Non Fattening Easter Bunnies

[kittykill]

I wanted to make some faux chocolate rabbits for the longest time. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on my first try to I found these little guys at the dollar store. They had a gloss shine on them so I was a bit worried about painting them, but they turned out great and now I want to make some more.

The finished product


The bunny painting process:


I had to use three coats of paint to get the texture and coverage I wanted. I mixed three different browns to get the "chocolate" effect.

I decided to leave the flowers the way they were to give the chocolate bunny/flower effect that you get when you buy them. The acrylic paint made it easy to clean up around the flowers. I thought about adding a layer of modge podge to seal the paint.



I am really happy with the way they turned out and I am thinking of adding to the wreath or to my mantle display.

These are adorable, Pam! You did a great job of getting in close around the flowers, I'm sure I'd make a mess of it

Such a great idea. They turned out looking like the real thing. Wonder how many people will try to pick one up and eat it.

Ack!  SO CUTE!  I am imagining the odd guest trying to take a bite, like the old wax fruit gag.
