Faux Chocolate Bunny Centerpiece

Turn a plastic bunny into a faux chocolate bunny that looks adorable as part of an Easter centerpiece.

Ingredients

  • Plastic Bunny Container
  • Brown Gloss Spray Paint
  • Paint Pens blue, pink, white, optional
  • 1 yard Narrow Ribbon
  • Small Piece of Scrap Wood
  • Easter basket, grass, eggs

Instructions

  • Prop halves of plastic bunny up on plastic cups on a large piece of cardboard. Using 2-3 light coats, spray paint both halves brown, making sure to paint the "lip" around the edges as well. Also paint the piece of scrap wood.

  • Place the bunny inside the basket. If the basket is tall, you may want to set it on another piece of scrap wood or another item to raise it up so the bottom of the bunny is level with the top of the basket. Fill the basket with Easter grass to cover the base. Tie a ribbon around the bunny's neck. Add Easter eggs if desired.
