Easter rabbit in pictures - from simple to complex

The Easter rabbit is not a typical and traditional symbol for our Russian culture in celebrating the bright holiday of Easter. We are nearer krashenki, a festive Easter cake and a small bun in the form of larks. But recently, after a growing number of tourists who have visited abroad, the cute western Easter rabbit is becoming more popular with us. Moreover, he has the magic ability to collect colored chocolate eggs in his nest, hidden in the most secluded corner of the house or garden. Such a wonderful property just could not go unnoticed by our little sweethearts. And now, after St. Nicholas, who only recently started to lay out under the pillows surprises for our children, the Easter bunny has already almost trodden our path in our gardens. And so that it does not overgrown with grass and is not lost among the bushes, it is worthwhile to settle in the house its symbolic images.

We create a fairy tale with the children

The Easter hare, created by itself and on the eve of the holiday, lovingly placed in the most prominent place, will bring warmth and joy, fill the atmosphere of the house with the expectation of a miracle. And, of course, it's best to make this wizard with the children, because the kids are closest to the fairy tale. Give them materials, suggest a direction in technology, and details and an image they easily think out themselves.

From simple to complex

Of course, even with the appearance of different new techniques, the most simple and accessible for children of any age is still the drawing and appliqué.

Next on the complexity of performance can be the Easter rabbit, performed with the combination of the two previous techniques, but not on the plane, but in the volume. As a model for its production, an egg shell is taken from which the contents are gently blown out.

Here is such a simple version of the Easter bunny can be assembled using colorful ribbon ribbons.

More difficult is the option of painting on stone. In the hands of the master this cold material truly turns into a work of art.

You can make the whole Easter composition yourself, without resorting to the use of additional forms. For example, the egg is made in the papier-mache technique.

You can create fundamentally other homemade, if you use a variety of techniques for working with tissues. Very simple options are not here. After all, to sew a rabbit out of cloth, you must have a successful pattern, and then stitch all the parts in the right order and very carefully. And finish the work by adding the smallest details with embroidery or appliqués on the fabric. Here are examples of how it might look like it's ready.
