“Flourish by Number” Bunny Easter Calligraphy Video Tutorial
Curious about how to use the worksheet? I made a tutorial video to walk you through it:
Having Fun With Easter Calligraphy
Have you ever worked with a âpaint by numberâ? They were quite popular when I was a little girl. According to Google, their popularity hasnât waned. Basically, the idea centers around breaking a painting apart into manageable pieces. Every piece has a number, and each number corresponds with a color. Once you fill in all the little pieces with the appropriate colors, the painting comes together to look amazing!
You can find this free printable âflourish by numberâ by clicking here. I recommend printing it out on 32# laserjet paper, which is very pointed pen-friendly. This flourish by number follows the same principle as a paint by number. Basically, you have a key that tells you which style of flourish corresponds with each number. For example, every time you see the number 1, youâll know to draw flourishes that look like connected âSâs. Arrows on the piece show you which direction the flourishes should go.
Refer to the key to see which types of strokes to draw in each piece of the bunny. Consider page 1 of the printable as a practice sheet. Obviously, when youâre done, youâll still be able to see the printed bunny outlines. Thatâs okay because filling in the bunny will have allowed you to get in some experience making the bunny.
Want to make this bunny with me? Print out your worksheet, then hit “play” on the video below:
Using the Flourished Bunny on Projects
Once youâve created the bunny once, try making it again on a project like mail art or a sketchbook page. You can go about it a couple of ways, but the easiest method is to shine up the flourish by number graphic on page 2 through a light box. Keep the key on page 1 handy, and fill in the graphic!
If you donât have a light box, you can always shine the graphic through a bright window, trace over the guidelines in pencil, use the guidelines to fill out the bunny, then erase them. 
Feel free to use your favorite pen and ink combination to flourish your bunny! I used an oblique pen and walnut ink (affiliate link) for this example. I decided to use my flourished bunny on a piece of mail art for my little nieces, ages 4 and 2. Theyâll be delighted with the lovely graphic — and thrilled to be receiving mail in general!
This envelope features George Style lettering (filled in with watercolor) and Janet Style calligraphy. To learn more about making kid-friendly mail, see this article. Why Use the Flourish By Number Worksheet?
The free printable Flourish by Number Bunny serves two purposes. First, it teaches you how to make an elegant, flourished bunny. Second, it provides a fun and unconventional calligraphy drill!
Creating the bunny will also teach you how to break things down into parts. I think that when you look at something like this bunny as a whole, itâs easy to think, âI could never make something like that.â But, break it down into steps, and things become a whole lot easier!
While this Easter calligraphy bunny provides great calligraphy practice, I do want to note that itâs not for complete calligraphy beginners. You should possess at least a basic level of familiarity with using a dip pen before you attempt to fill it out! (Otherwise, this flourishing exercise may provide discouraging.) If you donât have any experience with a pointed pen, consider taking the Beginnerâs Modern Calligraphy Online Course.
Extended Access: Beautiful Birds Calligraphy Flourishing Worksheet
The limited edition Beautiful Birds Calligraphy Flourishing Worksheet was supposed to go back into the TPK Vault on Tuesday. Over the past couple of days, however, people had a difficult time downloading it. The TPK website was going in slow motion or not loading at all, and downloads were slow or timing out. My web developer got in touch with WPEngine, our hosting company, and they said that our database of material is now too massive for the storage space we have. (I mean, there are so many printables on the site! Add photos and content to the mix, and you’ve got a whole bunch of stuff.) The obvious choice was to upgrade the storage space.
Considering the newly-upgraded website, you shouldn’t have a problem learning more about the Beautiful Birds worksheet (or downloading it). If you like today’s flourished bunny, you’ll absolutely love Beautiful Birds. In it, you’ll learn how to flourish eye-catching birds that help your pointed pen skills and elevate projects! Get it before it — really, truly — goes into the TPK Vault on Tuesday morning (4/2).

Warmly,
