Papier Mâché Bunny Head Part I

Spring is in the air and some bunny's in the enchanted forest. This little hare peeks out through the leaves with its big eyes and floppy ears.  It's hard to just make one.  I hope this project will inspire several whimsical creations for your home or indoor fairy garden.  Enjoy!

This bunny project uses paper napkins and recycled paper mixed with liquid starch.  I also used a skewer to support the head.  It can be a pen/pencil topper or an art doll head.
•••
Note:  Dampen the paper frequently with liquid starch as you press together.
•••

1.  Crumple ordinary paper & cover with paper napkin.

2.  Add liquid starch a little at a time and hand/finger press the paper into an egg shape.

3.  Press more pieces of crumpled napkin to shape forehead, nose & cheeks.

4.  Allow to dry.

 

  

Press to create indentations for eyes and continue to shape towards the nose.  Add more paper napkin pieces to build up the nose and cheeks.

 

This will continue throughout the entire piece.  Allow to dry in between stages.  When it is tacky enough, insert a skewer or pencil. Add more napkin pieces to hold it in place.  Dampen & press around skewer.  Allow to completely dry so that it can be handled better.
