Prep Time3 hours

Equipment

  • Hot Glue Gun

Ingredients

  • 6 Bunny Wreath forms from Dollar Tree
  • 1 ball Very Chunky Yarn Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss brand from Hobby Lobby
  • Zip Ties
  • 1 sheet Posterboard
  • 3 Fat Quarters Fabric
  • Rope
  • Any additional decorations

Instructions

  • Trace the inside of the ears from one bunny wreath form onto posterboard to make petal templates. Cut 12. Trace the center circle of one bunny wreath form and cut from posterboard.
    Twelve petal templates cut from poster board; one circle cut from poster board.

  • Use hot glue to glue chunky yarn to the front of the petals, outlining each one separately. Be sure not to glue any petals to each other; if any petals are touching squeeze them gently to make them narrower.

  • Measure out 6-7 more yards of yarn and cut off the rest. Use the yarn to wrap the center circle. Wrap once in between each set of petals and then three times inside each petal.
