Carefully paint the wood frame. Let dry.
TIP: Paint a second coat for an opaque coverage and let dry.

#@#

Remove the back of your fillable bunny and set discard.

#@#

Lay a piece (or two) of palette paper onto your level working surface. Place your fillable bunny on your protected working surface with the opening facing up.

#@#

Mix enough resin to cover the acrylic surface of your bunny.
TIP: Mix equal parts resin and hardener in a disposable cup as directed on the packaging. Use a torch (or spray with alcohol) to remove bubbles in resin.

#@#

Use tweezers to carefully place dried flowers and greenery in each ear section. Overlap the flowers for a collage affect, as shown. Set aside to dry for about 8 hours (or overnight).

#@#

Mix a small amount of resin. Separate into two disposable cups.

#@#

Add a few Gold flakes to one of the cups of resin and mix well.
TIP: Break up the flakes with your craft stick as you stir so there are no large pieces.

#@#

Pour the Gold flake resin down the middle of each ear section.

#@#

Pour the clear resin around the Gold flake resin. Set aside to dry for about 8 hours (or overnight).
TIP: The goal is to allow the Gold flake resin to spread out a little bit but not to spread down into the body of your bunny. If needed, stack a few craft sticks and place underneath the bottom of the bunny to elevate in order to the Gold flake resin in the ear section.

#@#

Mix enough resin to fill about half of the ear sections.
TIP: Reduce some of the elevation by removing a few craft sticks but you still want the bottom elevated, so the resin is concentrated to the bunny section.

#@#

Pour some resin in the ear sections and use a torch (or spray with alcohol) to remove bubbles. Set aside to dry for about 8 hours (or overnight).

#@#

Remove craft sticks from the bottom section of the bunny so it is level.
TIP: The top section should have dry resin that is slanted due to the elevation.

#@#

Mix a large amount of resin. Separate some of the resin into a separate cup to remain clear.

#@#

Add glitter (or mix glitters) into the larger amount of the resin. Mix well.

#@#

Pour the glitter resin into the feet, body and head sections up to the level of the ear section. Set aside to dry for about 8 hours (or overnight).
TIP: It can overlap slightly but you do not want the glitter resin to "bleed" into too much of the ear section. Elevate the ears side, if needed. Use the image as a guide.

#@#

Mix another batch of resin. Pour into bunny the remaining space until it is filled and level. Use a torch (or spray with alcohol) to remove bubbles. Set aside to dry for about 8 hours (or overnight).
