A Creative Paperclay® Easter Bunny

 Hello, Happy Easter and welcome to another tutorial! Today I have an Easter Bunny to share with you.

Isn't he cute?

The supplies I used are:

• Creative Paperclay®
• Foil
• Masking tape
• Diluted white glue
• 220 grit sandpaper
• gesso
• Folk Art Vintage White and Seashell Pink
• Apple Barrel Pewter Grey
• Plaid Antiquing Medium: Apple Butter Brown
• Black Paint
• White Paint
• Pearlescent chalking set (used for cheeks and eye shadow)
• Spray Varnish
• Royal Coat Dimensional Magic by Plaid Crafts
• Brown Paper Strip 1" x 1' 6" ( I used a paper bag)
• 1/4"- dowel (12" long)
• washi tape
• craft wire
• wire cutters, pliers
• needle tool
• paper towel
• water

Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Form the bunny's head out of foil.

Step 2: Shape the ears.

Step 3: Press them into the foil and secure with hot glue.

Step 4: Cover with masking tape.

Step 5: Coat with diluted white glue and cover with Creative Paperclay®.

Step 6: Add the nose, cheeks and eyebrows . Poke holes into the clay for the eyes. Set aside to dry.

When dry sand, fix any cracks and coat with gesso.

Step 7: Paint your Easter Bunny.

Step 8: When completely dry coat with stain.  Let it sit for 15 to 30 seconds and then wipe off with a paper-towel. If it is too dark, dampen the paper-towel.

Step 9: Use chalk pastels to add eye shadow and blush. Spray with varnish to seal.

Step 10: Fold the strip of brown paper accordion style. Secure the ends and form into a collar shape.

Step 11: Fill the eyes with Plaid Dimensional Magic.

Step 12: Drill a hole big enough for the dowel under the bunny head. Glue the collar to the base of the head.

Step 13: Secure the dowel with glue and cover with washi tape. 

Step 14: Add ribbons and raffia.

Step 15: Add a white spec to each eye. 

The finished bunny.
