But he was looking a little sad when I pulled him out of storage yesterday.
After some consideration, I decided that the little tin from The Dollar Tree was a bit too busy with the messy stamped-on colors.
It just so happened that yesterday was great spray painting weather, and I had a long awaited reunion with Mr. Rustoleum in my backyard. With a little spray paint and some minor adjustments, I think the Easter Bunny is ready to hop his way into Spring!
Just stuck the pick down into some florist's foam (also from The Dollar Tree), and crammed paper into the sides to keep it steady:

Lovely, lovely make-over! Maybe you can add some Easter eggs around the moss for added color :) Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't around last spring and i'm new to your blog! but what a cute idea! i LOVE IT! and it makes me sooo excited for spring! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI love the tin painted white, and I think the burlap looks so cute instead of the ribbon! I love peeps too...I hope the Easter bunny brings me some:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful reunion with Mr. R! I think you made the right call on the spray paint. And isn't it amazing how just a couple of small changes can make a big difference? This looks really cute and very up-to-date. :)
ReplyDeleteMuch better with the burlap ribbon then the organza bow and I like that you painted it white. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCute! I just found my bunny on a stick from last year. I bought him on clearance. He was the last one left so I snatched him up. I think I'm going to copy your idea since right now he's laying on my dining room table doing nothing. :)
ReplyDeleteAck...I finally won something! I never win anything, oh what fun! I'm so excited. Thank you Amanda, thank you Tattered Flower!
ReplyDeleteYou know how when you spray paint, you get that bit of paint on your trigger finger, and it gets kinda sore after a while? Well, you suffered all that just to make the Easter Bunny look good! Of course you're gonna get an extra sumthin in your basket for that! No doubt about it!
ReplyDelete(And the bunny does look rather refreshed, I would say!)
Bunny looks cute! I had some of those same DT tins from last year, which I also painted...I'll have to see if I can dig them out. Though I'm not really gettin' in the spring decorating groove. I did put my spring wreath on the door; that's good, right?
ReplyDeleteYour bunny is so cute. I never did get one last year - darn! It is adorable!
ReplyDeleteXXOO
