carrot garland I made last year, it works just as well!
