I had a few of these wood bunny cutouts and decoupaged them with Roycycled Treasures Vintage Wallpaper and Burlap Roses decoupage papers. After finishing this project, it inspired me to dust off my scroll saw and start cutting my own projects again!

Having fun creating Spring home decor with the new release from Redesign with Prima. I thrifted this hanger and upcycled it using the Garden Bunny Tales A3 Decoupage Fiber Paper. I just love this bunny! 🐰

Here is my finished project using the new Redesign with Prima Springtime Bunny mould. I had 3 wood house cutouts and glued them together. I mixed Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paints Flamingo and Cotton to create a coral color for the base and I used Redesign with Prima Eastern Fountain Stick & Style Stencil to embellish the houses. I attached the resin moulds with Tite Bond Quick & Thick Glue and sprayed the entire piece with Krylon Matte Spray.

One of my goals this year is learn new techniques. I recently attended a Redesign with Prima virtual painting class for retailers using the new Springtime Bunny mould. This bunny family is too cute! There are alot of features in this mould, but when applied individually, it is more realistic. I’m just about finished with the details and will apply them to my project.

Some of my favorite projects to work on are upcycling tarnished silver teapots. This teapot was missing its top when I found it, but I found a top that fit, saving it from the landfill. I used all Dixie Belle Paint Company products to create this look.
