Easter Shelf Sitter DIY

You are here: Home / Spring/Easter / Easter Shelf Sitter DIY

Hello Friends,

I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Are you feeling inspired and craftsy today? Then follow along as I share a SUPER cute DIY project created from wooden cut-outs from Target. Many times I feature items from the Dollar Tree in my craft projects, so I thought I would change it up a bit this time. I hope you like it!

Supplies needed

  • bunny and egg wood cut-out shapes from Target
  • two sheets of coordinating scrapbook paper
  • pencil and scissors
  • Mod Podge
  • paint and paintbrush
  • sanding sponge or sandpaper
  • embellishments, ribbon, floral, etc.

Choose two coordinating sheets of scrapbook paper. A 12 X 12 sheet is enough to cover both sides of the cut-out. Both sides of each cut-out will be covered with the scrapbook paper. So the finished project will be reversible. Yay!
Begin by tracing the bunny and egg shapes on the scrapbook paper. Cut out two of each shape.

Next, apply Mod Podge to one side of the bunny and one side of the egg. Attach the paper cut-outs to the corresponding wood shapes. Apply a top coat of Mod Podge and let dry. Repeat the process for the other side of the wood shapes.
Paint the sides of the bunny and egg with a coordinating paint color. (I didn’t get a picture of the painted sides until the finished project.)
(I wanted a POP of color to my very neutral project so I used a paint color called smooth sea glass. I also touched the edges of each shape with a little of the same paint.)

Use a sanding sponge or sandpaper to distress the edges a little.

Here’s a close-up of the distressing on the bunny.

The final step is to add your choice of embellishments to both sides of the bunny and the egg.

And I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out! So dang CUTE!
Pictured above is one side, and pictured below is the reverse.

I just LOVE the extra pop of color when viewed from the side.

Which side do you like best? Comment and let me know.

I hope I’ve inspired you with this Easter DIY craft. It was so FUN to create! See you next time.

Happy Crafting!

Pamela

Meet Pamela, the Creator

Pamela, Creator

Born and raised in rural, Missouri, I'm a wife of 30 years and mother to one adult son.

My interest in all things artsy-craftsy began as a young girl. If there was a craft kit for it, I've probably tried it: paint-by-number, latch-hooking rugs, candle-making, shrinky-dinks, string-art, etc. I loved them all! For many years I was able to express my creativity on-the-job as a florist, and love using silk florals in my home decorating projects.

I'm excited to share my crafting and home decorating ideas with you. I like finding that perfect thrift store item and crafting something new out of it, or giving that old piece of furniture a new life with a fresh coat of paint. I hope my projects will inspire you to get craftsy and create things to help decorate a home you love.

Happy Crafting!
