Hello friends! Boy, do I have a simple, yet beautiful spring decor tutorial to share with you today! This DIY framed bunny and Easter egg can be customized to fit your spring decor, and they will cost you about $3 each. Amazing, right?! Let’s get started.
If you missed last month’s challenge, you can see my spring chunky wreath tutorial here.
DIY Framed Bunny Supplies:
- beveled edge wood bunny and/or egg
- 5×7 frame(s)
- scissors and/or a paper slicer
- Quick Grip
- hot glue gun and glue
- 2 different spring patterned pieces of cardstock
- white chalk paint
- paint brush
- sandpaper
I have been saving a broken 5×7 frame for a while. Since I was making my DIY framed bunny for our Sustainable Craft Challenge, I thought what better time to use it? What would’ve gone into the trash, was saved by today’s challenge!
The Dollar Tree frames have a tendency to come apart at the corners. I added Beacon Quick Grip to the broken corner, then held it together while it dried.
For this project I used white chalk paint. It works better than acrylic paint on the shiny frame surface.
To make my framed bunny and Easter egg even more sustainable, I used scrap pieces of cardstock that I had leftover from other projects. I save all of my scraps if I feel like they’re big enough for anything lol!
Place the frame’s glass on the back of your spring patterned cardstock and trace it. Use scissors or a paper trimmer to cut it.
Brush a layer of Mod Podge on the top of the wood bunny then place the bunny on it.
Add Quick Grip to the inside edge of the 5×7 frame and place the cardstock in it.
That’s it! Your DIY framed bunny and Easter egg is ready to display!
I absolutely love the way these turned out. They match my family bunny butt sign and my spring decor blocks. You can customize your sign to fit your home, and if you change up your decor next year, you can change these with ease!
