Easter Bunny Candy Dish

A few years ago we made these adorable Easter Bunny Candy Dishes at ladies craft night.  

Supplies Needed:
- 4" Clay Pot

- 6" Clay Pot Saucer

- Acrylic Paint

- Paint Brushes

- Foam craft sheets in white and pink

- Straw Hats (we ordered these off of eBay because we needed to buy 50, but you can also purchase them at Michael's if you only need a few)

- Embellishments for the hat like flowers and ribbon

- Glue gun

How To:

- Paint your clay pot and saucer.  We chose to paint ours white and then accented with pink stripes.

- Paint on a bunny face.  Some ladies found it easier to use a sharpie to draw on the face for better precision and a neater look.  We took a very small amount of pink paint and lightly smeared it on our finger and then very gently applied it to the cheeks of the bunny face.  You can also use a q-tip and use some dry paint or blush.

- Glue on the straw hat and add any embellishments to the hat you'd like.

- Cut out the ears from the white craft foam and the inner part of the ears with the pink craft foam.Glue the ears behind the hat to the back of the clay pot.

- Fill with jelly beans or your favorite candy and enjoy!

Fall Hanging Decor Signs

At our October 2013 craft night we made these cute fall hanging signs!  One of my favorite things about craft night is seeing all the creativity come out from the ladies who attend.  I wish we had taken some pictures of the ladies' finished products!  To prepare for this one, we precut the F-A-L-L letters out of 12x12 sparkly paper in 4 different shades of brown and gold.  The ladies could pick the color of letters they wanted after they picked their coordinating background papers.  We used the Cricut to cut out the letters and cut the letters 4" tall.  You can use any kind of cardboard bar coaster you can find since you are covering up the coaster with paper.  Since this was a church event, I chose to not use coasters from a bar and instead ordered plain 4" white coasters off of Amazon.  We had a variety of 3/4" wide organza ribbon in different fall colors that ladies could pick from.  Here are the two we made as an example to show when we advertised this craft night:

Supplies Needed:

- 4" cardboard coasters
- Letter cut outs for F-A-L-L
- Pattered paper
- Glue or tape runner
- Hole punch
- Ribbon
- Embellishments (we used paper leaves, flowers, buttons, etc.)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Glue gun

How To:

 1. Pick out the paper you'd like to use for each coaster.  Flip your paper over and trace your coaster onto each paper.  Cut out each piece.

 2. Glue down your paper to the coasters with your tape runner or glue. Put them in the order you'd like them to be in and the glue down your F-A-L-L letters.

 

3. Take your hole punch and punch holes in all four corners of the letter F, A and the first L. ONLY PUNCH HOLES IN THE TOP OF THE LAST LETTER L.  Don't forget to line up your holes evenly on each coaster.  Tip: depending on how good of a single hole puncher you have, you may find it easier to use a three-hole punch and just eyeball where to punch the hole.  I did this for the ladies at craft night and the three-hole punch went thru the cardboard really easy!

 

4. Take your ribbon and weave all four of your coasters together. Start with the ribbon on the bottom of your last coaster and work your way up, and then down again. Tie knots in the ends of your ribbon to keep it from coming out.

5. Add your embellishments with a glue gun.  Hang on your wall and enjoy!
