Nesting Bunny ~ How To

Nesting Bunny How To
As soon as I saw this picture
on Pinterest I knew I wanted to copy it.
Shelterness

I love the bunny in the nest.
Nesting and filling the nest have been on my mind lately.
Here’s my version…

and here’s how I did it.

What I needed:

I bought the wreaths, bunny, moss and flowers at Hobby Lobby.
All were half price.
I had the silver tray…I love the bowl in my inspiration picture
but I don’t have anything like it and I opted to be thrifty.
Don’t laugh.

I stacked the wreaths on the tray and added moss.
It made a mess but this moss is very cool.
It looks like real grass that’s dried a little bit.
Sort of like the clippings left after your lawn is mowed.

I added the bunny in the center
and nested some eggs in front.

I bunched the flowers together and stuck them
under the grass.
My original plan was to stick them in the wreath
but they were too flimsy.

I tied a little heart charm and some twine
around the bunny’s neck.

That’s it.
Easy peasy.


Thoughts from my friends...
