Julie from Sum of Their Stories. Every month we bring you a craft with a sustainable twist, like cleaning out our craft stash so as not to purchase any new supplies, reducing waste, or recycling. Our theme this month is spring. Stick around after the post to see what all of the other lovely ladies are sharing this month!

Before I could begin, I needed to fix one of my frames.
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.

Paint the frames & the wood bunny.
For this project I used white chalk paint. It works better than acrylic paint on the shiny frame surface.

Cut cardstock to fit the frame and the wood bunny.
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.

Attach the spring cardstock to the bunny.
Brush a layer of Mod Podge on the top of the wood bunny then place the bunny on it.

Finally, assemble your DIY framed bunny.
Add Quick Grip to the inside edge of the 5×7 frame and place the cardstock in it.
