Video tutorial
Materials:
- One bunny with flowers plaque (size: 4.13" x 6.45" x 0.2")
- Hot glue
- Craft moss
- White paint marker
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Mod Podge
- Decorative tissue paper
- Scissors
Step One: Adding Acrylic Paint to the Bunny Head
Begin by applying acrylic paint to the bunny head plaque. I chose brown paint for my bunny. I added a bit of water to thin the paint, ensuring it wouldn’t go on too thick. When applying the paint, focus on the outer edges and make those areas darker. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Step Two: Adding Decorative Tissue Paper and Mod Podge
This step is optional, but I enjoy incorporating decorative paper into my projects. I have a beautiful floral tissue paper that I love to use. Using a paintbrush, I applied a thin layer of Mod Podge to the inner section of the bunny head plaque. Then, I cut a piece of tissue paper and placed it over the Mod Podge, smoothing any creases. After that, I applied a second layer of Mod Podge over the tissue paper and used my heating tool to speed up the drying process. Use a craft knife to cut away any excess tissue paper.
Step Three: Painting the Flowers
Next, I decided to paint the flowers. I selected light pink and purple for the flowers, and a green mixed with white for the leaves.
Step Four: Outlining with a Paint Marker
I outlined the flowers with a white paint marker and added outlines to some areas on the tissue paper.
Final Step: Adding Craft Moss
I added a thin layer of craft moss over the painted flowers to complete the project and included one paper flower.
I am thrilled with how this craft turned out, and it looks fantastic displayed alongside my other Spring and Easter decorations. Thank you for joining me in this creative process! If you create your own version, please let me know—I would love to see it.

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him. I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one. Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my acrylic paints and started...
Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Video tutorial Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign. Using a small, pointed-tip brush, I carefully reached all the tiny areas around the leaves and buds. I applied three coats of black paint, drying each layer with my heat tool. This step creates a clean, even surface and helps the top colors stand out beautifully. Next, I used a light green paint t...
