Easter Bunny Footprint ShapeWhat you will need:

Step overview:
Step one
Cut out the footprint shape from a piece of scrapbooking card.
Step three
Place the template on floor in your desired location and gently sprinkle over the cocoa powder/baking soda mixture.
Step four
Spritz the bunny footprints with a light spray water bottle, this will make them look like mud. Create a trail of foot prints as desired.
Detailed instructions:
- Download the .svg file and save it onto a USB to plug it directly into your cutting machine.
- Place the scrapbooking card on your machine mat. Use masking tape to hold the cardstock firmly in place if needed.
- Load the mat into your machine.
- Load the BunnyFootprints_12x12.svg. (If you have a Brother ScanNCut do a quick scan of your mat to make sure the design is positioned correctly on top of the cardstock).
- Adjust your machine settings to allow for the cardstock thickness. (The SDX range of Brother ScanNCut will do this automatically if you if you have enabled this setting)
Tip: We suggest doing a test cut to ensure you have your settings correct for the medium you are using. Cutting a small hole in the corner of your mat is a lot less upsetting than cutting a large design straight through your mat.
- Proceed with cutting the design.
- Once the machine has finished cutting your design, unload the mat from the machine and gently remove the cut cardstock. You will now have a template for the bunny footprints.
- Mix the cocoa powder and the baking soda in a small bowl.
- Place the template on the floor in your desired location and gently sprinkle cocoa/baking soda mixture over the template to fill in the cut out sections. Use your hand to spread the mixture if needed. Take extra care not to spill over the edge of the card otherwise you will be left with an outline.
- Carefully lift the template without spilling any of the excess cocoa/baking soda mixture, leaving the bunny footprints.
- Spritz the footprints using a light spray water bottle, this will make the footprints look like mud.
- Enjoy seeing the reaction on the kids' faces when they discover the easter bunny has left some footprints in the backyard!
