Three Bunny Rustic Farmhouse - Welcome Sign for Spring

 Hi Friends, 

I finished another Spring/Easter craft project to add to my Spring décor. I had notice a similar sign over at Priscilla's Spring tour.  Here is my attempt to recreate the bunny welcome sign

 I used a scrap of black form board I had and drew out a ribbon for the welcome sign the bunnies are holding, painted it gray with some of my Cracker Barrel acrylic paints and wrote Welcome with a black sharpie.

Using a pieces of white form board, I drew out a bunny print and changed up the flopped ears to give the bunnies some character and cut them out of the form board.

.

I have seen black check, gingham, buffalo check all over You-Tube and Pinterest. When I found this fabric at my local quilt shop in January, I purchased 2 yards.  I have been using it in most of my craft projects so far this year.

Once I got the hang of cutting the form board I whipped out a few form board bunny crafts. Find the here

Thank you for stopping by, come again to see what kind of project I'll be doing next.

Farmhouse Riendeer Moss Garden Decor

Diy Reindeer Moss Garden Ball

This year I have seen a few of my favorite you-tubers adding green garden balls to their farmhouse décor, so this year I thought I would try to incorporate more green into my farmhouse décor, using items from Dollar Tree.

I used Aleene's Tacky glue to adhere the moss to the Styrofoam. 

I purchased a couple of reindeer moss packets along with the largest styrofoam balls I could find. 

This ball I added some twine to this moss ball, to give a different look.

Over all, I thought this was a pretty easy project, using Aleene's Tacky glue I did have the drying time so this project took a few days to finish this project.

Thank you for stopping by, let me know if you have tried this craft project.

Until the next time, have a wonderful rest of your day!

Farmhouse Spring-DIY Project for Spring

Terracotta

I decided to use some of the terracotta pots from the Dollar Tree, to add a nice touch to my Easter/spring mantel this year.  

Here on the mantel I put a little yellow chick into a pot that was laying on it's side.  I also use the waverly chalk paint to paint some of the pots, and I stuck a little nest with some tiny bird eggs.

The Dollar Tree sells 3 1/2 inch pot two to a package and 2 1/2 inch pots 3 to a package.  This was a very easy project and I think the pots added a nice touch to my seasonal decor.

I got this idea off of pinterest, go check it out there are so many ideas. 
Let me know what you think of this project.
Thank you so much for stopping by, until next time ahve a wonderful day!

Hopping Windup Bunny Make Over

Bunnies

I put together this little vignette of bunnies hoping down the Bunny Trail on a table in my den.

 These little bunnies are helping themselves to some DIY carrot at the carrot patch.

I found these cute wind-up bunnies at the Dollar Tree and thought I could embellish them to fill in some area of my Easter decor.


I just enlarged the ears of theses bunnies, by using white and pink felt I had in my craft stash. I think the bunnies turned out so cute. 

Today I'm revamping wind-up chicks, the bunnies I did last wee turned out so, so, cute. I decided to 

I just love these little wind-up chicks  from Dollar Tree, but I thought they needed a little jazzing up.  

Thank you for stopping by to check this Dollar Tree wind-up dyi.  

So until next time, have a wonderful rest of your day!

Rustic Farmhouse Bunny Wreath

Hi friends,  Today I'm working on bunnies cut from form board then covered in black and white gingham fabric.

After watching some of my crafty You Tube favorites, I made a trip to the Dollar Tree and found this cute holiday sign for Easter.  I painted them all with white chalk paint by Waverley.

I got out my favorite fabric, black checked gingham.

Traced out the bunny shape from the fabric.

Then glued the fabric to the bunny shape.

I attached the bunnies to a willow wreath form and hung it on my coat closet in the entry.

Added a little yellow ribbon bow and a white button as a accent. This project turned out so cute, that I made another for the the other side of the closet door.

Til the next diy, thank you for stopping by and God Bless You.

Black and White Gingham Bunnies

As you will see, I'm really into the black and white gingham checks this year

Searching for free bunny templates I found this bunny template, printed it out and

traced the bunny shape on to white form board from the "Dollar Tree". 

Using scissor, I cut out the shape from the form board, realized the scissor did not make for a clean edge. I needed an x-acto knife or razor blade to get a clean cut. 

Using a x-acto knife cut out the bunnies from the form board.


 Using my new favorite black and white gingham fabric, traced the bunny shape on to the fabric and cut it out and glued to the form board.

This project turned out so cute, I decided to make two bunnies facing opposite directions for a variety.

First bunny I added a button eye and a white ribbon bow

 the second bunny I added the button eye and a cotton ball tail.

Thank you for stopping by for another "Dollar Tree" DYI

Rustic Country Farmhouse Blue Jeans - Garland DIY

A Project you can do with Wore Out Blue Jeans?

Hi Friends,

Today I thought I would show you how I made this super easy project, using wore out blue jeans. It's really just a rag garland, I'm using blue jeans.

With 3 young grandson around, the pile of wore out jeans gets big!  So with all these wore out jeans, I decided to make a few quick garlands.

I cut off the legs of the jeans and cut off the outside seam and the bottom leg hem to try and make the pieces all the same size.

Then I cut 1/2" strip about 5" long for the rag garland

and measured the length of where I wanted to hang the garland on the hutch.

I used white yarn, I had on hand to the length I needed.

Then sat down with the piece of yarn and the strips of wore out jeans and started tying the strips onto the yarn with a half not.  Pretty easy it took me 30 to 45 minutes per garland,(I made one for the mantel also).

I then decided to cut a few triangles to make a couple of short banners for the vintage window I have placed around my home.

I just many, have know idea how many triangles for the blue jean pile and glued the on to a measured piece of twine, to fit onto the window frame at the entry door.

I want to thank you for stopping by

DYI Bunny chalk board

I've been digging out some of my Easter decor and deciding I need more bunnies, so...

Here is a bunny shape template I found on line. The template was small so I enlarged the bunny shape freehand to get it the size I was looking for.

 I traced the bunny shape onto a piece of white form board, I had left over from another project, and cut this bunny shape, painted it with black chalk paint, and trimmed out the bunny with white chalk paint.

 added a yellow ribbon bow with a button in the center. 

 I placed this bunny on my mantel.  I think it was a nice addition to my Easter decor.

 Thank you for stopping by, Vicki
