Gathering Your Materials
Before you begin, you'll want to make sure you have all the necessary supplies. The great news is that you can find everything you need at Dollar Tree. Here's a list to help you get started:
- Wire wreath form
- White and pink felt
- Googly eyes
- Pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Ribbon or twine for hanging
Choosing Your Wreath Form
When selecting your wire wreath form, consider the size you want for your bunny. A 12-inch or 14-inch form is a good starting point for a standard-sized wreath. You can always adjust the size of your bunny components to fit the form you choose.
Selecting Your Felt
For this project, you'll need white felt for the bunny's body and pink felt for the ears and inner ears. You can also use pink felt for the nose and cheeks if you prefer a more rosy bunny. Don't forget to grab a few sheets of each color, as you'll need to cut out multiple pieces.
Creating Your Bunny's Features
Now that you have all your materials, it's time to start bringing your bunny to life. We'll begin by creating the ears, nose, and cheeks, then move on to the body and finally, the adorable face.
Crafting the Ears
Using your pink felt, cut out two large ovals for the outer ears and two smaller ovals for the inner ears. You can use a template or freehand your shapes. Once you have your pieces, use your hot glue gun to attach the inner ear to the outer ear, leaving a small space at the bottom for the pipe cleaner.
Next, insert a pipe cleaner through the small space at the bottom of each ear. Twist the pipe cleaner around the felt to create a loop for attaching the ears to the wreath form. Set your ears aside while you work on the other features.
Adding the Nose and Cheeks
Using your pink felt, cut out a small triangle for the nose and two small circles for the cheeks. If you prefer a white-nosed bunny, use white felt for the nose. Once you have your pieces, use your hot glue gun to attach the nose and cheeks to the wreath form where you want your bunny's face to be.
Assembling Your Bunny's Body
With the face features in place, it's time to create the bunny's body. Using your white felt, cut out a large oval for the body, making sure it's large enough to cover the wreath form. You may need to trim the felt to fit the shape of the form.
Attaching the Body
Once you have the perfect shape for your bunny's body, use your hot glue gun to attach it to the wreath form. Make sure to leave the bottom of the wreath form exposed, as this is where you'll attach the ribbon or twine for hanging.
Adding the Final Touches
Now that your bunny's body is in place, it's time to add the googly eyes and any additional embellishments you'd like. You can use a hot glue gun to attach the googly eyes to the wreath form, positioning them where you want your bunny's eyes to be.
If you'd like to add a bow or other embellishments, now is the time to do so. Simply use your hot glue gun to attach the embellishments to the wreath form, making sure they're securely in place.
Hanging Your Bunny Wreath
With your bunny wreath complete, it's time to hang it up and show it off! Cut a length of ribbon or twine and tie it to the bottom of the wreath form, creating a loop for hanging. Make sure the loop is large enough to fit over your wreath hanger or nail.
Displaying Your Bunny Wreath
Your DIY bunny wreath form is perfect for displaying on your front door, above the mantel, or even on a wall in your home. Wherever you choose to hang it, your bunny wreath is sure to bring a smile to your face and your guests. So go ahead, show off your creativity and enjoy your charming decoration!
