DIY Bunny Pillow

I don't know about you but I love pillows, pillows of  any size.  What I have learned over the years is to buy good down pillow inserts and just change out the covers. By doing that you save a ton on storage room, it's easier to store pillow covers verses big fluffy pillows. For Spring and Easter I really wanted a bunny pillow, so I went online and searched images.  And I found this one! 

I found these 18x18 faux linen pillow overs at Hobby Lobby. they are reg. 4.99 each but they were half off! SCORE!! Only 2.49! WOOHOO

  I printed out the bunny image on paper and decided it was just too small. 

 I cut it in half and enlarged each half. yes I am sure there is an easier way but I am so not computer savvy!

  I pinned my two halves together and it was just the size I wanted. Now while I know lots of people use transfer paper or freezer paper, I went old school.

 I traced the bunny in pencil

 Took a fabric marker and went over the pencil

 Filled in the entire bunny with the marker. Now I did this because I wanted to use paint but did not want layer after layer of paint, so this was kinda like a primer for me.

 I went over the ink with paint and while it dried I thought maybe I would like my bunny to have a puffy tail. So I went and grabbed the leftover yarn from my Wool Wreath and made a little pompom tail that I just safety pinned on.

 And here is the final pillow, I really do love it. So for a cost of 2.49 + tax is the cost of this little beauty. I had the pillow insert, I had the paint and yarn. So I think this was a really quick inexpensive project. Just the kind I love!
