Mr. Chocolate now gets why I stop at different Dollar Tree locations. (And yes, I saw where they're closing stores!). We were out and about the other day and there was one next to a place we were going so of course I had to stop and I found some things I hadn't seen at other stores like these thicker "wood" eggs and Buffalo check bunnies! This idea instantly popped into my head.
Supplies
- Dollar Tree Wood Egg
- Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Bunny Garland
- Dollar Tree Mini Wood Blocks
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue
- Ribbon
- Acrylic Craft Paint
- Coordinating Ribbon
The bunny garland would be cute as a garland but I already had this idea in my head. I painted the top of the eggs and left the sides bare.
It only took one coat but I let it dry overnight. I took two of the bunnies off of the twine and replaced it with coordinated ribbon.
I pulled the ribbon through the holes from the back, tied a square knot, then trimmed the ends as shown. I had some mini-wood blocks in my stash that I used to create depth to glue the bunnies to the eggs.
Easy Peasy Dollar Treesy! But what to do with the remaining bunny garland? I decided that the remaining four would make two cute 3-D bunnies.
I had these mini pom poms in my stash and went with the light turquoise ones to cover the holes from the twine. Then I glued two more of the wood blocks to the back and attached another bunny to the blocks.
Be careful to make sure the bottoms are even so they'll stand up.
