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.
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!
Joining Brenday for Tweak It Tuesday.
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.
Now to put away the crafting mess!

Very "sweet" idea!

Your painted bunnies look good enough to eat! Now you've got me craving chocolate!
ReplyDeleteCute 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.

Hi Carlene,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your bunny looks good enough to eat..he looks so real and yummy LOL. I know I can't eat him, but he really does look enough to eat his ears off first.
You are so creative! I love him.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
Sheer awesomeness Carlene. I am sitting here eating chocolate Peepsters right this minute. hugs friend, olive
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteWatch the teeth. I know someone will try to bight 'em because they REALLY look like quality chocolate. So cute I must find some chalkware bunnies and copy. Cute Cute Cute
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHow cute...and what a "sweet" idea! I love the bunnies and your book page bunny as well. I will be looking for a bunny to do this with soon! I am your newest follower and I hope you will stop by and visit me sometime as well!

ReplyDeleteCarlene..those bunnies are so stinkin cute I can't stand it! You did a great job of making them look like real chocolate! That crock is the perfect place for the one to live.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this!!! I have collected faux chocolate bunnies for years, but never thought to paint my own. Can't wait to try it out! Jane
ReplyDeleteSooo cute and clever, I think you got the color just right. What a clever way to display him in the crock along with the paper and eggs.
