This is a bunny tutorial I created way back in 2008.

I originally made this tutorial for polymer clay, but you can use homemade clay or air-dry clay.

If you use air-dry or homemade clay, please remember to ignore the baking instructions.

Let me know if you make a bunny by this tutorial. And be sure to take some pictures too. I’d love to see your creative little bunnies.

1/4 inch round ball on one end of the oblong body.
1/2 inch head ball at the other end of oblong body.
4 small oblong balls in feet positions.
2 cone shapes on top of head for ears

Next you need:
1 tiny light pink ball of clay

Press the clay in place as follows:

1 light pink ball in nose position
Take a toothpick and draw a smile
and dent the eyes to make pupils

If you’re using air dry clay, you’re finished. Set your Bunny sculpt somewhere safe and let it dry.

If you’re using bakeable clay then go to the next steps.

Before baking,
Pierce the body underneath to allow
clay to bake thoroughly so it won’t
crack or poof or something.

Bake the polymer clay bunny at the manufacturers recommended temperature and for the recommended length of time.
Allow bunny to cool before touching.
Tah – dah, you’re done and have a wee little bunny figurine.

I like this little bunny. It still looks as pretty as it did when I originally sculpted it.

Wishing you all a hoppy good time crafting.
