Bunny Bunting

Although it doesn't feel like Spring here yet, Easter is just a couple of weeks away and I knew I wanted to make some homemade crafts to decorate the house! I love Bloom Designs so of course that was my go to place to look for some ideas and as soon as I saw this Burlap Banner I knew it was the perfect piece to make!


You will need:

Burlap (or Hessian for UK girls)
Paint
Ribbon
Paint Brush
Scissors
Glue
Pom Poms (optional)



First Cut out the stencil from Bloom Designs  and then cut out all the flags from the burlap.


I then stencilled on all the bunnies! Be sure to use lots of paint because the material sucked a lot of it up! (I used acrylic paint and also some regular Dulux wall paint tester pots as I didn't want to go and buy new paint).


After letting them drying I glued on the pom poms for tails.



And then I just glued the flags along the ribbon. I made 6 flags and used 3 meters of ribbon so I had plenty of extra to tie the the banner up with. I glued the flags approximately 4 inches apart.


And there we go you have some adorable Bunny Bunting. I was so pleased with how it turned out. I just need to find the perfect place to hang it since I'm not putting it out in the rain and snow!

Cute Camera Bags

Ever since I purchased my Canon DSLR I have been on the hunt for a bag to carry it in! I didn't want to go for a boring camera bag they had at the store so I reached out to some ladies on twitter and asked them what they used!

I found that some girls use camera bags, while others just use a regular handbag!


Rosa from Rosa Loves DC uses this gorges Kate Spade,


And Amelia from Duckling to Swan told me she carries hers in the bottom of her bag but linked me to this gorgeous Kipling bag (that is now sold out *sobs*).


I've also seen some great DIY ideas like this one for keeping you camera safe! Has anyone tried this idea?

What do you all use to carry your DSLR cameras around safely in? I'm hopefully off to Paris later this year and want to be able to carry my camera around in style!

Rain Leopard

Another Monday already! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had rain and now more snow! My hopes of spring arriving are slowly fading. I also can't get over who comfortable these J Crew Factory pants are. I never want to take them off! I got them on super sale during Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I might have to get the J Crew pixie pant next time they have a good sale.
