Kiki The Polymer Clay Valentine Bunny

Deborah Liu | Mommy School

For my daughter's 7th birthday, she asked for 7 bunnies to go on her cake. So I set about making them for her one by one. This is the one she requested with a heart!

Supplies:

Polymer clay - beige, dark brown, and black
Pin tool
1" eye pin
Blush and Q-Tip

Body, Arms, and Legs:

Shape the oval body and press down on the paper. Add a small ball of clay on the back for a tail to help it stand up.
Make two large long strips, and press the foot up at the end. Pinch the side down. Add little toe marks on the foot.
Make two smaller long strips and flatten so that one side is flat and the other is slightly rounded. Press little finger marks on one end.

Head:

Make a ball for the head.
Create two long tear drop shapes. Flatten and fold to make ears.
Take a piece of black clay and make small dots.

Assembly:

Press the face down firmly on the cupcake bottom.
Add the eye pin to the top and push all of the way down.

Baking / Finishing:

Bake at 275 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Take a q-tip and some blush and add a bit of color onto the cheeks and ears of the bunny.

And here is your Valentine's bunny!
