I also picked up these bunnies.
They were pretty darn ugly with that crap around their necks but I liked the shape. Plus they were only 50 cents a piece so I thought I could afford to experiment with them. I worked on them this past weekend. They were a challenge to say the least.
It took a good hour and a half to pull all that junk off. Whoever decorated them used a ton of hot glue. So I pulled as much of the stuff off as I could by hand, then started pulling at the glue with a pair of pliers. I got as much glue off as I could then sanded them down.
I pulled out some scrapbook paper and mod podged it on.
I'm not sure if I'm completely finished with them, but after working on them for over two hours I decided to quit. Not bad for a $2 project.****
I got this cute Valentine from Nicolle at Boyd's Crazy Mama in the mail today. What a cutie!

I've discovered that using your hair dryer on hot glue melts it just enough that it is much easier to remove.
I think the bunnies are adorable! I love cute scrapbook paper!

I haven't even been thrifting lately...it seems like they have just had junk.
Your bunnies turned out great and I love those perpetual calendars. I have one in the window above my kitchen sink.
I love your seeing your finds. I would definitely love that calendar.
Great job on the bunnies.
Love the use of scrapbook paper on the bunnies! How cute! I don't ever seem to find anything good at the goodwill near me. Just junk. But I keep going back cause I see all the good stuff that other people find.
Love the projects! I've missed seeing your creations.
I think my feed reader is broke because I haven't seen a post from you in a few days and here you posted about 5 since the last time I read anything from you...so sorry!
I wish I could go thrift shopping with you because you find some great stuff. I like what you did with the bunnies! And that calendar is great too!
I love the bunnies! So cute!
What a great job on the bunnies! :) I love shopping goodwill like that for craft supplies. :)
