Moulded decorative bowl on foot with rabbit

Easter is just around the corner and with the right decorations, you can bring the Easter spirit right into your home. Imagine your own decorative bowl with cute bunnies adorning your living room and enchanting your guests. Our step-by-step instructions show you how you can easily create a stylish and elegant Easter decoration in black and white. Let your creativity run wild and create a unique decorative bowl that will not only be an eye-catcher at Easter, but all year round.

Step 1: Preparing the casting powder

This is how much casting powder you need for the different moulds:

Silicone casting mould "Fun stick candle holder": approx. 3 heaped tablespoons

Silicone casting mould "Round coaster", 18.5 cm: approx. 5 heaped tablespoons

Silicone full mould "Bunny", approx. 4 heaped tablespoons

"Bunny" silicone mould, approx. 3 heaped tablespoons

Start by mixing the moulding powder with water in a suitable container to form a creamy mixture. Make sure that no powder settles at the bottom and that all lumps are completely dissolved. This is important to ensure a uniform consistency and achieve a perfect casting result.

Step 2: Fill and de-aerate the moulds

Now pour the prepared mixture into the silicone casting mould of your choice. Gently shake or tap the mould on the table so that the mixture is evenly distributed and air bubbles can escape. This step is crucial to achieve an even structure.

Step 3: Demoulding and drying

After about an hour, you can carefully remove the cast moulds. Leave the moulded pieces to air dry for a few more hours so that they reach their optimum strength. If there are any rough edges, you can easily smooth them out with sandpaper.

Step 4: Assembling the decorative bowl

Use handicraft glue to carefully glue the "Fun stick candle holder" to the centre of the "Round coaster". The stability of this connection is important for the secure stand of your bowl.

Step 5: Decorative painting

Tape off the edge of the bowl so that you can apply perfect stripes with the black POSCA marker without soiling the rest of the surface. Use the white POSCA marker to draw small hearts on the bunnies that you will add later.

Step 6: Design the Easter wreath

Place the vine wreath on the decorative bowl and arrange the moulded bunnies on top so that they form a harmonious picture. Finally, glue on the Easter eggs to emphasise the Easter atmosphere.

Step 7: Optional protective varnish

If you want to use the decorative bowl as a fruit bowl, apply a food-safe varnish in advance to protect the surface and keep it hygienic.
