Oh So Sweet

We have a new challenge starting today at Try it on Tuesday and it's called Oh So Sweet.

I have had a change from cards for this challenge- I saw these on Pinterest and thought they were really cute so wanted to try making one - my two friends came for a crafty day so we sat and had fun together.

The terracotta pot is just over 4" high bought for next to nothing at a local small plant nursery.

We thought hard about what to use for the inside to give us something to work on - none of us like touching floral oasis😱 so some polystyrene packaging (salvaged from a friend's new kitchen installation) was cut up (cue lots of mess!) and glued inside the pot virtually to the top.

The bunny's bum was made up using two fur pom poms (from Temu) stitched together and we cut out pieces of felt for his feet.

Once bunny was in position digging up his carrots the artificial flowers and carrots were added.

Using the polystyrene meant we could push the stems in with just a dab of glue on the bottom of each stem.
Some silk flowers were put on the top to fill in any spaces.

The little heart sign was glued to a piece of dowel and the whole thing measures about 10" high.

Really enjoyed doing this with lots of laughs along the way and we each have a really sweet and cute little Easter/Spring decoration for our homes!

Thanks for looking and any comments you may leave.
Hope to see you over at the challenge blog with your cute and sweet creations too! x
