Easter Bagalope Tutorial

March 4, 2009 By: Deena Price1 Comment

I found this idea on-line and I thought that this Easter bunny was so cute!  This project is so simple that it would be great for making multiple items or a great project to do with kids!  We made these for my kids school teachers gift.

Seal the envelope and then stamp the front of the envelope.  I used Old Olive ink.

6a0112791a72d428a40112791e3f2928a4-320pi

Make a template that is 1″x4 1/2″ .  Trace around it on the top right and top left corner to make the handle of the Easter basket.

Cut a piece of green (I used old olive) 1″x4 1/8″, then cut grass strips about 3/4 ” deep.

6a0112791a72d428a40112791e400628a4-320pi

Punch out the following shapes:

4 Lt. Pink 3/4″ x 1 1/2 ” ovals – I used Pretty in Pink

2 Lt. Brown 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ ovals – I used Creamy Carmel

4 Lt. Brown 1 1/4″ x 2″ ovals – I used Creamy Carmel

1 Lt. Brown 1 1/2″ Circle – I used Creamy Carmel

2 White 3/4″ Circles – I used white card stock

2 Black 1/4″ Circles – I used Basic Black

1 Pink 1/4″ Circles – I used Pretty in Pink

6 Pink 1/8″ Circles – I used Pretty in Pink

3 small Flowers – I used Barely Banana

6a0112791a72d428a40112791e407728a4-320pi

Adhere grass strip to bottom of envelope.  Draw “paws” on 2 of the small Lt. Brown ovals and adhere them to the envelope.  Adhere the 6 1/8″ Lt. Pink Circles and the 4 Lt. Pink Ovals on the 4 Lg. Lt. Brown Ovals.  Put together the bunny’s face.  Draw the whiskers and eye details on.

Adhere the 2 large bunny paws and the 2 bunny ears to the envelope.

6a0112791a72d428a4011168a9af61970c-320pi

Adhere the bunny’s head with pop up dots.  Tie a ribbon around the base of the handle – I used lt. pink organza ribbon.  I did not have an Easter stamp, so I printed “Hoppy Easter” on my computer and punched it out with the large (1 1/4″ x 2″ oval) and sponged the edges with lt. pink – I used ().  Adhere the small lt. yellow flowers and small pink rhinestones in the center of the flowers.  Adhere the pom pom for the bunny’s tail.

Altered Wooden Alphabet Tutorial

March 3, 2009 By: Deena Price1 Comment

Both of my daughters have birthdays in the Spring and when I saw these fun alphabets, I just had to make them each one!  My daughters are sharing a room while we are living in Boston, so I wanted both of them to match but also to incorporate both of their favorite colors which are pink and blue. 

 

Altered Wooden Alphabet Tutorial~

Supplies:

Wooden Alphabet Letter(s) from Michael’s, Patterned Paper, Mod Podge, Paint Brush, Scissors, Pencil and Decorations.

 6a0112791a72d428a4011168a9a2f4970c-320pi                 

Put your letter right side down on the patterned paper.  Trace around the letter and cut it out.

6a0112791a72d428a40112791e35a728a4-320pi

 

I like to paint the edges of the letter so that it has a finished edge.

6a0112791a72d428a4011168a9a437970c-320pi

Put a generous coat of Mod Podge on the top of the letter.

6a0112791a72d428a4011168a9a4f8970c-320pi

Adhere the patterned paper to the letter and then put a layer of Mod Podge on the patterned paper.

Once the Mod Podge has dried you can decorate the letter.  I used the supplies pictured below.  K&Company Stickers, Prima Flowers, Joann’s Essentials Word Tile and Black Dress Designs Paper Ribbon.

About Me

I am a stay-at-home-mom of 12 wonderful kids! My two oldest sons live on their own. And my 10 youngest (ages, 3, 4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17 & 18) live at home! We have been fortunate enough to be foster parents for the last 5 years. We have adopted 7 kiddos out of foster care and currently have one foster daughter - life is crazy and busy, but we LOVE it! I have been crafting for about 20 years. I started with stamping and crocheting and my hobby has grown from there! I always say, "I haven't met a craft I didn't like!" At this time, I spend the majority of my craft time crocheting because I can crochet in the family room while the kids play! Although I am an extremely busy mom, I spend my evenings creating! I love to make gifts for my family and friends. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you like or what you don't like or what you would like to see more of!
