Craftibilities: acrylic paint

This was so last minute but I wanted to make Archie, my dog, a peep bunny shirt before our Easter themed bingo tomorrow. I bought the shirt for him from Amazon a couple weeks back and thought about doing a vinyl applique BUT I ran out of time. Plan B!

What you need:

T-shirt

Acrylic paint

Paint brush

Printed stencil or shape

Tulle

Sewing kit or hot glue

I used metallic white acrylic paint.

White tulle for the peep tail.

I printed a peep shape on 11x17 paper and placed under the shirt and traced with chalk.

I didn't think about if I add a bunny tail then you are looking at the REAR of the peep. I originally painted the black eyes and nose and had to wipe it off (not easy) and paint over it a few times so the white covered my mistake.

Painted (few times) and let dry.

I used a piece of cardboard to wrap the tulle around.

Carefully slid it off and used sewing thread to tie it in the center. Then I followed the loops at the end of each side and cut.

Trimmed off any longer pieces.

Tested placement and size. I trimmed it down twice to make it look size appropriate. Lol!

Sewed in place or use hot glue to attach.

So cute!

He looked adorable!

I'm planning a LUAU theme bingo at our local retirement residence at the end of the month and here are the favor bags. I've seen some similar ideas but the perfectionist kicked in and I needed them all to be EXACTLY the same as much as possible. Lol!

They are just brown paper lunch sacks painted green and yellow with marker lines. I used twine to tie.

Inexpensive to make and so super cute!

I test run everything!!! Here is my test bag with colors, top cut, and marker shades. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do metallic gold and green and if the top cut would look cute when tied. Sometimes I over think it and then can't decide.
