Burlap Bag Bunny

I wanted to create something new to add to my Easter collection. The boys have recently been obsessed with bunnies in books, and I thought something of substantial size would be a great for them to be able to look at. But, it would also have to be something not too fragile for them to touch or bump into.

I took a burlap bag that I purchased from Online Fabric Store had been sitting in a drawer in my basement waiting to be used. This bag is 17 inches by 27 inches.  I took some poly fill that I had from a previous project and kept it in the plastic bag. I simply placed it inside of the burlap bag. Then I tied two bunny ears  by gathering the top section in two pieces and using some ribbon I had at home.  The filling took up about half of the bag.

I then used a foam brush to make a square shaped face out of craft paint on the bag itself.  It did not take long at all to dry. I used a foam round dauber to make the eyes and nose. Then I used a smaller paint brush to make the whiskers and mouth.  This project took less than thirty minutes if you wanted to include drying time with it.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project idea for spring.

Burlap Egg Craft & Spring Mantel



I apparently cannot get enough of the burlap canvases at Michaels. I made this simple project for my spring mantel at my girls craft night. I went with the same concept of my burlap monogram. It was fun and easy to do.


I layered a piece of scrapbook paper and a doily using spray adhesive. Then I cut out a circle shape from a moss mat I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I topped that off with a blue robin's egg. I am making one of these for each of Wynn's teachers for Easter too. 


It looks cute with my Easter decorations on my mantel this spring. I have my Easter Printable I shared up there along with my Spring Wreath I shared last year. I paired my new Egg Burlap piece with a wooden bunny from the Etsy Shop by Amy at  While Wearing Heels. I love it!


It is finally beginning to feel like spring here in Maryland, and so this mantel finally feels appropriate. Hopefully we are done with the snow. Enjoy your day!

Easter Egg Hunt Treat Bags

I've invited some friends over for an Easter egg hunt in a few weeks. I wanted to make some treat bags for the kids on a budget. I found a package of four bags for a dollar at the Dollar Tree. They are called felt bags, however, they are not really felt at all.   You can find them in the arts and crafts section there.  Then I took a cookie cutter I had and traced out some bunny heads on fabric. Then I used some adhesive to attach them to the bags.  
So far I have the bag filled with the a little foam bunny or chick kit that I found at Joann Fabrics for a dollar each. I'm sure I'll be able to find some other goodies for the bag.  You could even use them instead of baskets during an egg hunt.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lemonade Bottle Bunny

I made this bunny jar from a lemonade bottle I had bought at Whole Foods last week. I simply used some Martha Stewart multi surface paint and painted the inside of the jar. I used some pipe cleaners, scrapbook paper, a small pink pom and and marker to create the bunny.  It's going to be the perfect addition to the spring mantel I'm working on right now. I was inspired by this Halloween Pin.  


It was a quick project done in the first 10 minutes of nap time. Can't beat that. Thanks for stopping by!

Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Flag


I found a super cute flag on the Pottery Barn site a few weeks ago.  I show the version I was inspired from below. My version was $4 compared to the $39 PB price tag.  I simply used a burlap sack, painted a bunny in some leftover black paint and then used my Silhouette for the first time to create some lettering for the sack.  I plan on putting this up on a flag pole when Easter time rolls around.  I just used some adhesive at the top to make a fold at the top to place a flag pole through it. Wynn helped me paint the bunny on the sack and I tried to let it look a little distressed by allowing some of the paint to be a little lighter in some areas. 



Thanks so much for stopping by!
