Instructions

  1. Cover the wooden clothespin entirely in paint. White, light brown, or light gray are best. Allow to dry completely,
  2. Use a fine tipped paint brush to carefully paint pale pink or peach to create the bunny’s “ears.”
  3. Carefully paint on the face details as pictured. Allow to dry.
  4. Cut a wooden craft stick to the desired length, and use craft glue or hot glue to attach to the back of the painted bunny head. Insert into cupcake and enjoy!
