Repurposed Lamp Bunny Figurine
Spring and Easter are still a while away but if you're a maker you might be ready to start creating! This little bunny was so fun to make using repurposed lamp parts...
I began with a few pieces of an old lamp I found on the side of the road.
The back story on the pretty lamps I found is not so pretty... I plugged one in and blew out the power in half my house and it cost me more than brand new lamps!
Needless to say, the lamps were disassembled for a project just like this one!
As you scroll through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links for more Homeroad projects and the products I used for this project.
I glued the pieces together, except the salt shaker top, using Super Glue Gel.
I primed the pieces with a spray primer.
Next, I cut ears from painter's cloth.
Painter's cloth is my go-to fabric for many of my easy DIY projects.
I used hot glue around the edges of the bunny ears then added a piece of rebar wire so the ears would stand up straight.
I then stuffed the ears with pillow stuffing.
The 2 ears were glued together at the base with hot glue.
No-sew projects are easy to make, I've made so many recently!
I needed to close off the top of the hole in the lamp parts once I hot glued the ears inside so I used a salt shaker top to seal the ears in place.
I love just digging in the parts bin and finding pieces that work!

Next, I painted the bunny with Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.
The color Raw Silk was similar to the color of the painter's cloth bunny ears.
When the paint dried I tied a simple bow around the top of the bunny.
I think he is just adorable and not too much!

I love the neutral look and the simple suggestion of an Easter bunny!
In case you're missing a face, then by all means add one with a thin Sharpie marker!
