How To Make Bunny Napkin Rings {tutorial}

This is a complete tutorial about how to make my burlap bunnies napkin rings.

 It is another Pier 1 knock-off that came out adorable and easy. I have knocked off Pier 1 before with my  Pier 1 Pumpkins. This project was just as fun.  I am so glad to be sharing it with you!

This project didn't cost me a dime since I used scraps that I had.

I started with a cardboard roll from wrapping paper. You can use a toilet paper roll but this was sturdier.

I measured 2" on the tube for each napkin ring and cut it

Don't worry about perfect edges because this will be covered

Cut strips of burlap around 21/2" wide and measure around the tube you are using

glue down seam....I used hot glue

Take scissors and cut slits around burlap and stop at cardboard tube

This will allow you to wrap burlap to inside and glue

It should look like this

Cut 2 ear shapes out of burlap to desired height 

Mine was 21/2" long ..You can always adjust it if it is too long

Now pinch the bottom of burlap and glue to the front side of burlap covered tube

The burlap is stiff enough to stand the ears straight up. You can adjust when dry.

Cut frayed ends of fabric and glue the rest down with the ears

Note: Make sure both ears are glued center and the roll sits with out rolling over. You want it balanced.

Now make the rest of them to complete your tablescape

Told you it was easy!

Pier 1 Witchy Legs

By now you know I shop in Pier 1. I love the seasonal things they sell. I have been inspired by them from time to time, to recreate some of the things I have seen. Like the Chicken coop at Easter and the Pumpkin I just made last week. I do spend my money there also! I saw these witchy legs and knew I had to make a project out of them. They are made to put on the legs of tables and chairs. I wanted to do something different and since I am getting ready for Halloween in my home I thought this was a cute idea.

 

I bought two of these and stuffed them with newspaper to give it the volume it needed to stand up.

I found an old champagne bucket and filled it with newspaper and turned the legs upside down and place inside.

I added some fall seed pods to the top to hide the paper. That's it! That simple!

 

My favorite part are the vintage characters with that GRIN!

 

It is like they were being mischievous!

I think this would look good in and urn on a porch too! You could make your own out of orange and black tights and witchy shoes! Anyway you do it I think it adds a little humor to your decor!

And .....this is my new space!

I have several things you have seen before still there and I few different. One is that adorable owl!!!

More on that later!

Happy Monday!
