Faux Chocolate Easter Bunnies

February 24, 2013
Last week on one of my days off, I painted a couple of bisque bunny figurines that I had purchased thrifting for $1 each.


Since the bunnies did not have a shiny finish, the acrylic paint stuck very well.  I mixed Walnut Noyer, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna.  Not sure of the proportions.  I winged it.  I brushed on several coats with a foam brush.  I then sealed them with a water based matte poly.





Real chocolate bunny and mine.  Mine is a little darker.


 I think he looks like a chocolate bunny.


 I decoupaged the label from a chocolate bunny wrapper to the outside of an old crock.


 This is bunny number two.




 I added some shredded brown paper and chocolate foil eggs to the crock.











Now to put away the crafting mess!

  7. Cute Carlene. They really does look real. I have a faux one that I stick under a cloche. My grandies still think it's real. Fun idea for the crock. Thinking I will start pulling out my Easter this week.

  16. These are adorable!!! I just purchased what looks to be the same two bunnies yesterday. I had hoped to cover with moss, but they are too small....this is perfect. Yours are so cute, thanks for the inspiration! Visting from BNOP.

  18. I like how you did the crock, and the bunny looks like the really good kind that tastes like expensive chocolate and not like the cheap ones that taste like greasy chemicals. Put that in a room with kids and you'll probably find teeth marks on it later.
