Ready or not Easter is right around the corner. I was so happy to find this adorable Easter embellishment on the Papered Cottage blog. How perfect for adding to a gift bag, Easter basket, scrapbook page, card, or as a place setting marker.
For this project, Shellye McDaniel used Kraft Outlet’s Brown Kraft Tag, Small Glassine Bag, Precut Chipboard, Blue Baker’s Twine and Tiny Wooden Clothespin.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- For the shapes, use a 1″ and 1.5″ circle punch and heart punch to create the bunny.
- For the ears, just cut the heart in half.
- Folding a small piece of patterned paper in half, hand-cut a couple of shabby hearts or use a folk heart punch.
- To create an easy pennant banner, use a star punch to create the fish tail.
- Using the embossed swiss dot precut chipboard as the background for the bunny, wrap baker’s twine around chipboard a couple of times and tie a bow.
- Machine stitch to patterned paper and glue to front of glassine bag.
- Glue a small white pom pom in place to create the bunny’s cotton tail and a rhinestone accent for the eyes and nose.
- Then tie a piece of ribbon through the kraft tag and clip on the hearts with a tiny wooden clothespin.
What a perfect little project for our treasured scraps. We all have scraps of our favorite patterned papers.
How cute would this set be in pinks or yellows?
