Instructions:
1.
Roll 1” ball of aluminum foil and drop it into flowerpot.
This is done to take up space in the flowerpot so the bunny
will sit high atop of it.
2. To make the body
of the bunny, roll a 7/8” ball of White
clay into a cone. Stick straight pin halfway into body.
3. For head, roll an 11/16” ball of White clay. Press seed
beads in for eyes. Use pin to make squint lines around the eyes.
Form a 1/8” ball of Pink Granitex into a triangle shape
for the nose. Use pin to draw a mouth and to draw a line from
the nose
to the mouth. Use pink chalk to blush the cheeks.
4.
To make ears roll two ½” balls of White. Shape
into ears, pointed at top, wider in middle, tapered at
bottom. Line with Pink Granitex and curl the top ends over.
Attach to head.
5. To make arms, roll two ½” balls of White
into tapered logs. Attach to the body.
6. To make legs, roll two 9/16” balls into tapered logs.
Make an oval foot shape at the end of the roll. Use pin
to make paw prints and chalk with pink. Attach to the body.
7. Make a bow of Pink Granitex by using heart cutters and
a small circle in the middle.
Attach to the head in between the ears.
8. Fill top of flowerpot with a 1 3/8” ball of Brown Granitex
that has been flattened into a circle. Stick a straight pin into
the center. Using the Let
It Bloom Push Mold, shape various colors
of flowers and leaves and attach to the rim of pot
9. Place bunny on pot and form an Easter egg for the
bunny to hold. The egg can be any color; this one
is Purple and
decorated with
Yellow clay that has been run through garlic press.
10. To make base, press out a 2” wide piece of clay that
is a mixture of Green and White. The shade of green should be a
mint color. Nestle the flowerpot into the base.
11. Make a basket shape from Raw Sienna. A 7/8” ball formed
as a “pinch pot” will make a great basket. Fill with
Green “grass” made in the garlic press. Make multi
colored Easter eggs and place in the basket. Roll a log of Raw
Sienna and attach it as the handle. Press the whole basket onto
the base.
12. Decorate the base with more flowers formed
from the Let It Bloom Push Mold.
13. Cut a piece of wire approximately 6” long. Use the hobby
pliers to twist the end of the wire around two and half times.
It should be wound tightly enough to hold a picture securely. Place
behind the basket. Bake according to manufacturer’s directions.
It may be necessary to glue the flowerpot to the base if it doesn’t
stick while baking.
