Bunnies on parade......

I almost forgot about my BUNNIES!

Last year on Martha Stewart's show I watched a tutorial on making these Cotton bunnies.....so, of course I had to give it a try.

I'll bet if you wanted to make some you could find how on her site....

It takes wire, cotton balls or that cotton you use when giving a perm to keep the liquid from running down your face...Do you know that stuff?  Paint, glue, Styrofoam balls, and decorating items.....flowers, eggs, baskets, chicks, netting, lace, whatever suits your fancy. 

 It's really easy once you get it down...it's all about wrapping. 

I was looking in my ~shopping closet~ (that's where I store all my decorator items) and I ran across them.....WHOA... I CAN HAVE MY OWN EASTER EGG HUNT.... I'd forgotten I had them.  What dumb luck! 
  
My favorite place to decorate is my dining room buffet...unfortunately it's right in front of the big window... please bare with me and the  dark photos.  













 My daughter has just given me a suggestion for this years bunnies....
I think I'll HOP into my craft room and start designing these newest BUN~RABS!

Hope you enjoyed seeing the Cotton Tails~~~~~~~

  7. What cute bunnies! And you displayed them so nicely. Looks like once you find something you like, you keep making them. I'm the same way, I keep at it until I have one of every color, or so many I have to give them away!
