Supplies to make a Giant Moss Bunny

• 2 small bowls from the dollar tree 
• 2 large bowls from dollar tree
• Bunny head from dollar tree
• E-6000
• Forest Moss (they had some at Dollar Tree but only 3 bags. I found this big bag at Walmart)
• Green Spray paint
• Hot glue gun
• LOTS of glue sticks
• Scissors
• Ribbon (0ptional) 

I tried out two different bunny sizes trying to see if there was one that was better than the other. But spoiler. Both are adorable. So Grab two different sizes of bowls and just make sure they are proportionate to each other. 

The bowls I found are in two different sections. In the party section are some big punch bowls and serving bowls. The other place is Housewares. Popcorn and regular bowls galore! Lots of different sizes to choose from!

Like I said previously- Moss is actually at the dollar tree. But since I was doing two bunnies, I knew I need a lot. I found this bag at Walmart for $6. This covered the entire small bunny and about 75% off the bigger bunny! Plenty of moss in this bag!

How to assemble the Moss bunny

Glue the Bowls

Take your E6000 and run it along the lip of the bowl. Press the other bowl to it to make a dome. 

Rinse and repeat for each set of bowls. Then Glue the small bowl on top of the bigger bowl. I set them down and put a book on top of each one to adhere to the bowls.  

While those are setting, take some scissors and snips and cut off those bunny ears! My daughter came home to two earless bunny heads on the counter! The dollar tree has lots of bunny heads, so you can take your pick. I used two different ones and I liked them both! 

Hot glue the ears on top of the stack of bowls. At this point, I was like- MENTAL NOTE: Remake a version of these as a snowman for winter!

Spray Paint the bunny

Time for spray paint! This is an important step because it’s really hard to cover every tiny inch of the bunny with moss. The green paint will help hide any spots you miss! 

Add the Moss

Then you are going to start laying down hot glue in 3-inch sections onto the bowl and pressing moss against it. It takes quite a bit of hot glue.

If it was nice outside, I would have tried some spray adhesive to make it go faster. It took about an hour and a half to cover the bunny. The hot glue would set quickly so you could only do small sections. If you were doing these as a craft night with the girls, it would be a fun night of gluing and hanging out!

(If you end up trying spray adhesive and it works, let me know!)

Once it’s all covered, take some scissors and give it a little trim. You can also use a hairdryer or heat tool to melt any glue gun hairs that you have! 

I did not cover the very bottom with moss. I wanted it to sit flat on any surface! 

You can add any fun embellishments: ribbon, flowers, cute spring sign! I put some sticks into a triangle for the bunny nose and whiskers. Or add a bunny tail! 

I would not recommend these rabbits be exposed to the elements!

I’m not going to lie. I love these cute guys. Way more than I thought I would! I want to make another of the giant size so I could have one on each side of my front door for Easter.
