Crafting with Pom Poms and Rick Rack
It’s the second Tuesday of the month, so it’s time for a DIY challenge with The Handcrafted Society!
If you’re new here and not familiar with The Handcrafted Society, here’s a little info.
We are a group of blogging friends who meet monthly to share creations centered around a specific theme or craft medium.
April’s goal was to create something using pom poms or rickrack.
This project was such a fun opportunity to get creative!
For my DIY project, I made adorable yarn and twine-wrapped bunny eggs with fluffy pom pom tails and then created a cute stand with rickrack to display them.
I’m so excited to show you how easy these are to make!
And don’t forget to “hop over” to the other blogs linked at the end of this post to see what everyone else crafted!
Steps to make DIY Bunny Eggs
Gather materials
Gather the following materials to make the eggs:
- Bunny eggs- one bag from Dollar Tree contains eight eggs
- Pom Pom kit- Dollar Tree
- Yarn – two colors – Hobby Lobby
- Twine – Walmart
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Finger protectors
- Scissors
- Paint- optional- I used FolkArt in Vintage White
Cover the bunny
- Start at the bottom of the egg and glue the yarn/twine to the center.
- Wrap the yarn/twine around the egg, securing it with hot glue.
- Once you reach an ear, wrap it entirely before moving to the second ear.
- I thought the ears would look better if they were a little longer, so I made a couple of extra loops on the top.
Note: I used thick pink yarn and twine and quickly covered the eggs. However, the white yarn was thin, and the bunny face and pink ears showed through, so I decided to paint them before I glued the yarn.
Attach the pom pom tail
- Use hot glue to adhere a pom pom to the back of the bunny. Be careful when working with hot glue, as it can cause burns. We recommend using silicone finger protectors for added safety.
- At this stage, you can leave your bunny as is or proceed to make a stand for display.
Make a stand for the bunnies
Gather materials
Gather the following materials to make a stand:
- Four 16 X 2-inch craft wood pieces – Dollar Tree
- Saw
- Clamps
- Wood glue
- Wax paper
- Paint – I used FolkArt in Linen Toile
- Rickrack – Hobby Lobby 1/2 inch by 3 yards in Ivory
Assemble the stand
- Protect your work surface with wax paper.
- Remove the stickers from the four craft wood pieces and lay one on your desk.
- Place a piece of wood on each side of it and lightly clamp them together.
- Take the fourth piece of wood and place it on the end.
- Use a pencil to mark where to cut it.
- Cut the two end pieces with a saw.
- Use wood glue to attach the pieces and tighten the clamps.
- Let dry overnight.
Paint craft wood
If desired, paint the craft wood in a color that complements your bunnies.
Decorate with RickRack
Add rickrack trim around the stand with hot glue for a decorative touch.
Display bunny eggs
Now for the fun part, displaying these adorable bunny eggs!
Fill a basket with moss, faux grass, or paper filler and arrange the bunnies inside!
Line them up on a mantel or shelf!
Or attach them to a stand and display them anywhere in your home!
