Creating Me

I loved this Valentine Garland so much that I decided I needed to make an Easter one, too! And it looks so cute with the Bunny Silhouette Canvases that I made :).

I used the largest bunny from the die set by Amuse Studio to cut my bunnies from patterned paper to match the Bunny Silhouette Canvases. The die set is discontinued, but you can also search “printable bunny templates” on Pinterest or Google to find similar patterns (like this one) you can trace onto your patterned paper and cut out by hand. 

I glued a 1-inch pom pom for each fluffy bunny tail. I attached the bunnies to orange and white twine using clear tape on the back of their ears. Here’s a little closer picture of the garland…

And here’s a picture of my Spring mantle…

I hope Spring has finally hopped into your neck of the woods!

Did you see these Winter Candles in this blog post? I’m using these same hurricanes to add a bit of Easter decor to my table.

I found these white plastic Easter eggs at Hobby Lobby – 12 for 99 cents, but they were 40% off – what a deal! They are the kind that you can fill with candy. Because they are white, they are much easier to cover with paint. The moss was in the floral department.

My local Michael’s had 2 ounce bottles of chalky finish paint by Craft Smart in several different colors for $1.99 – so great to not have to buy an 8 ounce jar!

Open the eggs up to make them easier to paint. I used the chalky finish paint in turquoise and deep peach to paint a dozen eggs in each color. I painted the eggs with 2 coats, letting it dry thoroughly between coats.

Then using an old toothbrush, I splattered the eggs with rich brown to give them a speckled look.

After the eggs had completely dried, I sprayed them with 2 light coats of a matte sealer spray.

And here’s how they look with a little moss in my hurricanes.

With a little imagination, you can reuse items you already have to change your decor for the seasons.

Bunnies bring a little whimsy to spring and Easter. Here’s a fun way to add some cuteness to your Easter decor. All you need are a 5 x 7 white canvas, a little paint, some patterned paper, and a fluffy pom pom for a tail. 

Start by painting the canvas. I found that a foam brush worked well for this. I chose to use light blue and light pink acrylic paint, but use whatever color strikes your fancy! I painted 2 coats, letting the paint dry between coats. I then dry brushed a little cream colored paint onto the canvas to add a little depth. It’s a bit hard to see in the picture, but I think it added a little something to the project. 

I used the largest bunny from the die set by Amuse Studio to cut out my bunnies from patterned paper. Unfortunately, the die set is discontinued :(. You can search “printable bunny templates” on Pinterest or Google to find similar patterns (like this one) you can trace onto your patterned paper and cut out by hand. I attached a bunny to each canvas and then glued on a 1-inch pom pom for his fluffy tail. 

Simple, easy, and cute…use your favorite colors and patterns to make some for your home!
