Moss Covered Bunnies

Spring is right around the corner, and I'm stoked for warmer temperatures!!!! To celebrate the end of winter, I decided to create some fun moss covered bunnies that I'll be using as decor throughout the month of March as well as for my Easter tablescape.
Here are my completed bunnies, which I'm also going to be sharing on the Hometalk DIY My Spring Blog Hop. You can check out all the amazing projects completed by the talented bloggers whose projects will be linked up at the bottom of my blog post. Check out my post to see all the great spring projects, and watch out for the hashtag for more inspiring ideas.
Here's how my bunnies started off. I purchased them for $2.50 each from the Dollar Store. The moss is also from the Dollar Store, and the craft paint and glue are items I simply had on hand. The bunnies are cute on their own I suppose, but since I like to use very monochromatic tones in my decor, I needed to add some texture and a consistent colour.
This step is pretty self explanatory. I mixed my brown and green paint together to create this brownish undertone for the bunny. It also occurred to me while doing this, that this would also work if you were trying to make a faux chocolate bunny for Easter decor as well. If that's what I was doing, I'd use a high gloss dark brown paint. Hmmmm, maybe next year.....
Once the paint was dry, I spread my white craft glue all over the bunnies using a paint brush.
Here comes the messy part. I typically put all my moss into a bowl and work the moss on to each bunny inside the bowl. It helps keep the mess to a minimum.

And just for fun, here's a peek at my bar cart all decked out for Spring. Yay!!!! I love the warmer weather and can't wait to start decorating outside.
