Time to learn all about my super simple rustic peeps bunny garland. It is on my spring {Easter} mantle which you can read all about here in case you missed it. I love the shape of the peeps bunny. But I really wanted a rustic touch. I came up with this super simple craft project that anyone can tackle. You probably have all of the supplies you need to make your own version on hand.
The pattern I used came from Petite Debutant. I blew it up some to get the size I wanted. Then I cut 5 of the bunnies from burlap. Now nothing is worse than fraying burlap. So I dosed them with Mod Podge all around the edges. Set these aside to dry.
I wanted a spring material on top of the burlap. So I went hunting in my fabric stash. I came up with a shirt. Yes a shirt! I no longer liked the shirt itself but the pinstriped pink fabric I loved. So I kept the shirt in my scraps bin. I cut 5 bunnies from the shirt as well. Try digging in your scrap bin for fabric for this craft. You might be surprised at what you find!
I just used hot glue to put the pink bunnies on the burlap. You can sew them if you feel like it. I was in the mood for a quick and easy craft though. Allow everything to dry before hanging.
I then just added twine to my frame and hung the bunnies using rustic clothespins. So super simple!

April 9, 2012 at 9:06 amOk. I will probally be lynched but I will go ahead and say it. “I HATE PEEPS!”. I just can’t stand the way these little things taste. But I will admit I do love how they look. And yours are they first ones I’ve seen that I actually will make! Great job.
