Vintage Bunny Nest for Spring
This project is another in a series of projects where I used what I had in the house to decorate for Spring.
I began with an old black painted board.
I painted a light coat of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Lucketts Green over the black.
When the paint dried I gave it a light sanding all in one direction, careful not to take off too much green paint.
As you can see it gave it a beautiful texture.
I wanted to attach a vintage ladle to the wooden board.
I used a metal clamp with wire to attach the ladle to the clamp.
I used hot glue to attach a store-bought nest into the dish of the ladle.
I filled the nest with green moss and attached a small bunny from the craft store to the back of the nest, covering the clamp.
I filled the nest with small carrots also from the craft store.
For the next step I am using rub on transfers from ReDesign by Prima.
The transfers came on several large sheets.
I used them for several recent projects including the painted craft cupboard, the vintage soap saver nests, and the farmhouse Easter eggs.
All I did was to cut off the words I wanted from the sheet and rub them onto the wood.
This cute little vintage nest is adorable to decorate for Spring with things found at home.
