Creative Easter decorations: make your own charming watering bunnies

Step 1: Mixing the casting compound

Start by mixing the casting powder. Take about four tablespoons of casting powder and slowly mix it with water until you have a creamy, smooth mixture. The consistency should be similar to that of thick cream to achieve the best result. Make sure there are no lumps so that your bunnies are even and stable.

Step 2: Fill the molds

Now comes the exciting part: fill the prepared casting compound into your casting molds for the bunnies. A little tip: tap the molds lightly to release any air bubbles in the mixture and achieve a flawless result. Leave the filled molds to cool and dry for around 30 minutes.

Step 3: Remove the bunnies from the mold

Once the drying time has elapsed, you can carefully remove your bunnies from the molds. Be particularly careful not to damage the fine details. If the edges of the bunny are still a little uneven, you can carefully smooth them with sandpaper . This will give your bunny the finishing touch and ensure a professional look.

Step 4: Further drying

You're almost done! Leave the cast bunnies to dry completely for another 12 hours. This extra Time to dry: ensures that the bunnies are firm enough to give pleasure for a long time and serve as a stable decoration.

Step 5: Decorate the vase

While your bunnies are drying, you can start decorating your bottle vase VBS Bottle vase. Wrap a nice piece of ribbon around the vase and secure it well. This simple but effective decoration rounds off the overall look. Then use fresh or artificial tulips and drape them in your vase - this will add a cheerful splash of color to your Easter landscape.

Step 6: Glue the bunnies to the wooden disk

Now it's the dried bunnies' turn: place a total of five large and five small bunnies on a wooden disc. You can VBS handicraft glue to attach the bunnies securely. Arrange them however you like and let your creativity run wild to create a unique decorative piece that will delight your guests.
