2. The Playful PVC Pipe Bunny

This charming bunny is perfect for Easter decorations or a year-round garden friend. Its simple geometric shapes make it an ideal beginner project.

1. Materials and Tools Needed

Gather: 1/2-inch diameter PVC pipe (about 6 feet), various PVC fittings (four tees, two elbows, four end caps), PVC cutter, PVC cement, white spray paint, pink paint for the inner ears, and a small piece of black felt.

2. Constructing the Frame

The body is a simple rectangle. Cut two long pieces for the top and bottom and four short pieces for the vertical sides, connecting them with tee fittings at the corners. The head is a cube made from shorter pieces and elbows. Attach the head to the body using a pipe segment inserted into a tee on the body and a tee on the head's base.

3. Adding Details

Create ears by cutting thin, tall ovals from the flat side of a larger diameter pipe or using PVC sheet. Attach them to the top of the head. For legs, use short pipe segments with end caps as feet. Paint the entire bunny white, add pink to the ear centers, and glue on small black felt circles for eyes and a nose.
