Bunny Pillow

I was looking online for some pillows for Easter decorating for my home. I wanted something simple. I found this little pillow at Target, but felt that the price was a little high.

I was pretty sure that I could make something very similar for a lot less money than $18.99!

I got some materials from the Dollar Tree & Walmart & this is what I came up with.

I used some fabric from the automotive section of the Dollar Tree as well as a Bunny Ear headband. I stuffed the little pillow with the stuffing from a Walmart standard sized pillow. Needless to say, the Grand-baby loves it!

By now you know me well enough to know that if I don’t have what I need, I make it.  I wanted some copper colored flatware for a Fall tablescape.  I couldn’t believe how expensive it was!  $54.00?  I don’t think so… I made mine for $2.64.

I found some plain silver flatware at Walmart.  They had 4 packs for  $.88 each so I got a pack of knives, spoons & forks.  I washed & dried them, but in hind site, I should have used an S.O.S. pad to roughen up the surface.  Live & learn.

Then using painter’s tape, I taped off everything that I didn’t want painted.  I used 2 coats of metallic copper paint & 2 coats of Krylon’s Triple Thick clear glaze on both sides.

I love the way they turned out, and it was just what my tablescape needed.

Let me know what you think!

Bathroom Corner Shelf Re-Do

I don’t know if I’m frugal, cheap or just hate throwing things away that can be saved.  I’m stubborn Irish, so I guess it’s more of the latter.  This Summer, I’ve been doing a lot of little repairs around the house while the weather has been nice.  This is one of those projects.
