Time for some crafty fun!
My thoughts jumped right to Spring when January was over
and I have been thinking about ways to bring Spring to my decor
Welcome to the monthly Creative Craft Hop
Thank you Sara from Birdz of a Feather
for being our hostess and keeping us organized!
Welcome friends, readers and visitors from Southern Sunflowers
Today I’m going to show you how to make a sweet bunny canvas
and how to make a carrot out of ribbon
to add to your Spring decor
I had a piece of wood from my craft stash
and a piece of wide orange wired edge ribbon
I played around with folding the ribbon to make a carrot shape
I painted the board with a creamy white paint
Then I secured the ribbon to the board with dots of hot glue
Then I spied this green tissue in a gift box of oranges…
It was perfect for the carrot top!
To give it a more finished look I added orange checks to the sides
A flat square brush makes quick work of adding checks with only 1 stroke
For the Spring bunny I painted a small artist’s canvas a pale blue
I free handed the bunny shape,
If you’re not comfortable free handing the bunny shape
you can draw it on paper,
cut it out and then trace the shape on your canvas
very lightly with a pencil, and then paint it
When the paint was dry, I glued a paper flower on for the tail
and glued a ribbon bow to the neck
I used paint pens to apply dots on the background
Then I decided to add checks on the edges of the bunny canvas too
