Woooo hoooo hooo I’ve been crafting ……… nothing fancy, it was only a very quick glue gun jobbie, but it’s a start and I have to admit to feeling a little more inspired than I have been since Christmas.
Like I said, it’s nothing fancy, just a re-jig of the spring wreath that hung on my front door from Easter to Halloween last year.
It had served it purpose but I was loathe to totally discard it which is why, in part, I ordered a pack of 20 little 7.5cm jointed white and pink rabbits from China (£11.99) with Easter crafting in mind, not being able to find anything in the UK at such a reasonable bulk price at 69p each.
After adding a tiny, yellow ribbon to the four rabbits, I glue gunned them onto the already flowery wreath (white wicker wreath £1 from Poundland's Christmas 2020 craft range)
The flock carrots came from this years Home Bargain range (pack of 4 for 69p, I think) and the wooden ladybirds came from The Works (£1.50 for a pack of 30).
Now, as you all know I have a humungous “thing” about proportion and, to be honest, everything is totally out of proportion on this, even down to the rabbit's bows, but I think I may have gotten away with it on this occasion, so what if the carrots are bigger than the rabbits and the ladybirds are equally out of proportion, it gels (??? doesn't it ?????), it’s just fun and whimsical ........
......... especially when I think of Iris and Bertie’s reaction when they see it, to be honest, if everything was in proportion it just wouldn’t work, well, on a wreath at least. I think I may add to it in time, as more Easter bits and pieces become available, I am thinking some small, painted wooden eggs and what about a couple of butterflies to make it completely over the top?
