DIY Wooden Bunny Decor for Spring: 4 Unique Techniques to Try! 🐰🌷

Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with some adorable handmade bunny decor? Whether you're decorating for Easter or just love adding a fresh, whimsical touch to your home, these DIY wooden bunnies are simple to make and so much fun to personalize.

In my latest video, I walk you through four unique bunny designs, each showcasing a different creative technique—from chalk-style paint and decoupage, to IOD gilded transfers, paint inlays, and even stamping. These are perfect for beginner and experienced crafters alike. Let’s take a closer look at each style!

This elegant bunny was painted with Country Chic Paint in Secret Garden, a soft green that's perfect for spring. After two coats for full coverage, I added IOD gilded transfers in the "Si Belle" design—delicate and shiny, with a touch of floral flair. The trick with gilded transfers? A light touch, patience, and a little trial and error (don’t worry, I’ve been there!).

To finish it off, I painted the edges with DIY Paint’s Golden Ticket, giving the whole piece a classy, cohesive look. A quick topcoat with Big Top seals everything beautifully.

This bunny has a seated shape, which made it perfect for a mix of decoupage and paint inlays. I started with a white base (DIY Paint’s White Swan) to keep the paper bright and vibrant. I used Roycycled's Burlap Roses on one side and Patina Roses on the other—both stunning and full of spring energy.

For the paint inlays, I used pieces from the Spring Melody set, placing little bunnies in a few spots for extra charm. I sealed it all with Liquitex Matte Medium, which worked beautifully for both decoupage and inlays, giving a durable, protective finish.

And of course—more gold accents on the edges to tie the pieces together!

The final two bunnies are painted in Driftwood by Country Chic—a soft, sandy taupe—and decorated with IOD’s Velveteen stamp using DIY Paint in layered chocolate and Fancy Farm Girl for a soft marbled effect.

Once dry, I added just a touch of gilded transfer (because I can’t resist a little bling!) and sealed everything with Big Top. The finishing touch? A bit of gilding wax on the edges for that extra-special glow.

• Any flat bunny shapes will work for these projects. You can sometimes find them at thrift stores or you can use a bandsaw/scroll saw/laser cutter to cut out bunny shapes of your own design. 

• Chalk-style paints: Country Chic, DIY Paint

• IOD Products: Gilded Transfers, Paint Inlays, Velveteen Stamp

• Liquitex Matte Medium for decoupage & sealing (coming soon to my store!)

• DIY Paint’s Golden Ticket & Big Top Clear Coat

• Sanding blocks, brayer, small brushes, and a little patience 😉

These little DIY Wooden Bunnies were such a joy to make, and each one turned out with its own personality. I love how mixing mediums and techniques can give you something totally unique—even when starting from the same shape.
