Difficulty Level
Supplies:
- Wooden Rounds
- Paint
- Felt
- Googly Eyes
- Paintbrushes
- Round Ferrite Magnets
- Feathers
- Coloured Wool (if you don't have feathersfor the chicks.)
- Pom Poms
- Pen

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
Gather all your supplies, including wooden rounds, paint, paintbrushes, and any decorative items you'd like to use for your bunnies and chicks. Begin by painting the base colour onto each wooden round. If you're applying multiple layers of paint, make sure to allow sufficient time for drying between layers to avoid a sticky mess. Learn from my mistake and exercise patience during this step!
Step 2: Add Felt Accents
Using a pen, sketch out the shapes for the felt accents, such as the chick's beak and bunny's feet. Remember, they don't have to be perfect – the goal is to have fun with it! Cut out the felt pieces based on your outlines.
Step 3: Bring Your Characters to Life
Now it's time to assemble your bunnies and chicks! Using a glue gun, attach googly eyes, felt accents, feathers, or wool to your painted wooden rounds. Let your creativity flow as you customise each character to your liking.
Step 4: Attach Magnets
Flip over the wooden rounds and securely attach a Ferrite Disc Magnet to the centre of each one using glue. Hold the magnet in place for about 15 seconds to ensure it adheres properly.
And there you have it – your charming DIY magnetic Easter bunnies and chicks are ready to spread joy! Place them on your fridge or any magnetic surface and watch as they bring smiles to everyone who sees them. This quick and easy craft project is perfect for some last-minute Easter fun with the kids. Happy crafting!
