Step #1: Set-Up Materials

To create your DIY Easter Bunny craft, you will need to gather and set up the following crafting materials:

Materials

• Acrylic Paint
• Easter Bunny Wood Cutouts
• Glitter (optional)
• Modge Podge Matte Finish
• Paintbrush Set
• Paint Palette
• Sander (optional)
• Scrap Paper/Newspaper
• Towel/Cloth (to clean paintbrushes between uses)
• Water Cup (to clean paintbrushes between uses)

Recommendations for Acrylic Paint Colors:

You will need brown acrylic paint for the eyes and nose.

Here are some pastel and spring colors to consider for painting your Easter Bunnies.

• Baby blue
• Lavendar
• Light pink
• Mint green
• Pale yellow

Lay down the paper on a hard surface to prevent paint messes.

Step #2: Paint the Front

If you choose to sand the wood for evenness, then do this before painting. I didn’t sand before, and my easter bunnies still turned out pretty cute.

After identifying at least three spring colors you want to use, squeeze them onto the paint palette.

Use the paintbrush to paint the front and sides of the Easter Bunny Wood Cutouts.

Allow the acrylic paint on the front to dry completely before painting the back and sides missed in the first application.

Add 2-3 coats of paint, and if you want to add glitter, wait until the last coat is still wet.

Don’t forget to wash your paintbrushes between uses with the water cup and towel, or rinse them in the sink, so the bristles aren’t damaged by dried paint.

Step #3: Paint the Back

I would recommend adding a second, and even a third, coat of paint for more even coverage and consistency.

Step #4: Add Eyes and Nose

Once the paint on the front and back of the Easter Bunny has dried completely, use a fine-tip paintbrush and brown acrylic paint to make three tiny brown circles.

• Two tiny circles for eyes
• One tiny circle for the nose

Allow the brown acrylic paint to dry completely.

Step #5: Apply Mod Podge

Using a soft paintbrush, apply a coat of Mod Podge evenly by moving the brush in the same direction to avoid brush marks.

You may use a smaller paintbrush to ensure the Mod Podge doesn’t build up on the edges and sides. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely.

Mod Podge seals the acrylic paint and protects it from yellowing and/or lifting. I like the matte Mod Podge because it dries clear, leaving a non-reflective, smooth finish.

Easter Bunny Craft: Clean Up Checklist

• Empty water in the paint cup
• Ensure lids are tight on paint and Mod Podge
• Rinse the acrylic paint and Mod Podge off the paintbrushes
• Throw away the scrap paper
• Wash the paint palette
• Wipe down the surface with a sanitizing spray
