Craft of the Month: Wire Bunny Head Wreath

Hooters,

April’s craft of the month is here, and I’m so pleased with the finished product of my project. I found this beautiful gem on Pinterest (they never disappoint with the endless ideas of DIYs) and could not resist it. Easter is right around the corner, so why not craft a super cute bunny wreath for your front door? The wreath was easy, quick, and cheap to create; most of the supplies were found at my local Dollar Tree! If you would like to accomplish this project, I have listed the supplies and steps below. Of course, the goal is to be creative so make any adjustments to whatever fits your interest.

Supplies Needed:

  • Large Wire/Metal Wreath
  • Burlap
  • Fabric (optional)
  • Jumbo Rope (amount varies by size of wreath- I used 5 from D.T)
  • Flower Stems
  • Floral Garden Greenery
  • Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
  • Scissors
  • Yarn/String

Steps:

  1. Use burlap to cut one circle (using wreath as a template) and two bunny ears (four for firmer ears- preferred)
  2. Use fabric to cut two smaller inner bunny ears
  3. Create hanging hook by tying yarn to wreath
  4. Wrap wreath with jumbo rope until covered completely (tuck and hot glue ending pieces to the back)
  5. Glue burlap circle to the back of wreath
  6. Combine bunny ears and attach to the back of wreath
  7. Place and glue garden greenery at the bottom of wreath
  8. Remove flowers from stem and place on top of greenery
  9. Hang on your door!

Museum of Selfies- Los Angeles, CA

Today we live in a “selfie queen” era. When you see a large variety of your followers’ photos on social media, nine times out of ten, they were taken in selfie-mode. For sure, most of my portraits are because I’m a camera freak and I love capturing memorable moments. When taking selfies you can see exactly what you’re capturing- the lighting, those “popping” angles, if anything is between your teeth, your hair sticking up, and much more. Pretty sure that’s why most prefer selfie-mode.

The Museum of Selfies can be found in the Hollywood tourist area of Los Angeles, California. It is also where the Hollywood Walk of Fame is located. I knew immediately I was going to love this place before I could visit. My sister and I went on a great day because there wasn’t much traffic inside of the museum. Minimum traffic equals extra time to capture the perfect selfie. Haha! We were able to freely explore the museum without other visitors rushing us. Overall, the entire museum is a fun-filled, creative, and cool place, plus it is suitable for all ages to enjoy. My favorite part was the pool filled with emoji balls. It reminded me that I’m still a big kid at heart, and I’m not ashamed to admit that.

Long story short, if you’re ever in Los Angeles and you love taking selfies, add this museum to your itinerary. Be sure to go selfie crazy!
