Step 1: Prepare the perfect castings

Start by adding approx. 9 heaped tablespoons of casting powder to a mixing cup. Slowly add water and stir the mixture vigorously until there are no more lumps and a thick paste has formed. For the large bunny, carefully pour the mixture into the PET casting mould, taking care to only fill the mould to about 0.5 cm below the rim. This makes it easier to remove the moulding after it has dried. Tap the mould lightly on the surface several times so that any air bubbles can escape. For the little bunny, you will need about 4 heaped tablespoons of casting powder and proceed in the same way.

Tip: Make sure there are no lumps when mixing to achieve the best possible result.

Step 2: Dry and demould the castings

Leave the casting compound to rest for approx. 2 hours so that it dries sufficiently. Then turn the mould over and press evenly on the mould with the flat of your hand to release the casting from the base. Now hold the casting mould in your hands and gently tap it on the surface from all sides until the casting slowly slips out of the mould. Smooth the edges of the bunnies with a little sandpaper for a clean finish. Now leave the bunnies to dry completely for a further 8 hours or so.

Step 3: Creatively decorate the bunnies

Break off a few blossoms from a cherry blossom branch and carefully trim the plastic parts on the back with scissors. Attach the flowers and feathers to your bunny using handicraft glue. To give the bunny the finishing touch, tie a matching organza ribbon around the body and knot it elegantly. You can also glue feathers and other scatter decorations onto this ribbon to give your bunny a personalised touch.
