From start to finish you can expect this project to take 30-40 min depending on the amount of detail you want to have in your bunny. My wood bunny sign was painted at least 4 times until I got the colors that I thought would work best for this sweet girl. To add the whisker spots use the end of a paint brush dipped in paint to create dots.

CUTTING
Start by selecting or creating your design and saving into SVG format. The design I used for the wood bunny sign can be found HERE. There are also a lot of other great designs in that bundle totally worth the money. Once the design is uploaded into the Glowforge app I set the machine to cut my 1/4 plywood.
A whopping 5 minutes later the design is cut and ready to go and ready for a base coat of paint.
PAINTING
Before painting lay the pieces of the wood bunny sign out to get the correct placement. I give each piece at least one coat of paint. The paint serves double duty it acts as a primer for the other paint colors and also helps seal the cut edges of the wood reducing any char odor that might remain.
DECOUPAGE
While the paint is drying you can set the Glowforge up to cut paper for the flower crown. I prefer a thicker scrapbook cardstock but most any paper will do as long as you use the correct settings. After the paint is dry and the paper flowers have been cut it’s time to decoupage (Mod Podge) the paper to the flowers. For this application I chose a spotted patterned paper and a solid paper. Mixing the elements of the flowers gives the wood bunny sign a nice touch.

Make sure to glue your wood bunny pieces securely to your sign. I prefer DAP Rapid fuse.
