Faux Tin Ceiling Easter Bunny
If you saw one of my recent posts on how to make a textured bunny then you'll know that I reached for a tin ceiling tile and realized I was out of them.
At the time I made an adorable rusty textured bunny instead and today I'm going to create the tin ceiling bunny I had set out to make and it is just in time for Spring.
It came out very cute, take a look ...
I purchased a few more tin ceiling tiles at Dollar Tree. I've used them on several projects so far and they turned out great! I should remember to always have some on hand!

The first thing I did was to cut out a bunny shape from the tile and remove the sticky backing. The backing comes right off.
I painted the bunny white with Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk. You can use any chalky paint on these tiles.
When the white paint dried I went over the whole bunny with a gel stain. The one I used was Fusion Mineral Paint Antiquing Glaze.
When that dried I went around the bunny dabbing on some moss green colored paint. When that was dry I gave the bunny a quick shot of matte black spray paint from high above the bunny. I find that this gives a great rustic look. I also hold the spray paint can on its side to get a speckled look with the paint.
When all the painting was finished I traced the bunny onto a piece of MDF board and cut out the bunny shape with my tabletop jig saw. The MDF is really easy to cut!
I used hot glue to glue the ceiling tile onto the MDF board.
Lastly, I added 2 rows of cotton twine around the bunny to hide the side of the MDF board.
A long time ago Gail from My Repurposed Life made these great wooden stands and I'm using one of them today to hold the bunny.
I used hot glue to hold the bunny into the stand then I covered the front of the stand with moss and small flowers.

This bunny came out so cute!

I even sat the bunny in a pot and it looks like the moss and flowers is growing out of the pot!

This was a fun and easy project for the Spring that can sit on a shelf or table for the holidays.
