Vintage Spring/ Easter on the Mantel

Hi Friends, 

I'm so excited to be showing how I displayed the mantel for Spring/Easter.

 I've been trying to spend at least an hour and a half each evening after work, to pull out another holiday tubs to get my Easter collection put out to show you all.  The month of April is such a busy month for me as a intervention assistant, in a elementary school.

With all of that said, here is how I set up the fireplace mantel for April/Easter this year.

As you know I love collecting vintage cookie cutters,

I looked through my collection and found these three bunnies to display on the mantel.

I've noticed on several social media sites, creators using vintage clip boards in their display and vignettes throughout the home. I have used a clip board a few time in the past with clip art and I just happen to pickup a legal size clip board last month, so I was excited to incorporate I my clip boards into this vignette on the mantel.  

Let me know what you think.

The vintage clip boards and spring print are new this year, on the mantel. I found this sweet daffodil print from Pinterest, 

See the cute little chick egg and a little, I found at a thrift store in North Dakota quite a few years ago, there were two of them a chick or hen egg and a rooster egg. I  thought they were very unique, did have a "made in China" sticker on the bottom.

This little chick print came from Graphic Fairy

Don't you just love the chocolate bunny? There was a Spring craft fair in town last weekend, when I saw this very adorable chocolate bunny, I thought it would be a great addition to my Easter décor, so I purchased two of them for $6.50

The light blue red eyed hen was a thrift find earlier these year, also there are a couple of diy's from last year. A bundle of diy carrots and a diy chalk board bunny also from last year.

The little six egg carton is a new diy this season.

I hope I have given you some inspiration to get out there and thrift shop and maybe even do a couple of simple do-it-yourself project to bring your celebration full circle.

Thank you for stopping by, 

My God Bless You and Your Family, during these uneasy times.

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.

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.
