I’m not much of a spring decorator around here, but I do love a touch of something around the house. Aaaand since I can’t always find what I like in stores, I decided to just make my own decoration.
My living room decor doesn’t necessarily call for “frilly”, so I wanted to make something that looked like Easter without looking like Easter. You pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down here?
After staining a piece of scrap wood and letting it dry, I covered the whole thing with painter’s tape.
Using a bunny head template I cut out, I traced it onto the tape-covered wood.
After tracing it, I used a craft blade to cut around it. Instead of cutting the bunny out, I pulled all the excess tape around it. A reverse stencil! Ta. Da.
The fun part? Paint, paint, paint. Before it dries too much, peel the tape up, and you’re left with a little ol’ bunny head.
It blends in really well with the decor (love that), yet it’s festive. That’s what I call a craft success.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and a fantastic spring! Feel free to stop by my Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest to see more!

What a cute and simple little bunny silhouette. Adorable!

CUTE! I love that it’s not the whole head but just the top and the ears. What fun!
Ok, will be copying this pronto so it can be admired this weekend! Enjoy your spring break. Was in GR this wknd and thought of you…have you checked out the HomeGoods? Can’t wait to see your treasures!
I really enjoyed this DIY project. It’s not too girly or childish. It would be perfect for a stylish home that just wants to celebrate a bit of the Easter bunny. I love the stained wood, great tip! Thanks for posting.
This is so clever and so darling. I am all about the Easter decor that fits in to what is already around. So smart to do the reverse stencil. Love it, my dear.
Love this idea! Can definitely see doing this with a variety of other designs, too.
