Burlap Bunny Embroidery Hoop

Anyone else obsessed with embroidery hoops? So simple to use and I think very versatile. They have a very vintage feel to them but yet updated with the right art inside of them.
 
 


The Easter banner is from Kirkland's and the pom pom garland I made with jute twin and pom poms from Target Dollar Spot as well. 


 
I found a template of a bunny silhouette that I liked, printed it and cut it out.
I traced the silhouette with chalk and didn't worry about being exact with the tracing. Its difficult to be exact with burlap. 



I used a 10 in. embroidery hoop to hang it. It was a little bit of a challenge to get it to fit! I had to close the top part slightly and stretch/squeeze the outer part to get it to go on and close it as tight as possible. 

 
I painted the bunny in with white paint, let it dry and put a bow on him.
 

 
I used pink jute twine that I picked up at Target Dollar Spot for the little bow on the neck.
Loving the Dollar Spot at Target this year!!
 
 
 
 


Come back next week for the tutorial on how to make that tissue paper tassel hanging above him:)

DIY Fabric Garland {$0 Cost}

We recently through out a leather sofa that had seen better days. The leather had gotten so bad that I put a couch cover on it and it got us another year out of it....when the new puppy thought the couch cover looked yummy and chewed several holes in it.
 
 
I was about to trash the couch cover too when I thought the fabric had some good spots left to it.
 
 
Fabric Garland it was!
 
 
I had some old pajama pants that ripped.....and I stashed away thinking the same thing.....could be useful some day. 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
Sorry for the bad "during" photos. I have gotten really lazy with the "in progress" shots!
 
Just rip as many pieces of fabric you would like. Once you have the strips fold it in half and bring the loop part from behind your string and pull the two flaps through and pull down. That will attach your fabric pieces in a nice flat way.
 
 
Couch Cover
 
 
 
PJ Pants
 
 
I used the seam of the couch cover to tie all the strands to.
 

 
Love when my vision works!!

 
 
 
Total project cost a big fat $0!!!
 
You don't always need to spend money for something new:)
