How I Made a Gorgeous Pottery Barn Bunny Candleholder Dupe for Less Than One Costs
This Pottery Barn bunny candleholder dupe is one of the easiest and most satisfying DIYs I’ve done for Easter—and the results are gorgeous. When I saw that Pottery Barn was selling their bunny candleholders for $29.50 each, I couldn’t help but do a double take. For a seasonal piece that’ll live in storage most of the year? That felt like way too much.
So instead, I grabbed a pack of four bunny candleholders from Target for $24.99, gave them a quick DIY makeover, and turned them into a high-end-looking set that’s just as cute (if not cuter) than the original. Budget win AND beautiful? Yes, please.

What You’ll Need
Here’s exactly what I used to create this Pottery Barn dupe:
- 4-pack bunny candleholders from Target – $24.99
- Acrylic paint – I used a soft cream shade for a neutral spring vibe
- Baking soda – to create that rustic, textured finish
- Paintbrush or foam brush
- Taper or LED candles
- Optional: protective surface for painting


How to Make the DIY Bunny Candleholders
- Mix your paint – Combine equal parts acrylic paint and baking soda. The baking soda gives the paint a thick, textured finish that mimics ceramic or stoneware.
- Apply evenly – Using your brush, cover the entire bunny, making sure to get into all the little nooks and details.
- Let dry fully – One coat was plenty for mine, but you can add a second for extra texture or color depth.
- Style and enjoy – Add taper candles and place them around your home for the cutest Easter vibe ever.
Why This DIY Dupe Is a Must-Try
- 4 for $24.99 vs. 1 for $29.50 — do the math, y’all
- It’s so easy, even if you’re not a “DIY person”
- Completely customizable for your color palette
- It looks designer, but no one will know it’s a hack
- Great for decorating without the post-holiday guilt

Styling Ideas
You can use these bunny candleholders anywhere:
- As a centerpiece for your Easter brunch table
- On a console table layered with moss, florals, and spring stems
- Mixed into a mantel setup with other neutral decor
- On open shelving with stacked books and ceramic pieces
They’re subtle enough to feel high-end, but still festive and fun.
If you love the look of Pottery Barn’s spring décor but not the price tag, this bunny candleholder DIY is a no-brainer. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it looks like it came straight from a designer shelf. And let’s be real—you’ll feel a little smug every time someone compliments them and you get to say, “Oh these? I made them!”
