- Resin bunnies sit in the highest-margin tier of seasonal decor — $32–$55 retail with under $8 in materials.
- UV DTF decals skip the painted-detail step that used to make bunnies a 4-hour project.
- Pearl and clear pigments outsell pastels for non-Easter buyers — lean into year-round positioning.
- A coordinated set of three (small, medium, large) photographs as a collection and sells as a bundle.
- List 4–6 weeks before Easter, and keep selling through May with "spring decor" keywords.
Resin bunnies have outgrown the Easter-only craft category — in pearl or clear finishes with floral UV DTF accents, they read as year-round modern decor. For makers who sell, they're a high-margin product that batches well and photographs beautifully for Etsy listings. This walkthrough covers the full process: mold prep, resin pouring, pigment work, and how to apply UV DTF decals cleanly to a cured surface.
Why Resin Bunnies Sell Year-Round (Not Just Easter)
Bunny decor used to mean pastel Easter aesthetics — sold for 3 weeks in April and shoved in a box for the rest of the year. UV DTF changed that. With clear or pearl resin and modern floral decals, bunnies now fit modern farmhouse, boho, and minimalist decor year-round.
That extension matters for your shop. Pieces that read "spring" sell for 6–8 weeks; pieces that read "modern decor with a bunny shape" sell for 12 months. The same mold produces both products — only the colorway and decal change.

Supplies You Need
- Silicone bunny mold (3D or flat profile depending on your display goal)
- 2-part epoxy resin or UV resin for smaller pieces
- Pigment set: opaque for solid colors, translucent for layered effects
- UV DTF decals sized to fit the bunny's body or face
- Mixing cups, stirring sticks, gloves
- UV lamp if working with UV resin, or counter space and time for epoxy cure
Step-by-Step: Cast Your First Bunny
Step 1: Prep the Workspace
Work on a flat surface covered with a silicone mat or wax paper. Wear gloves. Ventilation matters with epoxy — open a window if you're working with anything other than UV resin.
Step 2: Measure and Mix the Resin
Follow the manufacturer's ratio exactly — 1:1 by volume for most epoxy kits. Mix slowly for 2–3 minutes to avoid introducing bubbles. Scrape the sides and bottom of the cup so the cure is even.
Step 3: Add Pigment
Add pigment in small drops, stir, and check the color. For pearl finishes, use a translucent pigment with a hint of mica powder. For clear bunnies, skip pigment entirely — the modern look is just clear resin with the UV DTF design as the only color.
Step 4: Pour Into the Mold
Pour slowly to minimize bubbles. Tap the mold gently on the counter to release trapped air. For larger bunnies, pour in 2 layers (let the first set partially) to avoid heat distortion.
Step 5: Let It Cure
Epoxy: 24 hours minimum for full cure, longer for larger pieces. UV resin: 2–4 minutes under a 36W or higher UV lamp. Don't demold early — soft resin warps.
Step 6: Apply UV DTF Decal
Once cured and demolded, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol. Position the UV DTF decal, smooth from center outward with a fingernail or popsicle stick, and peel away the carrier sheet slowly. Done.
Display and Sell as a Coordinated Set
One bunny is a cute piece. Three bunnies in graduated sizes (small, medium, large) is a collection. Coordinated sets photograph as a curated lineup and sell as a bundle, pushing average order value from $35 to $75–$95 in one move.
Style your product photos in context: bunnies on a mantel with a small spring wreath, on a console with a vase of tulips, or grouped on a shelf with a candle. Buyers need to see how the piece fits in a real space, not just on a white background.
Pricing for Etsy and Craft Fairs
Material cost per bunny: $5–$8 depending on size and mold. Retail: $22–$35 for small bunnies, $38–$55 for medium, $55–$80 for large statement pieces. Coordinated 3-piece sets: $75–$120.
List 4–6 weeks before Easter for the SEO ramp, but use spring-decor keywords ("modern spring decor," "minimalist bunny decor," "neutral bunny figurine") so the listing keeps selling through May and June.
