Equipment

  • 1 Glue Gun
  • 1 Pair of wire cutters

Materials

  • Large dough bowl
  • Two large bunches of faux ivy
  • Faux flowers of your choice
  • Styrofoam
  • Moss
  • Curly willow twigs
  • Small vases
  • Easter rabbit figurines
  • Brown spray paint

Instructions

  • Step 1: Spray Paint Your Bunnies
  • First, start by spray painting your bunnies. Make sure to do this outside or in a well-ventilated area for safety.
  • Hold your can of spray paint about 6 to 8 inches away from your bunnies and use light, even strokes to avoid drips. Let the first coat dry completely before adding a second coat.
  • Continue spraying additional coats as needed until each one is evenly covered and no spots are showing through. The goal is to give your bunnies a smooth, chocolate-like finish.
  • When you're done, you'll have adorable realistic-looking chocolate bunnies for the perfect simple Easter table decorations.
  • Step 2: Create a Base for Your Centerpiece
  • To start, grab a flat dough bowl to use as your base. If you're using faux florals, secure a piece of Styrofoam to the bottom of the bowl with hot glue.
  • Once that’s in place, cover the foam with moss to give the arrangement a natural, finished look.
  • Then use a hot glue to attach the moss, and add a few floral pins if needed to help keep everything nice and secure.
  • Step 3: Add Your First Bunny
  • Next, it’s time to add your first painted chocolate bunny. Pick the spot where you’d like it to go and gently press it into the moss-covered foam.
  • Once you're happy with the placement, use a hot glue gun to secure it so it stays put. This little bunny sets the tone for the whole arrangement, so take your time finding just the right spot.
  • Step 4: Arrange Some Greenery
  • Once your first bunny is in place, add two large bundles of ivy on either side. You can simply press the ivy stems into the floral foam to secure them, or use a few floral pins if you want to make sure everything stays in place.
  • You can also cut your ivy stems apart to spread them out more if you'd like. Once all of your greenery is in place, add your second rabbit or any other Easter decorations you might want to use in your arrangement.
  • Step 5: Add Your Faux Flowers
  • To finish your DIY Easter centerpiece, gradually add faux flowers to your arrangement.
  • Start by adding your focal flowers. Place larger flowers like roses, peonies, and ranuculus in the center, slightly angled outward. Keep them low to maintain the centerpiece’s profile.
  • Next, start filling in your centerpiece with smaller blooms. Tuck flowers like tulips and daffodils around your focal points, nestling them into the ivy and moss.
  • Try to space them out evenly to create a balanced, natural look. Keep working around your dough bowl, filling in the empty spaces as you go.
  • If you’d like, you can also mix in a bit of extra greenery to add more texture and depth to your DIY Easter centerpiece.
  • I also added a few curly willow branches for a more natural, whimsical touch. I love using it in many of my floral arrangement because it adds that little something extra.
