Remember those viral terracotta pumpkins from this past fall that EVERYONE was making? Well it’s almost Spring, so that means we need some terracotta bunnies! This project is so simple and satisfying. It’s the perfect way to upcycle a few thrifted bunnies or bunnies that have lost their style over the years. They lend the perfect garden nod to any spring display!
For supplies I like to use a combination of different acrylic paint colors to achieve the perfect terracotta color. My three favorites are Folkart Terra Cotta – Dusty Trail, Delta Cermacoat – Terra Cotta, and Apple Barrel – Chesnut. You will also need a small paint brush, corn starch and a paper towel. You can use any type of bunny, but a glossier bunny may require a few additional coats of paint.
SUPPLIES
- Acyrlic Paint in Terra Cotta Coloring (I use Folkart Terra Cotta – Dusty Trail, Delta Cermacoat – Terra Cotta, and Apple Barrel – Chesnut.

Directions
Mix your paint colors to create a perfect terracotta color. Paint your bunny, you may have to do a few coats of paint. Let dry. Use a small amount of corn starch to cover your bunny and wipe away excess with a paper towel.
So which is your favorite – terracotta pumpkins or terracotta bunnies? I think I side with the bunnies as they just belong in the garden with all of that pretty terracotta pottery!
