- Now use a small sponge to dab white paint on the front of the body to create a round belly. You can also emphasize the inside of the ears that you previously cut out of cardboard with white paint. This will make your bunny appear more lively and friendly.

- Once the paint is dry, draw a cute face on the wooden bead using a black fineliner. Set two small eyes, a fine nose and a curved smile.
- Then glue the pearl head onto the top tip of the egg carton body with hot glue.
- In the next step, attach the ears to the back of the head. Make sure that they point slightly outwards so that the bunny appears particularly playful.
- Place a small dried flower next to each ear. This creates a delicate spring accent.
