Hello Friends,
For today’s DIY craft idea, I am giving a Dollar Tree plush bunny a cute makeover. And, best of all, no sewing involved.
I’ve seen other crafters do amazing things with the DT bunnies; sew sweet little jackets or dresses, create hats, add florals, even add bunny slippers. There are so many ideas and so many creative people out there.
So, this is my version of the DT bunny makeover. I’m not really a seamstress, so I kept it simple, using only a glue gun to secure any embellishments. I hope you like it.
Supply list
- Dollar Tree plush bunny
- wide black and white ribbon
- narrow black and white ribbon
- small floral embellishment
- one medium size floral
- scissors
- glue gun
After removing the tags from the bunny, I cut out ears and feet from the black and white ribbon.
For the feet, I just traced around them and cut. It was a little trickier to cut out the ribbon pieces for the ears. I still wanted a little pink to show, so I made sure to cut them smaller than the original ear.
I hot glued the ears on first, using the smallest amount of hot glue around the perimeter of the ears. And leaving an outline of pink around the black and white ribbon.
Next up, I hot glued a few small floral and foliage embellishments at the base of the ears.
The feet were covered next using hot glue to add the black and white ribbon pieces.
I then glued the two bunny hands together, and added a single flower tied with a narrow black and white bow. I secured the flower in place with additional hot glue.
And BAM, I had myself a super CUTE bunny! A perfect decor piece for my home this year!
I really LOVE how this bunny makeover turned out. I honestly couldn’t be happier! It kinda has a MacKenzie Childs vibe. Displaying it with other black and white decor pieces, looks so GOOD!
I hope I’ve inspired you to give this idea a try!
Until next time…
