hi guys in today's video i thought i will share with you a cool easter hack
so stick around and let's get started
so guys to start off this project you will need to get yourself a few foam bunnies along with
some cement mix here i'm using quick dry cement mix which i got from my local hardware stove
next i went ahead and put all my gloves on and then ran my fingers through my cement mix to make
sure that there were no lumps in my cement before i went ahead and added water afterwards i went
ahead and started adding my water gradually till i got my desired consistency so guys at this stage
the desired consistency for your cement mix should be a bit of a runny consistency the reason so by
having a runny consistency you are able to apply your cement mix easily onto your foam bunnies
once you're done with your mix this is how a runny consistency should look like now my mix is
all ready but before i went ahead and started on my next step i used the cooling rack to place my
bunnies on this way i was able to move my bunnies to a sunny place if i wanted it to dry quicker
afterwards i went ahead and took my foam bunnies and dipped them into my cement mix
and made sure i covered them all over next i went ahead and repeated this dipping process
on all of my foam bunnies and my foam carrots and set it aside to dry
afterwards i went ahead and used a easter egg silicone mold tray
and filled it up with my remaining cement mix
next once i was done filling it all up i then wiped it down clean and took off all of the
excess cement mix gave it a bit of a wiggle to release any air bubbles and set it aside to dry
24 hours later all of my foam products are dry and now the next step is to give it a bit of a sanding
here i'm using an 80 grit sandpaper to give it a slight sanding
once i was done i used a damp rag and wiped them down clean
next i wanted to give my bunnies a bit of texture so i decided to paint them using liquid stone
so guys liquid stone is a paint that has pigments of sand in it it gives texture to anything you
paint on so this paint was perfect for this project i got this from my local hardware stove
i gave all of my bunnies a generous coat of paint and set it aside to dry
now my bunnies are all dry but i still wanted these bunnies to have a bit of a stoney look
so i decided to smudge some white paint on my bunnies to give that stone look at this
stage guys you can entirely skip this smudging process if you all are happy with the plain look
i repeated the smudging process on all of my bunnies and set it aside to dry
once my bunnies were dry i decided to tie a bow on them here i'm using an easter themed ribbon that
says happy easter at this stage guys you could use any type of ribbon you already got in hand
afterwards i decided to wrap around some jute twine on my concrete carrots
next using my glue gun i dabbed a little bit of glue onto my twine and wrapped it halfway through
my carrot i repeated this process on all three of my carrots afterwards i decided to make a slightly
elevated stand using terracotta sauces to place my bunnies on next all i did was take two different
sizes of terracotta sauces and afterwards using my hot glue along with some gorilla glue i glued them
together as you can see next once my stand was all dry i decided to give it a white wash finish
so guys how i went about getting this effect was i used a little bit of chalk paint which
i've already got in hand that i diluted in water afterwards i used a damp rag
and dipped the rag into my paint and then brushed it onto my stand until i got my desired effect
i repeated this process in between drawings until i got my desired effect
now our stand is done and now it's time to put it together using our bunnies
so guys before we go ahead and start putting our bunnies onto our crease
i decided to use some artificial turf which i've already got in hand
as the base of our tray next i went ahead and traced my tray onto my turf and then cut
it to size now my base is all done and it's time to start decorating using our bunnies
next i went ahead and used my largest bunny and placed it onto the center of my elevated tray
afterwards i placed a smaller bunny just next to it
next i decided to use some moss and some leaf cuttings without already cutting hand
to place it in between my bunnies to give it a woodsy look
afterwards to finish off this look i went ahead and placed some easter eggs
which i made using my molds earlier so guys i went ahead and used the
same decorating technique and used my other easter bunny along with my carrots
so this is how my 4 concrete easter bunny turned out guys and i'm so in love with them
these could be used as centerpieces on your dining table or even used
individually as decorative pieces around your home hope you guys like it
afterwards i went ahead and used the terracola pot which i've already got in hand that was painted
in white to be used as a table name holder next i used my easter ribbon and tied a bow onto it
afterwards using the same artificial turf i cut out a circle that fits my terracotta pot
next i went ahead and filled up my terracotta pot with some paper towels afterwards i placed
my cut out turf onto my terracotta pot now my pot is all ready and it's time to start decorating it
next i went ahead and placed my small bunny onto my pot
afterwards i used my moss and my leaf cutouts to decorate it
next i went ahead and place my concrete egg and then using some cork board which
i've already got in hand i cut out a tag so that i can write a name on it
this is how my tag looked once it was cut afterwards i took a pen and wrote my name on it
next i placed it into my pot next to my bunny
so guys now my table name holder is all done and this is how it turned out hope you guys like it
