IN SYNERGY with our Premenstrual Philosophy of Dusting"Why Bother?"we've developed a delightful array of premenstrual decorating ideas for Easter whose main feature is the prodigious dust bunny. Yes, if you've followed our no-dust policy for as little as two months in only one uncarpeted room, you'll find all the puffs you need to create a premenstrual panoply of adorable Easter decorations. Here comes the Easter Dust Bunny, and his little friends, too!
General Preparation
Sweep all the dust-bunny material you have accumulated from diligent lack of housekeeping into an old pillowcase. Tape the pillowcase shut and gently roll it over a carpet or rug until it has formed into the shape of a big ball. You now have the natural equivalent of polyfill, from which you can pull dust-bunny material according to your size needs. Talk about convenience, and it doesn't cost a penny!
Premenstrual Peter Dust Bunny
Tie a festive blue ribbon around Peter Bunny's neck, and voilà!
Now create Peter's friend, Premenstrual Penelope Dust Bunny, as shown above, but substitute pink ribbon for blue.
Premenstrual Baby Dust Bunnies
You're a bunny pro by now, so just think small! Repeat 20 or 30 times, breeding, as it were, like the proverbial rabbit.
Premenstrual Easter Chick Dusties
Premenstrual Egg Dusties
Premenstrual Lady Bug Dusties
If desired, spray Peter, Penelope, and baby dust bunnies with your favorite colors for Easter. However, please note that your home-grown dust bunnies bear a remarkable similarity in color to a real, live, brown bunny! Happy Easter, everyone!!
P.S. We realize your little chicks aren't yellow, but with yellow legs and feet, we felt that was going a bit overboard. It took us long enough to think up that pipe-cleaner business, so kindly give credit where credit is due.
P.P.S. How about Q-tips and toothpicks? (Bunny ears and legs.) No?? Fine! Try doing better, you big bunch of Easter Know-it-Alls!!
