a bunny makeover

>> 2.22.2010

As I have mentioned before I love to get seasonal decor items at Goodwill.  A while back I found a few bunnies at the thrift store to add to my easter decor.  I found this bunny cake pan and thought it would be fun to hang or display in my kitchen.  For now I am thinking of leaving it as is. 


I also found this ceramic bunny on the same trip to Goodwill.  I did not like much about him except for his overall shape.  I especially was not fond of the purple flowers!!  But I knew a few coats of spray paint and I could totally change the look of this bunny.


I used several light coats of white primer spray paint to cover up the flowers and any areas of color.  And then I sprayed Mr. Bunny with two coats of antique white paint.  And now he is ready to be put on display come Easter!!

My younger brother's birthday was in March, and my mom made him a bunny cake every year! So cute.

I see those molds at Goodwill all the time. Are they for cakes, jello? I have no clue so I never buy them. I am excited to see what you come up with.

"Some bunny" looks much cuter after a coat of spray paint!
