Are you guys getting tired of bunnies yet? If you are, just check back Sunday. LeeAnn from MintBasil is going to be my guest with an Irish scone recipe!!! Yum-ers!
Decoupage Bunnies anyone?
If you are NOT tired of bunnies yet... here's another project sharesy! This is something I have always wanted to try but just never have. I decided this would be the perfect opportunity!
I have two subjects for today's post. Ms. Pensive Bunny and Mr. Stubborn Bunny. We'll save the lady until last (we just need to get ole stubborn potato pants out of the way first).
What I used:
ModPodge - Matte-Mat
Beaten up and chipped ceramic bunny & plain brown paper form bunny
Napkins (for the Mr.) and fabric (for the Ms.)
Sponge on a stick thingy
Let's hop right in!
I had an old beaten up ceramic bunny covered in holes (he was a lantern).
I got some cheap napkins at Tuesday Morning.. cream colored with leaves.
I used my rotary cutter and made slices of the napkins.
They were 2-ply - so I removed the white part and saved the pretty / thicker parts.
I slathered ole stubborn holey britches with some mod podge
(is it just me or is that the most impossible thing to say...I always want to call it modge podge).
I layered the thinner white part of the napkins all over him first.
He's rather upset with me here.
I think he was about to go for my throat...
...but I stopped him cold with my sponge sword...and glue...and napkins!!!
MUHAHAHAHAHA
I think it was at this humiliating moment that he decided to change into Stubborn Bunny.
Do you see his fangs coming out???
No wait... THIS was actually the moment he turned on me.
For whatever reason... he did not like being decorated.
With pretty green leaves.
I don't get it.
All I can say...
...is that he had better be glad I didn't cover him in flowers.
Ta da!
I had to balance him on the modge podge
(I don't care what they say... that's what I am calling it from now on)
He was so vicious I had no choice.
Notice how there is not a shred of tutorial here now?
He has an ugly butt...
I just hate that.'
We must do something about it!
This is him doing the groundhog thing.
He's looking AWAY from his shadow.
See what I mean.
Stubborn as Pie.
Let me interrupt my riveting story to bring you a smidge of tutorial.
Once you trace around the hot bunny bottom...
...onto felt.. yeah I know. more felt.
Cut about 2mm inside your line..
It will make an ever-so-lovely felt bottom...
...and cover up all that butt uglyness.
Ok back to the story!
Thus enters...
Ms. Pensive Bunny
Is it just me or does she look a tad on the pensive side here?
Kinda unsure of herself. Scared. Apprehensive. Pensive?
She's checking out the floral motif on her hips...
She knew she should not have had that extra helping of emu scrambled eggs last night.
Get a load of those ears...!!!
shhhh don't tell her I said anything ok!
See what I mean.
Pensive.
She's trying not to look now.
Giving me a bad case of the GIANT ears.
Or cold shoulder if you will...
So what do I go and do?
I show you how much nicer looking her backside is as compared to Mr. Stubborn Britches.
I felted her bottom too.
We all need a little felted bottom in our lives.
Right ladies?
Here is the happy couple.
.or not.
She's still rather upset with me.
She wants to know how she ended up with such a stodgy ole codge.
He on the other hand...
Mr. SPB (Stubborn Pants Bunny)
...is pretty happy.
He ended up with one hot mama.
He's a sucker for a lady with a little hip in her hop.
wow that was bad...I should delete it.
.but I won't.
So are you all tired out from that tutorial. Whew. Now that you know how to make your own decoupage bunnies (or not)... I hope you'll give this a try. It couldn't be any easier. Just make up a story as you are going along and you'll get the hang of it in NO time.
No seriously...
If you want a real tutorial let me know. I am sure I can find something else to cover in fabric!!! Trust me!
