I saw some adorable Easter gift bags on my last trip to Wal-Mart, but as they always are, they were a little pricy. I took a long look at them, remembered some pretty pastel gift bags I already had, and I decided I could make them. After all, the price isn't the only thing that matters - people love something that you have taken the time to make for them, right?
I had a lot of fun making these "funny bunnies." It took me back to elementary school days with construction paper, glue and crayons. Only the tools are a little more sophisticated now. Back then, adding glitter to something meant Elmer's glue and loose glitter and paper cones for dumping the glitter back in the jar. I've been a messy crafter all my life, really diving in, not afraid to get my hands dirty, so I inevitably ended up with glittter and glue in my hair and on my clothes. Whoever invented Cricut, Xyron, Stickles and similar products have made me a happy girl, indeed! With a whole craft room full of supplies at my disposal now, I still find the simpler projects to often be the most satisfying - and adorable! And so, I give you Bonnie and Benjamin - my funny bunnies.
This project is simple enough that it didn't
need a tutorial, but I thought some of you might enjoy watching the process with some of the techniques from my stamping experience. Besides, I got a shiny new camera Saturday and was dying to take it for a test spin! I'm still working on camera placement and lighting, but this video is decidedly better than the last - and you can watch it in HD!
I hope you enjoy these little critters. I can see them used in SO many ways, so use your imagination and send me your pictures! And as always, a comment is very much appreciated if you download the files.
