Good morning All! 

Welcome to the Wild West.

Did you expect a new Easter card or scrapbook layout this morning? If so, how disappointing. I thought it would be fun to revisit this project I posted for the first time in 2015. Wow! That’s 10 years ago.

Anyway, the supplies have changed but I think we can still make it work with the products you have in your arsenal.

First, a little history on the inspiration.  I landed in a Hancock Fabric Store in Reno, Nevada while on a typical inspiration outing. Inspiration is everywhere! There they were!  Little thread-spool bunnies. Commercially created for a foreign land. The wheels started turning and these little bunnies were born.

Gather up some supplies and let’s get started.

Nuts & Bolts

Baker’s Twine Bunnies

Acronyms & Jargon

• CAS = Clean And Simple
• CASE = Copy And Share Everything
• CS = Cardstock
• DSP = Designer Series Paper (aka patterned paper)
• SDSP = Specialty Designer Series paper
• SIP = Stamp Paper Ink

Supplies

• Baker’s Twine – length varies depending on the spool
• Wooden Spools – If you don’t have one at home, head to your local craft store
• Basic White or White Willow Cardstock Scraps
• Pastel DSP Scraps.
• Small Circle Punch
• Oval Punches or Oval Dies
• Natural fiber ribbon or burlap
• Paper or Fabric Bows
• Embellishments (hearts and bead type)
• Liquid and Hot Glue

Construction

1. Begin by attaching Baker’s Twine end to the spool with hot glue.
2. Start winding the twine around the spool slowly making sure there are not gaps. You may want to spot glue it in place every other wrap.
3. Cut the end and glue in place.
4. Decorate with items listed above.
5. Yes, it really is that simple.

Patterned paper, punches and natural fibers I used are retired. If you don’t have them, substitute with something you have. Do you have White Baker’s Twine and Re-inkers on hand? GREAT!  Dye the twine any color you like. Here are more ideas.
