Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday! This is a last-minute craft, done yesterday morning. I picked up the papier mache bunny for 1.00 at the thrift on Friday and was inspired by Martha's show from the other day. I simply painted him with a few coats of acrylic paint, brushed on Mod Podge and coated him with iridescent glitter. I added a bow made from vintage satin ribbon and an organdy ribbon rose(which you can't see because they're on his back). Pretty darn cute for a buck and a few minutes' work!I dyed more pipe cleaners last night in a last-ditch effort to get some chickies and baskets done but for some reason the yellow dye didn't take so they turned out a sickly, pale yellow. Whatever. I think I am officially over this project and ready for something new. Now, what I am going to do with the remaining 250 white pipe cleaners I bought? Hmmm.
Bummer about the yellow dye. The bunny is cute though!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your pipe cleaners would like to join mine in a journey across America? LOL
I'm starting to think you and I have the same Martha addiction. I got the great idea to make those chocolate eggs made from blown out eggshells.... ya... not such a great idea! haha
ReplyDeleteBUt I love your bunny! Hope you had a great Easter.
Theirs always reindeer pencil candy cane thingys I remember from way back when :)....love the bunny though, and your right, well worth the couple of dollars and a few minutes of your time.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day with your family!
