Step 1: Prepare the modelling clay

Cut off any amount of modelling clay. Make sure that the amount is sufficient for the bunny's body and tail. Knead the modelling clay thoroughly until it is smooth and malleable. This preparation ensures that the clay does not tear and makes modelling easier. If you want to use different colours, decide now whether you want to use the same colour for the body and tail or combine different shades.

Step 2: Mould the body and tail

Modelling a bunny body from the dough. The classic shape would be a round body, but there are no limits to your imagination. Also mould a small tail and attach it to the appropriate part of the body. Use modelling tools to create smooth and clean transitions between the parts. These tools will help you to smooth out the mass and remove any unevenness. A little trick: With a little water, you can simply smooth out cracks and unevenness.

Step 3: Shape the face

To give the bunny a face, carve a small "X" into the clay as a mouth.

Step 4: Cut and attach the ears

Depending on the size of your modelled bunny, cut the ears out of wooden spatulas. Wooden spatulas are sturdy and can be easily cut with craft scissors. Colour the inside of the ears with a marker to give them more expression. Carefully plug the finished ears into the bunny's head.

Step 5: Dry and finish

Now leave your bunnies to dry completely. Depending on the size of the figures and the room conditions, this may take a few hours. After drying, you can sand the surface of your bunnies smooth with fine sandpaper if necessary. This will give you a beautifully smooth surface that looks professional.
