A Book Page Bunny
February 24, 2013
Since my book page Christmas tree was a big hit in blogland, I decided to try a book page bunny for Easter.
I searched the net for book page bunnies and although there were a lot of decoupaged bunnies, there were not too many decoupaged with book pages.
There was this bunny with tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets.
And then there were these book page eggs that interested me from Oleander and Palm. I liked the idea here of several shades of book page color and print sizes. Maybe a little more vintage looking.
So I picked up this bunny for $3 at the thrift shop...
It's bright and shiny.
Then I ripped up small pieces of book pages prior to gluing. I think I ended up ripping some pieces even smaller, but you can see the variation in type size and page color.
I started brushing on Mod Podge with a small foam brush but really ended up applying a lot of the Mod Podge with my finger. It took me several hours to finish as I used pretty small pieces of paper. Then when I woke up this morning and checked on my project some of the bright blue was peeking through in spots. I added more Mod Podge and more paper pieces.
I really like the way my bunny turned out. He has a crazy quilt kinda vintage quality!
I put my bunny in an Easter vignette with one of my styrofoam button Easter eggs in a zinc pot with Spanish moss. If you want to try your hand at the button eggs, my post is here.

I added a vintage framed Easter card that was my Grandma's.
Stay tuned for my chocolate bunnies to come soon!

I missed this post! Your Easter vignette looks charming. I still have my Valentine's Day stuff up! I better get busy. Love the book page bunny. The writing makes him look extra smart. :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of this! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the bunny, the egg and your vignette Carlene! I may have to borrow this paper idea at some point ;-) Thanks for sharing it at my party this week!
ReplyDeleteI love the Bibles in the wire basket and your covered bunny is so much nicer than the shiny blue.
ReplyDeleteBunny looks vintage! Such a fun and cute idea Carlene! Thanks for sharing!

loved the look ....I have done swans and old forms and furniture and and I love Mod Podge
ReplyDeleteGeeze Carlene...I would have never envisioned that fun project when I saw that frighteningly aqua blue metallic bunny!! I do love it when you do a craft girl! So awesome! And the button eggs are really cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is one great looking project! You made "cheesy" look high end - wow! Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to say hi.

This bunny looked so familiar to me. I looked at mine and it is exactly the same, but it's ceramic with a crackle finish that I just added a ruffled burlap collar. Love how you did yours. I too have one done in music sheets. Love the button egg.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this one. Love the paper bunny and the button egg. How fun and so clever. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYour vignette with your book page bunny looks so pretty. laurie
ReplyDeleteLove your bunny and your blog! I'm a new follower. I'd love it if you would share this at "What We Accomplished Wednesday," at Green Willow Pond. It is live right now. Have a great week!
