As I’ve said before, our family has a weird obsession with banks. They are more than vessels to collect money in. Banks can make gorgeous home décor as well.

When designing new Easter décor I knew I wanted to do something with this adorable papier mache bunny I have. Once it occurred to me that it is hollow, turning it into a bank was the obvious choice.

This easy DIY golden bunny bank is a gorgeous addition to your Easter décor. It will also help feed your bank obsession!

DIY Golden Bunny Bank Materials

Papier Mache Bunny Form (I got mine at Joann Fabrics)
Box Cutter
File
Pencil
White Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush
Gold Spray Paint
Empty K-Cup
Lighter
Ribbon
Flower

Step 1

To start, prepare your K-Cup by removing the foil from the top from it as best as possible. Don’t worry about making it perfect, just enough to clean the inside. It will get trimmed off later.

Step 2

Next, wash your K-Cup to remove any residue left over.

Step 3

After you have cleaned your K-Cup, use the solid end to trace a circle on the bottom of your bunny. Make sure it is far enough in from the edges so that you don’t cut them later.

Step 4

Next, cut out your circle using your box cutter.

Step 5

File the edges of the cut circle with a fine file. If it is too course, it will only shred your bunny worse.

Tip:

I used a small nail file and it worked fabulously.

Step 6

Next, push your K-Cup into the hole so that it is secure but don’t force it to hard. Mark the spot that the bunny comes to on the cup.

Step 7

Then pull the K-Cup out and cut along the mark you made.

Step 8

Carefully melt the cut edge of your K-Cup with a lighter to create a small lip along the cut edge.

Step 9

Next, check that the plug now sits flush in the opening. If it does, pull back out and place off to the side.

Step 10

Then, turn your bunny over and cut a rectangular coin slot in the top.

Step 11

Next, measure the slot to ensure that it is large enough for a large coin to fit through.

Tip:

Check the measurement with the largest coin to ensure that all coins will fit.

Step 12

Once you know the coin slot is big enough, file the edges of the coin slot with your file.

Step 13

Now, cover your bunny with a coat of white acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry.

Step 14

After your white paint has dried, spray paint your bunny gold.

Tip:

You may need 2 coats of gold spray paint. If you do, allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

Step 15

Next, cut a length of ribbon long enough to tie around the neck of your bunny.

Step 16

Now, tie the ribbon around your bunny’s neck.

Step 17

Next, tuck a small flower in the ribbon.

Step 18

Lastly, add the K-Cup plug back into the bottom of the bunny.

This easy DIY golden bunny bank is such a fantastic project to get your home Easter-ready. You can change it up to fit your décor style by changing up the paint color and ribbon.

A fun addition is to drop your spare change into the bank all month long. When Easter comes, you’ll have cash to put into the eggs for the Easter egg hunt! If you want even more fun bunny crafts, check out these 8 easy ones to satisfy your craft craving.

More Easter Tips and Tricks:

This month for the Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge I am changing things up a little. This tutorial is a birthday gift for someone so I tried to capture the farmhouse look. The mix of textures in this upcycled farmhouse vignette cloche is so comforting and pretty. I hope you (and the birthday girl) love it as much as I do. Full disclaimer: there are a lot of steps to this tutorial but the end result is absolutely worth it.

The Rules:

Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
There’s no monthly theme.
There’s no budget to stick to.

Upcycled Farmhouse Vignette Cloche Materials

Thrift Store Footed Cloche
Small Paper Plate
Loose Moss
Mod Podge
White Acrylic Paint
2 Foam Brushes (One for Mod Podge and One for White Paint)

HB Graphite Pencil
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Burlap Roll
Scissors
Faux Off White Hydrangea
Cream Colored Yarn
3 Wooden Blocks

Step 1

First, clean your cloche inside and out.

Tip:

If the price written on the glass isn’t coming off, add a small amount of Dawn dish soap to it. Let sit for a minute then wipe off with a damp paper towel.

Step 2

Next, cut the lip off of your small paper dessert plate.

Step 3

Add a coat of Mod Podge to your plate.

Step 4

Now cover your plate with your loose moss.

Step 5

Shake off the excess and return it to the container. Next, set your moss plate off to the side to dry.

Step 6

Paint a coat of white acrylic paint on your blocks.

Tip:

Don’t worry about coating the bottom of the blocks. The bottoms won’t be seen.

Step 7

Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on.

Step 8

If needed, add a second coat of paint to the blocks.

Tip:

A second coat of white paint is only needed on one block because the others will be covered with other media.

Step 9

After your moss plate has begun to dry, add a second coat of Mod Podge over the moss.

Tip:

Do this gently to prevent the moss already attached from coming off.

Step 10

Next, cover the 2^nd coat with moss.

Step 11

Shake off the excess again and return to the container. Set aside to allow the glue to dry completely.

Tip:

This can take up to 24 hours.

Step 12

Measure enough burlap to wrap around the outside of one of your single-coated blocks.

Step 13

Cut the burlap.

Step 14

Next, glue your burlap strip to the block.

Note:

Leave a lip of extra burlap above the block.

Step 15

Trim the excess wrap and the excess at the bottom. Do not trim the lip from step 14.

Step 16

Next, cut 2-3 single flowers from your hydrangea.

Step 17

Then glue the single flowers to the top of your burlap block.

Step 18

Now, cover the flower stems with a small piece of the excess burlap you trimmed in step 15.

Step 19

Next, cover your 2^nd single-coated block with cream yarn. Attach the yarn with hot glue.

Tip:

Wrap around the outside and secure with glue first. Then cover the top of the block.

Step 20

Draw “No. 23” on the remaining block with your pencil.

Step 21

Carefully cover your pencil drawing with Mod Podge.

Tip:

I used my finger to apply the Mod Podge in this step.

Step 22

Allow all of your elements to dry completely before moving on.

Step 23

Lastly, attach your blocks to the center of your moss plate as pictured.

Note:

The yarn block is glued only to the top of the white block.

Once your farmhouse vignette is completed, place it in the center of your cloche and replace the lid. This allows you to change your vignette out seasonally if desired. If you want to make the vignette semi-permanent (or less-susceptible to bumps) place a Zot between the cloche base and vignette plate.
