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.
I've been loving the little bunnies at The Dollar Tree! They're so cute. This project turned out so cute. :)
