Easy Easter Bunny Project, Pottery Barn Inspired
Welcome back. Last week I shared with you my Pottery Barn copycat painting. I must say, all of your comments were so generous and kind. This week I’m headed back to Pottery Barn, not for a copycat project, but an inspired by project.
I was totally inspired by this trio of birds sitting on chunks of wood. Pottery Barn’s cost is $29.50 each. So when I say inspired, I really mean, I can do that!
I did love the Pottery Barn birds and I have looked for birds at my local thrift stores for a couple weeks now, but I haven’t found any that I would like to have sitting on a wooden post.
What I did find were these 2 cute little bunnies from the dollar section of my local Target store. At $3 a piece, I could totally picture them sitting on my reclaimed wood.
Target did have one other bunny laying down, but I didn’t think he would work as well on a post.
I’ve already cut 2 chunks of wood off of my longer reclaimed wood post. My cutoffs are about 3 and 5 inches in length.
Going off of my Pottery Barn inspiration, I sprayed the two bunnies with Rustoleum Chalked paint in a charcoal color. If I had flat black paint in my stash, I could have used that as well.
I sanded the posts well to get rid of splinters and soften the edges then stained the cut edges with a pine stain.
Glue the bunnies to the post with a clear heavy duty adhesive such as E6000, or Gorilla glue. Let dry.
One more look at my inspiration birds and I noticed they had some gold highlights. Well I need that too.
Once again I returned to my supplies where I found my tube of rub ‘n buff in gold. It was almost dried out but I was able to get just enough on my finger to give my little bunny some shine.
How about that for an easy Easter bunny project. Hopefully I gave you enough time to head to your local Target before they clear away the Easter decor.
Happy Easter everyone. Until next time, stay inspired.

Beautiful and even more so because you made then yourself!
So clever! Definitely going to try this!
Adorable:)
Those bunnies are really cute. I always pick up cement statuary at yard sales if I can.
I follow one blogger who took a toy horse and covered it with a “wash” of cement and then mounted it on a flat board. It was very attractive and you would have never known.
Great post Joan
