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.

A Paperclay Easter Bunny!

Hello, I hope you are all staying safe inside and managing not to go mad! It's business as usual for me, creating tutorials, filming courses for my Skillshare and Youtube channels and running a busy household. In the middle of all the madness, I hosted Clay Talk and did a live demo making an Easter bunny ornament.

For those of you who missed the live show, the video is below.

He really turned out nice didn't he? Be sure to give it a try and let me know how he turned out. Better yet share your photos with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them! For more inspiration have a look around the blog. There are tutorials for many levels using Creative Paperclay®.
