Instructions to make a mini bunny topiary craft::
- Stuff the bottom of a clay pot so that it is just below level of the top of the pot (see list above for stuffing ideas, does not need to be anything fancy, stuffing will be completely hidden)
- Glue stuffing in place with hot glue.
- Glue bunny to pot and stuffing base.
- Cut apart greenery stem into smaller greenery bits with wire cutters.
- Glue greenery into place all round to give it a natural look and also to hide any gaps in between the bunny and pot.
- To add a little extra finished touch, wrap a piece of ribbon around the top rim of the pot. Be sure the seam where the two ends meet is in the back.
- Let topiary completely cool and dry and it is ready to display!
