Run, rabbit, RUN

Brighten a wall or window with a cheerful chain made from lightweight card. To make, trace a rabbit image from a book or photograph and transpose onto a strip of thin card, which has been folded into a concertina ten to 15 times. Make sure your design touches both side edges so that the rabbits will remain linked (at the folds) – by the tail and nose – once cut out. Paint in a jolly colour to finish, or use coloured card to begin with.
