I ended up using different tapes. but it's all from the Dollar Tree now you're going to need your glue gun and you're going to need a pair of scissors, a pair of elastics and I actually just used cotton balls but if you have pom poms that would work too and then you're just going to need some kind of yarn or white twine and a small piece of floral wire or you can use a chenille stem so to start I'm going to use a bath salts container and the easiest way to get it inside.

As long as you cut it just above the heel and after you do that you will simply dress your bunny. Now what I noticed was where the finger band is. Make sure you put it on the back of the bunny because it doesn't quite fit. Just when it was in the front and now take your cord or your rope and cut it into lengths of about eight inches. I'm going to put three whiskers on my bunny so I cut three separate sections to make the whiskers and once you have them. just tie them around the nose and it's nice because it also secures where the elastic band is so if the band comes loose the whiskers will make sure the nose stays intact.

I chose to have three whiskers, but you could have more if you want and Once you have them all tied around your nose, you can trim them a little. I then used my glue gun to secure the sock to the bunny's body and also be careful because whenever you work with the glue gun it is very easy to get. burnt and then I just glued the other side and now to make bunny ears my sock was non slip on one side but I'm just going to use the front and let the non slip on the back take the top half of your bunny and you go You're going to cut right down the center of the sock and then you're just going to make a bunch of little knots, this will also prevent the elastic band, if it breaks, from releasing all your bath salts everywhere. and it also gives the bunny a little bit taller head so after you do that you just take your sock and place it over the top of the bunny and that's how you'll decide how big your ears will be.
You just have to put it down and this will give you a good idea of ​​where you are going to cut the ears and where you need to stop cutting, so put the button down and now take your scissors and cut straight through. in the center of the sock, then take five chenille stems, we're going to need two for each ear and then one to secure the ears together, just fold it in half and twist them to give them a little integrity and you're going to do this for both ears . You will use the last chenille stem to attach the ears.
I like to test them inside the ears before trying to glue them in case they are too big or too small, but they seem to make it perfect, so I use that chenille stem and just secure the ends of what will be the bunny's ears, then I use the glue gun and hot glue them to the top of the bunny's head, why bunny down and place the stems inside. of the ears, be very careful with your glue gun, simply apply a drop of glue and then fold the sock inside itself and after you do that on one ear you will just do it on the other one again, glue the edges with hot glue. the fabric and then fold the fabric over itself and form a seamless edge.
Pick up the bunny and use your glue gun to seal the hole at the top of the bunny's head and now you can see that the bunny is starting to take shape. Also at this point make sure the ears are bent and the tubing units are in the proper place. Now turn the bunny over and use your glue gun to attach the bottom sock to the top sock and be very careful because the hot glue can easily see through. For the fabric, I chose this Easter egg ribbon I bought at the

dollar

tree

as a bowl for my bunny.
I cut approximately 18 inches of ribbon. I wanted a bow that was too exaggerated, but if you want a smaller one, you can cut a smaller ribbon. So I just folded it in half and then folded each half towards the center and overlapped them slightly. I cut a piece of floral wire, but you can use a chenille stem, folded the bow in half, pinched it in the middle and then used it. the piece of wire to hold them together and it's a wire ribbon so it's really easy to open up and get it into a nice shape, then I just removed the extra wire and I wanted to make the center a little fancier so I ended up using this.
Pink polka dot ribbon I bought in the baby department at Dollar Tree and I just glued a little piece inside the center of the bow and then put a little glue on the back and folded the ribbon over itself to give it a finished edge. and once you have finished the bow, we will place it on the bunny. Now you can place it anywhere you want on the bunny. I chose to put it on the side of his head but you can put it in the middle and I just stuck it on with a little bit of glue making sure to keep it there for a second or two to let it set and now you can see the bunny is starting to look like an Easter Bunny to make the eyes.
I had a little circle punch and I used a piece of paper and I use my Sharpie to make a little black box and then I just cut two little circle holes and if you don't have a hole punch you can always cut the eyes out of a little piece of paper and then I have the two eyes, I decided where I wanted to place them on his face and I decided that they would look cute there a little bit together and I just used my aleene glue, but you can use any glue you want, you could even use. hot glue, but I will be very careful when placing the eyes on his face to make the Happy Easter sign.
We are going to use one of the plant labels. It has two sides, so you just have to make sure. You use the finished side and I printed a Happy Easter from the Internet. I'll link it below. I simply cut it out and then glued it to the little plastic sign. You can also print happy

spring
