Let’s have a look at some interesting Easter Craft Ideas!

It’s time to relax! Finally, I am having some “spare time”!!!! so I can do what I like most: “arts and crafts”!… and it’s probably a good excuse to eat some chocolates!

What are you doing this Easter?

It would be great to spend time with family and especially if you have small children as they are going to be on “school holidays”!!! You might want to try a new art media, finish a project or you are looking for inspiration? I hope you make the most of this Easter break! Let me know what you are up to! 

 

In this post, you will find two very easy polymer clay Easter bunny projects and other ideas for Easter arts & crafts to make at home.

I hope you enjoy.

Polymer Clay Easter Craft Ideas

Perhaps you are already into polymer clay yourself? but the children will be getting most of your attention? …. so why not let the kids play with modelling clay while you are making your projects with Polymer clay?

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny – Easter Craft Ideas to Sell

For the Polymer clay fanatics (like me), to make this Easter Bunny you will need 5 different polymer clay colors (rose, white, green, black, red, yellow and lavender) Off course you can use any colors you want, so let your imagination fly.

You also need a tissue blade or polymer clay slicer, a tooth pick and an acrylic roller or a pasta machine

This is a very easy project, we will start making the ears, then the face, feet and body and we will assemble. Follow step by step below:

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Ears

After rolling the rose clay with the acrylic roller or pasta machine cut two same size rectangles with your blade.

do the same with the white clay.

Bend the blade carefully and cut the two pieces of  white clay as above

Add the white clay on top of the rose clay and cut the rose clay around matching with the shape of the white clay but leave a small edge around, so you still see the rose clay.

See the bunny ears completed on top left of the picture below.

Polymer Clay Easter Bunny Eyes

Roll the white clay with the acrylic roller or pasta machine. Using a straw cut two circles.

Make a very thin sausage with the black clay and cut two very small pieces of the black sausage and roll it making two small balls. These will be the pupils of the bunny eyes.

First, add the eyes then make a very small ball with the red clay for the nose and cut two circles of the lavender or dark pink clay for the cheeks (the same as you made the white circle for the eyes-cut with the straw)

We can’t forget the big front teeth!! So, cut a small square of the white clay and cut half of the way.

Add the teeth first, then add the cheeks. Using a toothpick make small holes on the cheeks.

Another idea for Easter is to make your own jar of Easter eggs with a bespoke lid decorated with polymer clay.

Roll the clay through the pasta machine or with an acrylic roller. (not too thin) and cut it slightly bigger than the size of the lid – 1 cm (1/4″)

Start by turning the clay over the lid edges

It will take a while, but the result is great, so take your time and enjoy the process. Leave a space for the bunny.
