DIY Faux Fur Yarn Bunny

              

It's always fun making crafts for Easter. One of my favorites is creating bunnies for the holiday as seen here, here, and here. Who doesn't love making cute and adorable bunnies this time of year! There are so many different styles you can create, too! And I came up with an easy one you can make using faux fur yarn. How cool does that sound!

And the best part is using items from your stash to help make it.  Here are some of the materials you probably already have in your stash, like styrofoam and plastic eggs. For this craft, you will need one large styrofoam egg for the body. And one plastic egg cut in half for the feet and one round styrofoam ball for the head.  Plus, you will need cardboard to add to the feet for backing and some for the bunny ears and also to make the arms. All of these items are wrapped in faux fur yarn that I got from Hobby Lobby for 30% off $5.99!  Plus, you will need a few incidentals like googly eyes, pom pom and elastic for the nose, a bit of foam sheet for the inserts on the ears and a cool looking handmade bow ribbon tie. And of course my go-to adhesive, Fabri-Tac fabric glue and a hot glue gun to secure the bunny body together!

Here's how I made this adorable faux fur yarn bunny:  Begin by cutting the plastic egg in half for the feet, adding fabric glue to the edge .  .  .

to place on cardboard for the backing and let dry. Once dry, cut out.

Then add Fabri-Tac glue to the tips (front and back) and .  .  .

begin wrapping the faux fur around one foot until reaching the end. Secure with additional glue and cut off excess yarn. Repeat for the second foot.

Next, begin wrapping the egg shaped styrofoam for the body the same way as the feet.

Adding fabric glue as you wrap .  .  .

until reaching the top.

Then hand draw ears and arms on cardboard and cut out .  .  .

Next, add fabric glue to the ear tips and arms .  .  .

and wrap the same way as wrapping the body and feet.

Create a smaller version of the ears for the insert area, cutting out of foam sheet.

Attach all body pieces together using hot glue. Then, add googly eyes .  .  .

whiskers and 

pom pom for nose.

How cute is this! So adorable as an Easter addition to any decor!

Duck Pulling Cart Waterslide Update

Hello and welcome to our Thrift Store Challenge for the month of March!  Here, a group of creative bloggers come together on the fourth Thursday of each month to share their lovely transformations of a thrift store item. Who doesn't love thrift store upcycle projects - whether it's actually creating one or admiring how an item from a thrift store was transformed!

The Rules:

• Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
• There's no monthly theme.
• There's no budget to stick to.

Meet the Hosts

How many times have you come across an item at the thrift store you know was probably hand painted - and not a very good paint job, at that! Just take a look at this sweet piece I found at the Goodwill for ninety-nine cents. A duck pulling a cart!

Looks like something I might have done with my unsteady hands. I could never paint a straight line or stay within the lines. In fact, I don't like painting at all! Lol! Anyway, I could not resist picking this up at the time - although I've had it for a number of years. Now, with everything that's going on, it's perfect for a spruce up - just in time for Easter! 

The first thing I did after cleaning and washing the dirt and grime off was to sponge on two coats of white chalk paint, letting it dry between coats! The interior was already a nice neutral color that was in good shape so I didn't touch that.

In case you've never heard of waterslide decals, it's an easy way to transfer images and text using a special paper that you place in water and then slide the image onto almost any type of smooth surface.   And the waterslide decal paper comes in clear or white backgrounds and is available to use in inkjet or laserjet printers, too! 

I wanted to put a few flowers around the cart so I found a free image online that I printed out on the glossy side of the waterslide decal paper. Then, I used a clear top to outline the image to cut out.

Once the decal was cut out, placed the decal in a bowl of warm water for about 30 seconds.  

Then dampen the area where the decal is going and take the decal out of the water and place face-up on the spot, sliding the backing out and smoothing the decal out with additional water on fingers.

Let the decal dry naturally for 3-4 hours.

Just perfect to hold Easter treats!

And now for more thrifty goodness!
