Making the Dot Marker Canvas Art Project
_______
First, cut out a bunny head and shoulders template from sturdy paper in a size that fits the canvas board of choice. A smaller canvas size works well for this project and is easy and economical to purchase at a dollar store.
Next, lay the bunny template on the canvas.
Feel free to download this bunny template to use for the canvas art project.

Then select a dot marker color of choice and fill in the bunny-shaped cutout. For my first bunny, I used a purple shimmer dot marker. On the canvas, it has a purply-pink hue.
Tip: Lighter-hued dot markers work best for this art project.
Afterward, take off the cardboard cutout and let the silhouette bunny design dry. Dot marker art dries quickly, even on a canvas, so it won’t take long.
Finally, using white glue or a glue gun, affix two wiggly eyes, a button nose, and a curved pipe cleaner mouth to create a bunny face.

This art project is so much fun, you may wish to create bunny art in a few different colors. Displayed together, the bunnies make quite a statement. You can also use two or more dot marker colors to create each silhouette.
