Eraser-Stamped Easter Bunny Shirt Courtesy of Jessica of CutesyCrafts.com

Here's what you'll need to make this Easter shirt:

- bunny pattern
- white shirt
- Freezer Paper (if you can't find this use wax paper. Wax side down and use a tea towel or old qutra on upper side so it doesn't stick to iron)
- fabric paint - pink and green
- pencil with an unused eraser
- x-acto knife (optional)

I wanted to get a little more creative with this one, so I cut the eraser tip into a flower shape.  You could just leave it as a circle, but I think this made it look a lot cuter!  Just draw a flower shape onto the eraser and cut it with an x-acto knife.  It doesn't need to be perfect... mine certainly wasn't.  Test it out a little before you stamp on the shirt, so that you'll know if it's working right.


Trace the bunny silhouette pattern onto the non-shiny side of some freezer paper, and cut it out.


Iron the bunny, shiny side down, onto the shirt.


Dip your pencil eraser stamp into some paint and start stamping!  Don't get too much paint on the eraser or you will end up with a blob instead of a flower.  You're also gonna want to put some freezer paper on the inside of the shirt to keep the paint from leaking through.


Make sure the stamps are close together around the outline of the bunny so you can see the silhouette.  Just like on my clover shirt, I faded the stamps out as they got further away.


Let the paint dry and peel off the freezer paper.  Follow the instructions on your paint to heat set it (usually this involves ironing or throwing it in the dryer).


Ta da!  (P.S. Isn't Audrey's new hair cut adorable?!  I love when her hair is short!)


Here's a nice pinnable image for ya.

  1. Hi, where did you get an x-acto knife from in Kuwait?

    1. Hmmm.. Not sure but it is optional. I think I would cut the bunny shape with scissors.
