Easter Bunny Chalk Picture

I bought a frame at the local ReStore for $2.00. I could not pass it up. It was gross and dirty, but in good shape otherwise and I loved the details.

Bunny silhouette's have been all over blogland, Pinterest, Pottery Barn and more. I had to have one in my home too. Today, I decided to use my frame for a chalk bunny.



I took it apart and lightly sanded the frame. I painted it a color I had in my garage. I took the print out and just sprayed it with 3 coats of chalkboard paint. Then rubbed chalk all over it. I printed out a bunny silhouette I liked and then I cut it out and traced around it on my new chalkboard with chalk, of course. Then I colored it in.

Total Cost: $2.00

From this:



To this (in about 30 minutes):





Have a great day!
