Attaching the Ears

Carefully glue the ears onto the back of the paper plate, right above the eyes. This will create the illusion of fluffy ears peeking out of your bunny's head.

Tip: You can use a small amount of glue on the inner part of the ear to prevent it from getting stuck to your fingers while you hold it in place.

Once the glue has dried, your bunny is ready to go! Hang it up or place it among other Easter decor for a touch of whimsy.
