Instructions

    Trace a diamond shape around your mask.

  2. Small 110278 2f2015 08 20 171812 img 6733

    Use a Dremel saw to cut off the excess edges from the wood.

    Sand down any rough edges.

    Fill in the holes of the mask with clay.

    I also added a couple of gems to the eyes before leaving it to set.

    Pierce holes in the rabbits head, where you'd like the antlers aka branches to go.

    Pierce the branches through the holes and push them down until they touch the bottom of the mask.

  8. Small 110278 2f2015 08 20 130251 img 2030

    Use some wire to bind the branches together where they overlap and fix the branches to the top and bottom of the mask with some clay.

    Leave to dry overnight before painting your wood base and the mask with several coats of white paint.

    For this project, you'll need a cheap plastic rabbit mask and a piece of wood. I was able to get this docket for £1.50 from B&Q making the entire cost of my project just £3.
