Moss Covered Bunny / Dollar Tree Re-make

 

 I found this sweet little BUNNY at the

Dollar Tree a couple days ago.

He was white and covered with a chenille sort of ribbon.

Cute but I thought, I could change him up a bit.

 Well completely....

 

 

 

 Under the ribbon was this great sort of skeleton.
The ribbon came right off in one piece. No glue.
( I plan to keep the chenille for another project.)

 

 

 

I don't feel bad about taking it apart. For $1.00, I  got a great base for my project.

 

 If you don't have a Dollar Tree near you, I have seen the paper mache bunny forms

and that would work just fine.

 

I also purchased moss at the Dollar Tree.

 

                                                ( I only used 1/8 of the bag of moss )

 

and  24'' of jute

 

Hair spray as a fixative when completed (opt.)

 

 

I used a tray to control my mess, the moss gets a little bit crazy !

 

Warm up that glue gun !

 

 

I started at the top of the head and worked down the spine.

CAREFUL not to burn yourself.

 

Give a little squeeze to shape.

 

Just keep going and fill in where you need to and

 

 

trim with scissors. If you see spaces add more moss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tie a piece of jute or ribbon if you prefer around your Bunny's neck.

 

Give a light  covering of Hair Spray, this is optional.

 

 

I hope this has inspired you to look at some of the items at the dollar/craft stores a little differently.

The wreaths and some other holiday shapes work well as a base for a completely changed item for your home and décor.

 

Thank you ! xoLisaS
