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.

Easter Bagalope Tutorial~

Supplies: Legal Size Envelope, Stamp Set, Ink, Ribbon, Craft Glue, 3-D Dots, Black Marker, White Marker, Scissors, Pom Pom and a Tape Runner.

Punches: 3/4 x 1 1/2″ Oval, 1 1/4×2″ Oval, 1 1/2″ Circle, 3/4″ Circle, 1/4″ Circle, 1/8″ Circle and a Small Flower.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
