Furry Easter Bunny Pillow

Bunnies are everywhere right now and we are getting ready for Easter. The porch has nothing. I have been so excited about decorating inside that the outside has been forgotten.  Just a little vignette is all I wanted and I think it is perfect for the adults and the kids. It was just the right amount of cuteness for some Easter outdoor decor.

I bought some supplies to make a pillow and Easter Decoration.

I love the fuzzy pillows that are all the rage right now. When I saw it I thought it looked like it was the fur of a bunny which led to my idea of making a bunny pillow. The silk flowers I bought had a fuzzy stem too. I decided it would be perfect to bend and make into ears for my pillow. I bent them to shape and wired them together.

I glued the bloom to the pillow for eyes and let the stem ears stick out above.

I found some stuffed pillow tops for mason jars that are used to make pin cushions. I used pipe cleaners for whiskers. Then turned the cushion upside down for the nose and glue it on. 

Last but not least I put a bow tie under the nose and he was complete!

I placed him on the porch swing with the other pillows.

 He has the most precious look on his face.

I placed a plant pot upside down that I decorated with colored ribbon. It looked like an Easter egg. This became his perch.

I found this large pink flower that I attached between the ears of the bunny to shade him from the sun. 

We are ready for the Easter egg hunt now. The porch is not forgotten anymore. It is a happy seating area to watch when all the kids go search for their goodies. The Easter outdoor decor is already a hit with the neighbors.

So happy spring has finally arrived.

Happy Easter!!

Flower Covered Pumpkins

Fall is in the air! It is actually cool here this morning. Wet and dreary! Not the part of Fall I like!
I am much more about the colors with the sun shining and a blue sky!


If you saw my post yesterday I made a Pumpkin Topiary. Using the same pumpkins I created a floral one. 

I think you are going to like these! They are simple and affordable. Let's get ready to start.


Materials


1 pumpkin (dollar store)
7 sprigs of silk flowers (dollar store) I used small mums
hot glue
pumpkin stem or something like one

 

start with your pumpkin and silks

pull flower heads off stem and push into pumpkin use glue to secure

I alternated two colors of flowers yellow and orange after I started I decided to make rows of the yellow to look like the lines of the pumpkin and then filled in with the orange

I then turned it upside down to finish the bottom

This is how it should look when done! PROBLEM: Stem is hidden!

You can use an old pumpkin stem to attach or a twig.

I used this.....

I know I am weird!

 

I cut the stem of a red pepper!

Hot glued it to the top. I couldn't find any pumpkins yet so this had to do.

I like the look!

 

Another item for my mantle! This would make a great centerpiece too!

 

Don't you just love the stem!

Pin It

Another inexpensive beauty! Can be enjoyed year after year!
