WHY I LOVE THIS PROJECT

I love this project because it is genuinely creative and unique. There are so many things you can do with a terracotta pot, but adding a clay bunny card holder takes things to a new creative level.

This is also a craft that can be personalized depending on your own decorative style.

SUPPLIES NEEDED

• Crayola model magic clay (singular pack per peep)
• Extra fine craft glitter
• Small terracotta pot
• Basket filler
• Lavender paint (for pot) and brown paint (for peep eyes)
• Mod Podge
  
• Rolling pin
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Craft knife
• Ribbon of choice
• Ball point pen for peep eyes (can also use the end of a paintbrush)

TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE AN EASTER GIFT CARD HOLDER

Just follow this quick step-by-step tutorial:

1. Split the clay in half and roll it out using the rolling pin. Roll the clay to a half-inch thickness for the base of the peep.
   
2. Form the clay into an oval shape. Mold the back into a tail by pinching the back. Be sure to keep the base smooth.
3. Shape the neck and head of the peep by rolling it into a short rope-like shape. Stand it up and begin to smooth downwards using fingers to create a Hershey kiss-like shape. Keep the bottom the same width as the base. Create a short neck and pinch in the front to create a beak.
4. Attach the neck to the base and smooth out the seams.
5. Use a craft knife to carefully create a slit behind the head. This will create the groove for the gift card to fit nicely and snugly.
   
6. Allow the clay peep to dry completely before adding a layer of mod podge and glitter. Allow the mod podge and glitter to dry completely as well.
7. Using a pen or the end of a paintbrush, create dots for the eyes on each side of the beak.
   
8. Paint the terra cotta pot any color of your choice. Once dried, add filler, a ribbon, and place the card holder inside.

** TIP: Make sure the card holder groove is deep enough before allowing it to dry.
