Today I wanted to show you the cutest craft that uses this Dollar Tree bunny.
 |
| This sweet gal is cute as can be, but I am going to prim her up. |
Lisa of Our Shabby Cottage posted this Spring craft along with other crafts on her Youtube channel a couple of weeks ago, and I immediately became quite smitten. Using hot glue, fabrics, buttons, and lace, I swept up my little bunny and went to town using Lisa's tutorial. Soon my little bunny whom I named Flo, received her bunny makeover .
 |
| The bunny looks quite different after her makeover. |
Flo might not be as fancy or as cute as Lisa's bunny, but I sure enjoyed working on her. If you are interested in watching the video the bunny craft starts at 16.56 minutes.
 |
| I added blush to Flo's cheeks. The whites of her eyes is scraps of cross stitch aida. |
I also have a new Bunny Mini Sampler.
The other day I posted the Mini Tulip Sampler . I was so excited to hear all of the ideas that many of you sent me for more minis. Thank you for the giving me so many fabulous suggestions and for the inspiration. So more minis will be on the way. 🤗
The little mini samplers have a lower case alphabet and a small motif. I try to keep them around the same size which is small. I am making mine into wee pin pillows to put into a dough bowl.
I use yarn that I have in my stash as trim. I just twist it and whip stitch it to the seam around the pillow.

Oh Melisa the bunny sampler is so cute. Bunnies are one of my most favorite things to decorate with. I have some I leave out all year. I plan on printing this out and start stitching it right away. Can't wait to see your bunny parade after work. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDelete(Little Penpen) I love what you did to make Flo your bunny! So cute! Another cute stitch for us, too! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is darling! Sure wish my Dollar Tree carried something like that! Of course, if I made one, the grands would fight over who gets it. That would mean I'd have to make at least 4. LOL! Thank you for your new embroidery patterns - really cute! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet bunnies! If my mother-in-law was alive, I'd make her one of your bunny cross stitch pieces. She was a bunny/rabbit collector of dishes, boxes, stitched pieces - you name it, she had it!
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny make over, very cute. Lots of beautiful things to stitch. I may have to see if I have any cross stitch cloth in my stash, it's getting hard to resist the cuteness!
ReplyDeleteYou must have known that I'm just about finished with the Mini Tulip sampler and will need something new to stitch on, Melisa! Love this new bunny one. But first I might need to stitch something for St. Patrick's Day. It will be a tough choice! Thanks for all the fun ideas to keep us creating!
ReplyDeleteFlo looks fabulous. So adorable! Your Mini Bunny Sampler is darling. Well done, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteThe bunny sampler is just as cute as can be. Flo sure got gussied up. She's ready for the Spring Fling!

ReplyDeleteHello again,
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is so nice of you to post the SPRING freebie again! Thank you for telling me/us about the saltbox houses, that is so interesting!
And now you are busy working on Bunnies, wow, do you have enough hours in the day, guess not....
I am going to make a mug of tea, both to drink as well as to dye my stiching cloth a bit darker so the white bits/bunny tail show up nicely! thanks again, and happy stitching! Nicoline
So much Spring goodness! I love the S-P-R-🐇-N-G stitch! It is one of my favorites. Plus, a new doodle AND bunny sampler! You are too good! Flo looks so pretty with her new eyes and fashion accents. I really need to get my sampler done and framed. Can't wait to see what the blue dress becomes. Thank you so much, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteYour bunny is so cute, Melisa--thank you for the link to the tutorial, too! Love your latest little spring sampler, too--thank you! I think my bunnies are going to be hopping out this weekend--can't wait to see them again :) Enjoy your day ♥
ReplyDeleteYour Dollar Tree bunny is adorable, Melisa! Thanks for the new sticheries!! Have a great rest of your week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMelisa, Flo is stinkin adorable. She turned out so cute. Love your embroidery doodle also. Going to check out your other post. I’m almost finished with Spring and then tulip mini sampler is next. You have a great day 🤗❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the Spring pattern. How gracious of you to respond so quickly. Flo is very cute and fits right in with your Spring theme. I’m loving the mini samplers and the bunny sampler is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Melisa. Would you mind telling me what colors of floss you used for the bunny and tulip samplers. I am not good at picking out colors. Thank you!
