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.
