Today we had an Easter Bonnet competition at work. Basically, you create the wackiest looking contraption you can come up with that can perch on your head. 
This was my contribution:
He wasn’t a winner – but it was still fun to join in the goofy display.
The base purple “hat” is actually an easter basket turned upside down with the handle cut off. I added a plush bunny basket on top of that and hid a green floral block inside to hold the butterflies. The wire was painted white with gesso & then die-cut butterflies (Sizzix) were attached. The floral foam was covered with purple grass and a few plastic easter eggs to top it off. I added some gingham ribbon on the inside so that it could be tied under your chin. Yeah, I know, ridiculous… but sometimes we need to let our inner kid out. 
Happy Easter!

Love the hat…if this one didn’t win, I can’t even begin to imagine the one that did! Happy Easter!

I can’t begin to imagine you sporting this hat down the runway. In fact, I can’t imagine an office full of adults sporting wacky Easter bonnets. Mia made a bonnet and it was downright tame! So what won?

I think the winner’s hat involved an animatronic bunny of some kind. They seriously go all out in my office! heehee
