Creative Easter decorations: casting and decorating bunnies yourself

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 mold; make sure to fill the mold only to about 0.5 cm below the rim. This makes it easier to remove the casting after it has dried. Tap the mold 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 result.

Step 2: Dry and demold the castings

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

Step 3: Decorate the bunnies creatively

Break off a few blossoms from a cherry blossom branch and carefully cut 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 decoration onto this ribbon to give your bunny an individual touch.
