You’ve probably wondered if I was going to do a post with 2×4’s… it’s been awhile but of course I had to make some characters for spring!! I just love using wood, it’s so cheap. Especially if you check out the clearance section, then you can get it for really cheap. I got a 6ft 2×4 for $.51!!
This year I decided not to put them outside, they got ruined last year. So instead I’m just putting them on my ledge in my family room.
Here is how I them:
1) For the butterfly, I cut a 2×2 to 8 inches and then painted it green. Using some felt (it was the stiff kind) I cut out wings. I glued the wings onto the 2×2.
2) Then I put a pipe cleaner on the top. I wanted to add a little color, so I punched out circles out of glitter paper and glued them to the wings.
And there are the butterflies, super easy!
3) For the bunny, I took some felt and wrapped it around the wood.
4) Then I cut out some ears. To make sure the felt didn’t fall, I glued a popsicle stick to it. (Sorry for the blurry picture….)
5) I stapled the ears onto the wood and then decorated the face.
And there are the bunnies 🙂
6) For the duck, I used white felt and white feathers. I used felt instead of paint because I want it to have a fuzzy look under the feathers.
7) I wrapped the wood and then glued on feathers.
8) Then I added the face.
Super easy and super cheap!!!
Those are cuuute!!

Kaysi, they're adorable! I love the bunny faces!
I love these! The bunnies look really naughty as though they're about to go and do something tricksy like eat all your seedlings 😀
Kaysi — These are so cute and I love that all I need is felt and my glue gun. I'd love it if you'd share these at Whimsy Wednesdays at http://www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/whimsy-wednesdays-3.html. We go live tonight at 8 EST.
How cute are they!!!! My girls would love these!!
Thanks for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality!!
These are really cute! I love the yellow bunny the best. I have seen these with painted wood but the felt seems like it would be faster and cuter! Great job!
Ha ha. I am dying over the bunny's teeth. They're so cute!! I adore these Kaysi!! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!

LOVE the ducks! So creative on all of these! I might try your butterfly ones with the $1 store butterflies (the ones you used on a pillow before) to decorate for my daughter's 1st birthday.
Oh my goodness! I just want to give that duck a squeeze; he's too cute!!
Oh those are too cute, love the feathers. I don't know if you have shared this yet at Bacon Time, but I am hosting a Spring Battle of the Cookers and Crafters, and there are some great prizes if you are interested.
