Gnome Bunny Gift Bag Reverse Canvas

Take an adorable Happy Easter gift bag with 3 little Gnome Bunnies, and turn it into a cute piece of DIY Easter Decor using the reverse canvas method. After seeing this craft, you’ll never look at a Holiday gift bag the same way again!

Confession: It’s April 13th 2023, and if you’re reading this around this time then you are well aware that Easter is over.

O-V-E-R, over.

I started this blog post well before Easter and then next thing I knew Easter came and went and I never got this one done. (Add that to the 345 other craft tutorials that I need to get up on the blog)

Since I already had everything almost done, I decided to follow through because this one is just toooooo darn cute!

If you don’t have this exact gift bag, no fear. You can totally make this same adorable Gnome Bunny Gift Bag Reverse Canvas with any Easter (or any at all!) gift bag that you can find.

In fact, this doesn’t even have to be an Easter craft. You can whip up a St. Patty’s reverse canvas, a Patriotic one, or whatever your creative brain can think up.

First things first, you need to reverse your canvas. All that means is that you need to take the canvas off of the wood frame, by using an X-Acto knife to cut it off. I have a blog post with step by step instructions how to do this on a different Easter Gift Bag Reverse Canvas HERE, but I will copy them for you below as well!

Written Steps to make an Gnome Bunny Gift Bag Reverse Canvas

1. Remove the white canvas from the wooden frame.The easiest way to do this is to use an X-acto knife to slit around the back of the white canvas so you have one rectangular piece. You can rip the remainder off pretty easily, and don’t worry about removing the staples. You won’t see them since they’re on the back of the frame. Trim up the canvas so that it fits over the back of the frame, without hanging off the edge.
2. Stain the wooden frame dark brown.You can use either a dark brown paint mixed with water, or an antique wax/stain to rub over the wood using a baby wipe. Wipe down with a dry paper towel to remove the excess paint/stain.
3. Glue the gift bag to the white canvas rectangle.Cut out the front of the gift bag, and if it is larger than the white canvas, trim it accordingly so that it fits. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the white canvas, and secure the gift bag to it. Press down firmly and smooth out all the creases and wrinkles.
4. Attach the Canvas to the back of the wooden frame.Apply hot glue all around the back of the wooden frame (side with the staples), and glue the canvas + gift bag to the back.
5. Embellish your canvas with some mini bees. Randomly glue some mini resin bees around and on your canvas and gift bag.
6. Make a small bow and attach to the top of the frame. Wrap each color of your bakers twine in a bunch of circles around your finger, and then tie a piece of string in the middle making a figure 8. Glue all of the loops together to make a bow.
7. Hang up and Enjoy! Glue a piece of twine or string to the back top so that you can hang it up.

Here are a few pics to get you started and better show how to make this.
