Easter Bunnies



Just look at those fuzzy faces! Made in minutes using a faux fur pompom, scraps of fleece, a wooden ball and a white pompom for a tail.


The first thing I did was to comb out the fur, which made an obvious place to glue on a white pompom for a tail.











Then I made ears from scraps of white fleece and colored the centers using makeup I bought at the Dollar Store!





And of course, the ears need to bend, so I dug out some white pipe cleaners (are they still called that?) and slid them inside.








Getting the ears in place was a little tricky because I had to cut holes at the top of the pompom, dig out a little stuffing, then glue the ears into the hole.









But if you're not careful, you can cut across the seam that holds the pompom together, and it will fall apart!  Oopsie!








The final step is to add the wooden nose to the face, and make the bunny come alive!




The pompoms can be a little hard to find, and when you do, they can be expensive. Recently, I found some at Michael's that were over $5.00 each, too much for me! But then went to Hobby Lobby and found them for $1.99! So of course I bought all they had in stock.

I took a basket full of these to a craft show years ago, and they were great sellers. I bet these will be too!

Easter Tree Topper


Every tree needs a topper, so I made the Easter tree topper with a little wooden birdhouse and fluffy yellow chick!

Easter Tree

Valentine's Day is over, so now it's time to make Easter ornaments! I started with these tiny little bunnies from DollarTree.


These cute little bunnies are actually erasers! 









At first I thought I would try to glue a loop to the top of their heads. But then I remembered these wire bead eyepins and thought they might work. 

I snipped a little off so they wouldn't be so long, then shoved them into the top of their heads!







The pink Bakers Twine I found works perfectly for the hangars










And they look pretty cute hanging on the tree.
