DIY BUNNY SURPRISE BALL

I couldn't help myself. It had to be done. A surprise ball bunny style! They are always a hit and are obviously popular with our family and well, I just love making them. As evidenced here and here. Now make your own bunny surprise ball, will ya?

First, gather your trinkets you want to include. Stickers and bouncy balls are great. A little hint, start with the biggest and bulkiest item and work your way out to the smallest and thinnest item. It makes for a smoother ball in the end.

Cut some strips of crepe paper. I usually do about 1/2 inch strips. They are just easier to work with and make the ball smoother on the outside. Tape the strips and start wrapping! You will need to use tape to keep the strips in place and to start a new strip. I suggest clear tape, but some fun washi tape could look cute too!

 Cut out some relatively the same size bunny ears.

 Attach the ears in the back with either tape or glue.

 Using some tissue paper or crepe paper, cut out and glue on the little face.

Do you see now how I couldn't resist? 

EASTER TREAT BAG DOWNLOADS

Keeping on with the downloads lately (it's amazing how owning a printer can change your projects) I decided to make a few printable treat bags for Easter. Fill them with candy, popcorn, pretzels or carrots (bunny food) and use them as basket fillers or party favors, or what have you. You may recognize this little guy. I felt it a shame not to use him again. My bags were 4.75 inches x 6.2 inches so when I printed them out I adjusted the document size accordingly. So you will need to do the same depending on the size of bags you decide to print out. Also, keep in mind that the bag will feed into printers differently. I had to feed my bags in the open side first and it worked out fine for me, but some printers can be fickle. You may need to flip the images to be able to print them out with the closed end of the bag first. Make sense? Good!

Here are the downloads! Enjoy!

Happy Easter

WE LOVE: OUR EGGS

Besides the tattooed eggs, we have been having fun taking our egg decorating up a few notches beyond the normal dying. With a little bit of tape, paint, glitter, and a pencil eraser, we went to town and love the outcome. These are a few of my personal favorites. We were going to dye them and then add embellishments, but why mess with the perfection that is white? Apparently I am fond of the mint + peach combo these days. It's pretty, right?

DIY EASTER HUNT EGGS

One of my favorite parts of Easter is the egg hunt! Remember how we've been kind of obsessed with temporary tattoos? Well, I thought I would make some special eggs with little messages for the kids to enjoy. They are basically temporary tattoos for eggs. Sweet, right? I thought it would be fun to have some fun phrases as well as the traditional "happy easter" on them. My favorite ones are "you found me" and "you crack me up". To make your own, just download the templates and print them off onto tattoo paper. I used this paper and they turned out perfectly! Follow the instructions on the paper (minus the silhouette cutter - unless you are super fancy like that), cut them out and put them on! You can download the templates here and here for personal use and make sure you have a blast with them. Otherwise, what's the point?

If you like these, you should check out these fancy ones Jordan made. So pretty! We had a blast making our eggs and can't wait to use them. Happy hunting!

DIY BUNNY TOTE

I made this tote for Elliott to use this Easter in the various egg hunts that we will inevitably be attending. I love egg hunts! I thought it would be easier for him to handle while scooping up eggs. I made the bunny face as an iron on transfer and loved it so much, I thought I would share! All you have to do is download the face here, print it out onto iron transfer paper and follow the instructions. So easy! I used this tote bag and it seems like the perfect size for a little one. I do have one tip though, try and cut as close to the face as possible to avoid too much of that clear paper from showing. Other than that, have fun! How can you say no to that face? You can't. 

Download it here! You can put it on a tote, a shirt, or whatever else you feel needs a bunny face on it.

Please feel free to use this download till your hearts content, but for personal use only. Thank you!
