Easter Project for under $5 (Tutorial and Free Template!!)

***Edited to add:
I made this before I found out about Lindsay's $5 spring challenge, but it fits in perfectly! Did I mention that the winner gets some great prizes??:)

This project cost less than $5 (I actually only spent less than $3) to make. I got the canvas (8 x 10) at the Dollar Store for $1. I bought the "Happy Easter" magnet at Michaels. It was $2.99 but I used a 40% off coupon bringing it down to $1.79. I had the paper, paint, fabric scraps, ribbon, and the fake flowers already, but even those are a minimal cost. So I made a tutorial for you, and if you make one, I would love to see it! This project could made so many different ways.

Step 2: Feel free to download this bunny template and trace it onto paper, cut it out, paint it, decoupage it, use material...be creative!









Don't forget to send me a picture if you make one!

Very cute idea, Chrissie, thanks for joining my blog party.

I had hoped that all of you who are linking from the blog party would link back to MY party post, so that all your readers can get some spring inspiration too! If you could do that, it would be great.
