Yes, I had more fun playing with candy holders from Dollar Tree! I almost called these "Velveteen Ribbon Rabbits" but then I thought about trying to say that three times fast without sounding like Elmer Fudd.
Supplies:
- Bunny Shaped Candy Holders (Dollar Tree)
- Waverly No Prep Paint (Ballet Slipper)
- Ceramcoat Glitter Paint (Charm Pink)
- Sponge Applicator
- Velveteen Ribbon
- Self Adhesive Rhinestones and Pearls
- Gold Foil (Non-heat reactive)
Used these candy holder containers from Dollar Tree and the Waverly and Ceramcoat paints. Apply the Waverly paint with a sponge applicator.
Once the containers are covered with the matte paint and it's dry, apply the glitter coat.
I grabbed some gold foil from my stash (this is the kind that's not heat reactive, nor is it gold leaf...this just requires a tacky adhesive). I went over the raised portions of the bunny faces...ears, nose, whiskers.
I lightly dry brushed white paint across the faces, and had some self-adhesive pink pearls and antique gold rhinestones in my embellishments so I used those for the eyes, nose and tongue as shown.
To finish, I grabbed some white velveteen ribbon I picked up at Walmart after Christmas at 75% off and made bows, attached with hot glue as shown, and made hangers from black and gold baker's twine.
I usually wait until something's finished before sharing but I'm showing my Bunny Tree as it evolves. I haven't decided if I'm adding eggs or not, and need a topper, but here it is as it stands now.
