I have used this technique for years, but it’s fun to use it on a smaller scale and create a faux stone finish on thrifted items. I found some super cheap brightly painted rabbits at the antique store a while back and right when I saw them I knew I wanted to give them a little cozy cottage makeover. Cope and I did a little momma and me makeover to the rabbits. The DIY is so easy a 4-year-old can do it.

I wanted to create a stone like finish on the rabbits somewhat similar to [these rabbits from pottery barn], but in a lighter tone. So, I grabbed a favorite paint color (a grayish or stone like paint color) and some white wax. Here are the super simple steps:

• One quick coat of the paint.
• After it was dry, apply one coat of white wax and then wipe the wax off.

That’s it! Now you have beautiful DIY stone rabbits to fit into your cozy cottage spring décor.

I used [this paint here in my DIY folder] in the color Algonquin & the [white or liming wax here] for the rabbits and I love how they turned out! I quickly styled them here to share with you, but you will be seeing them around the house in other looks. You can also apply more coats of white wax to get more of a stone look, but I just did one here to show you the DIY. You can see a video tutorial on my Instagram [HERE].
