Paint Your Own - Cute Hare - (SLER-PY-4)

Perfect for the artistic member of the family. Take these hand turned Russian Linden moulds and create your very own dolls using your imagination. Take a look at our souvenir section to get some inspiration for how to decorate and finish them in a traditional way.

This is a wooden figurine of a Hare from our “Paint it Yourself” collection. The size of this Hare is 6 cm (2.4 inches)

The base model for this piece is made of Russian Linden wood and is ready to be decorated. Decorating your own animal doll can be great fun for adults and kids alike.

You may want to draw outline patterns with a pencil first and you can then use any paint appropriate to be applied to wood (gouache, water based acrylic paint, oil paint). Apply the paint evenly and let it dry. You may want to decorate it in stages, smaller sections first, let them dry and then paint other sections. If decorating together with small children it may be a good idea to help them decorate smaller sections of your patterns. After the paint is completely dry (refer to manufacture’s recommendations with regards to proper timing), varnish should be applied to give your masterpiece a good protection and shiny finish. It is always better to apply several layers of varnish for the best results.

Enjoy and have fun!
