How-To Bunny Decor DIY
To start, you want to put a coat of chalk paint on your terracotta pot and let it dry.
Pull off a piece of paper clay and warm it up with your hands. Roll into into a ball and then press it down firmly into the mould.
Trim off excess clay using a knife, debit card, or kitchen utensil.
Then, gently remove the clay from the mould.
Apply a generous layer of wood glue to the back of your mould and adhere it to the terracotta pot.
Allow the mould to dry for 10-20 minutes, until a slight crust forms on the paper clay.
Paint the pot and the rabbit mould. To achieve an aged, vintage look, use several different colors of paint and layer them on top of one another. Use a dry brushing technique. Put a very small amount of paint on your brush, brush it off, and then gently drag your brush across the pot. This will “highlight” the textures and details without giving you full coverage.
Finally, add your faux plan into the pot and fill the outer rim with moss.
