Hello My Dear Crafty Friends,
Welcome to my second August BoBunny blog post.
As my new BoBunny collections are still on the way to me (thanks to our fantastic post service it takes ages to get a package ) I decided to share a few projects made with older collections, with a holiday twist.
All four projects were made with Christmas/Winter collections and with both seasons coming this is just a perfect time to share with I have done with all of my holiday craftiness.
All four projects are almost 100% BoBunny and all are easy and fast crafts. I added step by step written instruction to all of four projects to make them easier to complete.
The first project is an altered planner cover and I didn't add the real planner inside as I am still waiting for the new 2018 one.
As you can see I made this "wooden door" that I love, and have used on my BoBunny projects. this one is embellished it with Merry and Bright collection pieces.
How to make this project:
1. Cover the simple planner with fabric. Paint with white Pentart black gesso and let it dry.
2. Make the door shape with white painted chipboard piece as a base. Cut chipboard painted strips to cover the basic chipboard and paint them with white gesso. Use dry brush to make the wooden texture over the wet gesso and let it dry.
3. Arrange the painted strips as shown and secure with brass brads. Add the metal handle and the hinges and paint them all with a bit of white gesso. Paint the arranged door with Pentart pink and gold acrylic diluted with water. Glue the "door" to the fabric cover of the notebook.
4. Arrange the embellishment cluster using BoBunny patterned cardstock, chipboards, layered chipboard and Noteworthy pieces.

Add the black cardstock spine, another patterned paper strip and the sequin ribbon over the cover.
2. Die cut all 5 rectangles for the cover: 3 from silver glitter cardstock and two from BoBunny patterned cardstock. Arrange them as shown over the cover.
3. Add a strip of the cover cardstock vertically on the top. Glue the chipboards as shown over the top and add the chipboard sentiment.

4. Embellish the cap with paper flowers and ribbons.
