Spoiler: These DIY Easter decorations will look good enough to eat!

Not only is this DIY project affordable, but it’s also versatile! You can use any Easter figurines or items you already have, such as ceramic or plastic bunnies, and give them a new life with this chocolate bunny makeover like I did.

I started by painting a 9-inch plastic bunny and yellow resin egg decor from Dollar Tree and then moved onto some pieces in my Easter storage bin.

So gather your supplies, spray paint, and get creative with your Easter decor! You’ll have a house filled with cute, chocolate-inspired touches to bring lots of smiles this year.

My Easter table looks so cohesive and adorable now! 
If you want to go the extra mile, consider placing your new chocolate bunny decorations on a festive tablescape, or using them as centerpieces for your Easter brunch. I paired mine with green moss and pastel-colored accents like pink, mint, or lavender for a beautiful spring look!

I love the look of adding a bow around the bunny’s neck too! So cute and festive.

Don’t forget to check out your local thrift stores for inexpensive bunnies to paint too! This could be a fun activity to gather some pals and create together.

    How many spray cans did you use for this?

    • Lina

      Hi Cindy! Just one and lots left in my can. Thanks!

  2. Arlene

    Wow, everything looks gorgeous and taste tempting! Do you have to do any pre-prep to the items before painting them?

    • Lina

      Thanks so much! 🫶❤️ I do wipe down and remove any stickers but that was basically it. Just a few light coats of spray paint. Let dry in between coats.

  3. Sarah

    Lina, your table looks adorable! I purchased the bunnies (to fill) but now I want to go back and get a couple more for my table too. I never would have thought of this without your post. Please keep the great ideas (and recipes too) onlineing. I use both and have had wonderful results on everything. Thank you!!

    • Lina

      Oh thanks so much for the sweet onlinement! I am glad you liked this craft. Thanks for stopping by Sarah!

    I did this with the little unfinished ceramic bunnies that they sold at the dollar tree in the craft area (not sure if they still sell them). I pulled the metal loops out of the top of their heads with pliers and used a brush and brown acrylic paint that I already had on hand instead of the multicolor paint pots that came with it.

      What a fun idea to do with unfinished ceramic bunnies from the Dollar Tree too, Gigi! Thanks for sharing another fun idea to create these “chocolate” decor pieces!
