As you know, I’m a gal who loves me some color.
Needless to say, I don’t love the pastel colors that most spring and Easter items come in so I have to make my own decor. COLORIZED! Like this Easter bunny canvas.
I definitely had a little fun with color making these elements for my Easter mantle.
First off, the cast iron birds started out looking like this but with a little help from Krylon spray paint even they got a dose of bright color.
I used ColorMaster in Watermelon, Citrus and Blue Ocean Breeze.
To make the canvas I downloaded the super cute Sweet Easter Bunny Set from the Silhouette Store and cut out the bunnies as shown. 1 huge one, 2 large, 2 medium and 2 small. My largest is just a bit over 11 inches tall with the others being around 9.5, 8, 7 and 6.5 inches tall. Give or take.
I had written down my exact measurements but then cleaned off my desk. OOPS!
You’ll also need:
- 15×30″ canvas – I got mine at Jo-Ann”s
- Martha Stewart Crafts Multi-Surface paint – Surf
- 7 fat quarters – also from Jo-Ann’s in bright jelly bean colors
- Wool Yarn – Jo-Ann’s
- PattieWack PomPom Tool – Also seen here Bohemian Pom Pom Bracelet with the PattieWack PomPom Tool
- Mod Podge – Matte finish
- Cover the entire canvas with Martha Stewart Paint and set aside to dry.
- Cut the bunnies according to the above (or desired) measurements on scrapbook paper and use that as a pattern. (I imagine you can cut the bunnies directly on the fabric like you can with a Cricut but I didn’t have any material to stabilize the fabric on hand)
- Adhere the bunnies to the canvas with Mod Podge and let dry.
- Make bunny tails with wool yarn and the Pattie Wack Pom Pom maker leaving a tail on the tie-off thread of 3-4 inches. Trim them so they vary in size.
- Once the canvas and fabric are completely dry – poke a hole where the tails go with an awl.
- Feed the pom pom tie-off thread though the hole and tie a knot. Repeat for each bunny.
That’s it!
I found them! I found my exact measurements for the bunnies so that you can duplicate them in the Silhouette software.
CUTE CUTE CUTE!! Love it Vicki!!
