I love a good Dollar Store project, don't you?! 😊 I mean it's like a little slice of heaven... where else can you shop where everything is a dollar?? Not even the thrift store, that's where!

If you haven't checked out your local Dollar Store lately you really should! I made a great haul the other day when I stopped in!

This project started out with a little cardboard bunny sign that I found a couple of years ago there. I actually think they still have them but if not maybe you already have one!

Dollar Store Bunny Makeover

To make one of these for yourself, first cut out the burlap about 1/4" larger than the actual bunny. You'll trim it close later.


Then use the Mod Podge to adhere the ears first. Spread out a layer of Mod Podge on the cardboard ears with a sponge brush then lay the burlap over it and press down firmly.


I wanted a little 3D effect with my bunny so I made him a little tummy with a small handful of fiberfill stuffing. Put a layer of Mod Podge over the rest of the cardboard bunny shape, lay the ball of stuffing on it, and then cover over it with the burlap and press down firmly.


Use small clamps (or clothespins) to hold the edges while it dries.


Make a tail with some fluffy yarn and the small Clover pom-pom maker. Check out this post for a tutorial on How to Use the Clover Pom-Pom Maker.


Once you have the pom-pom made, trim one side flat and then glue that onto the bunny.


Then embellish him as you wish!

I decided to use some pink ribbon to make a bow. I did not tie the ribbon around the neck of my bunny because that would have interfered with the sign on the reverse side so I just cut the ribbon and glued it onto the front and then made a separate bow and glued that on top.


I love his little fat tummy and fluffy tail!


He can hang this way...


Or, he can still hang this way too!
