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!

Craft of the Month: February Love

Button Heart Canvas


Hooters, I bring you the first crafting project of the year! These beautiful hearts were easy to make and took less than an hour to complete. However, time may vary depending on the desired canvas size and placement of buttons. If you would like to accomplish this project, I have listed the supplies and steps below:

Supplies Needed:

  • Canvas Board (Desired size)
  • Fabric or Burlap of Choice (Decorated cardstock paper also works)
  • A Jar of Assorted Buttons
  • Scissors
  • ModPodge (I used the Gloss finish)
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Ribbon
  • Twine (Optional if hanging)

Steps:

  1. Measure and cut choice of fabric to canvas size
  2. Apply ModPodge thoroughly over canvas
  3. Apply measured piece of fabric (be sure to carefully smooth fabric for a clean finished look)
  4. Reapply a thin layer of ModPodge completely over canvas (I did not apply over the burlap)
  5. Allow the canvas to dry for about 10 minutes
  6. Use buttons to create the outside of heart before gluing as guidance for a symmetrical heart
  7. Hot glue buttons in desired areas (Until spaces are covered or until you’re satisfied)
  8. Use ribbon to tie a bow and apply using the hot glue gun
  9. Apply twine to backing if you wish to hang
  10. Gift to someone you love
