1. Prepare the Bunny Ears

Start by removing the ears from the bunny face. They should snap off easily!

Don’t throw away the tinsel; it’s perfect for a future fall pumpkin craft.

2. Create the Bunny Body

Take the two large clear bowls and glue the rims together using E6000 glue.

This will form the bunny’s body (it won’t be perfectly round, but that’s okay!).

Let the glue dry.

3. Prepare the Bunny Head

Next, take the two white bowls and repeat the same process.

Then, place some floral foam at the top of the white ball.

Push the foam around the bowl to get an impression, then remove it and trim to fit.

Glue the foam securely onto the top of the ball.

4. Attach the Bunny Ears

Insert the bunny ears into the foam at the top of the head.

Use both E6000 glue and hot glue to ensure the ears are securely attached.

5. Join the Bunny Head and Body

Now it’s time to attach the head to the body. Glue the smaller ball (the head with the ears) to the larger ball (the body).

If you’re in a hurry and need some extra stability, you can add tape around the bowls while they dry.

6. Spray Paint the Topiary

Once the body and head are glued together, take the topiary outside and spray paint it green.

This step ensures that if any spots are missed with the moss, the bowls won’t be visible underneath.

7. Add the Moss

This step can take a bit of time, but it’s worth it for the final look. Break up the moss in a shoe box to avoid a mess.

Then, begin hot gluing the moss to the topiary. This part of the process took me about an hour and a half to complete.

8. Secure the Moss

Once the moss is fully applied, spray it with adhesive to make sure it sticks, and let it dry completely.

9. Finishing Touches

To complete the bunny project, add a sweet bow to the neck for a decorative touch.

If you’re planning to display the topiary outdoors, fill the pot with rocks to weigh it down. This will help prevent the topiary from blowing over in the wind.
