Anyone else feel like you blinked and now it’s Easter? I figured I better hurry and put out a few Easter decorations ASAP or I might miss the holiday entirely. Better late than never, right?
So I went over to the Dollar Store yesterday and found a few little Easter decorations.
Before I primed any of them, I had to prep the Welcome sign because I’m just not feelin’ those flowers. They were so easy to pop off. Then I just sanded a little bit where the flowers were glued on.
Then I took all the little decorations outside and primed them.
After they were all primed I simply gave each of them a nice even coat of flat white spray paint.
Um, meh. I think overall this one is a miss. I guess I could have put some wood filler on those leftover flower holes. Well, for a buck it’ll be a great decoration for the next week and a half.
I really like the way the cross turned out. I love the detail on it. Maybe some day I’ll repaint it heirloom white for a more antique look.
The bunnies are cute. I like them much better white. Now all I need is some moss and a few little eggs around them.
Overall, for $4 total I think they turned out pretty cute. I have some really great Easter stuff back home and since we are driving back to Texas this summer I can’t acquire too much stuff or it wont all fit in our trailer, so these little decorations will have to do this year. Isn’t there some saying about “less is more sometimes”?
Plus, I’m decorating and painting with a broken rib at the moment, so don’t expect too much from me, k? 😉
Happy Easter Peeps!!
Wow! It never ceases to amaze me what can be done with $1 and some spray paint!
Broken rib……. Don’t laugh, do not cough, don’t sneeze. Amazing how much that little bone can affect your whole existence.!
The bunnies look great spraypainted white!

Great call on the white spray paint! It took the bunnies from slightly scary to super cute!
What great transformations!
Hey girl. What area of Texas will you return to? I am wayyy down in Houston. I like the bunnies white…the pink eyes looked scary in the photo. lol
I love those bunnies in white!! Great job!
Those painted bunnies turned out so cute ~ what a great idea!
Girl, you have vision! Those rabbits looked freaky. I would have walked right past them in the store. They look FANTASTIC with a coat of white spray paint. Great job.
Wow. I am impressed! I could not find too much by the way of natural looking decor for Easter and bought nothing so far.
I am raring to go get some bunnies and paint them white now though!
Love how some spray paint transforms these into beauties – the cross is my favorite, love that decal!
Super cute – especially the bunnies. 🙂
You’d LOVE my mom’s awesome-and-so-cheap-it’s-almost-free Easter garland idea.

They turned out cute! It’s amazing what a little spray paint can do for some DT items, isn’t it?
Just hopping over from WFMW. Cute idea. I think I just might steel it.
Looks far more expensive than $4. Great job!
What cute ideas! Thank goodness for dollar stores. The bunnies are my favorite 🙂
I found you at a little craft therapy with life in the pitts 🙂
You are so creative….I love how the kind of cheesy grandma’s house looking bunnies became FABULOUS with some paint. (I love your Ikea plant pot too…. I bought a few small ones and a big one, in the winter and used them as a hot chocolate bar. http://sassyinspirations.blogspot.com/2010/01/baby-ks-winter-one-derland-birthday.html I’ll be using them as a salad bar this summer.)

These turned out great. I love how much it made it all look so cute! Those bunnies were totally transformed!! Thanks for sharing at Fun to Craft’s Spring has Sprung Party.
