carefully crafted cuteness by Melyssa Connolly: I'm entwined in some exciting news.

I've been waiting a while to announce this!! Now I can officially tell you that I made the Design Team for the Twinery.

I saw an adorable bag on Pinterest and just happened to have some burlap.

1. I used the bunny cut files from Whimsie Doodles and enlarged it to 4 inches and cut it from vinyl. I figured the vinyl would be great because it's sticky. You want the bunny to be completely cut through.

2. Stick the stencil on onto the burlap bag.

3. Use a stiff brush and white acrylic paint to fill in the "blank" area of the bunny.

4. I started from the outside edge and worked my way in.

*make sure there is a scrap of paper under the burlap because paint will leak through.

5. Then peel off the stencil

6. I was impatient so I used my hair dryer to dry the paint. Or you can just let it dry on it's own. Acrylic paint doesn't take very long to dry.

This is a photo of the back side, some of the thicker areas of paint came through the burlap.

7. I picked up some pink Gelato on my still wet with white paint brush (just scribble some pink on the backing -slippery side of the vinyl stencil)

and rubbed it in a circular motion to create blush.

I used Strawberry Solid twine to decorate this bag.

Die cut a tag, stamp sentiment and wrap the Strawberry twine around the top to finish it off.

Now repeat these steps on kraft cardstock to make bunny cards. Make sure the vinyl stencil has lost most of it's stickiness so that it won't pull the cardstock.

I made these adorable pom pom tails with Solid Strawberry and Caribbean Solid twine from the Twinery
