Step-by-step Instructions

1. Cut ear shapes: From the white felt sheet, cut the outer ear shapes; from the light pink felt, cut the smaller inner ear shapes. You will need 24 ears (two per bunny).

2. Glue ear layers: Use a small dab of hot glue to attach each pink inner ear onto a white outer ear to form completed ears.

Glue the pink inner ear pieces onto the white outer ear pieces to form each ear.

3. Attach ears to felt balls: Add a small dab of glue to the top of each felt ball and press on a pair of ears to create a bunny head. Repeat for all 12 felt balls.

4. Add noses: Glue a tiny pink pom pom to the front center of each felt ball to make the bunny nose.

5. String the garland: Thread your bakers twine onto a large embroidery needle and sew through each felt ball just under the ears so the bunnies face forward on the string.

6. Finish and hang: Tie loops at each end of the twine for easy hanging and space the bunnies evenly along the garland. Adjust spacing or add extra felt balls if you want a longer garland.
