Instructions:

  1. Clean and dry an empty 56 oz. canister.

  2. With the yellow plastic cap removed, wrap and glue the felt all around the outside of the canister.

    Cut (two) 1-1/2 inch slits one inch apart (about 1-1/2 inches from open end of canister) where the foam ears will be inserted.

  3. Cut 2 ears out of craft foam.

  4. Using the lid, trace a circle on the felt and cut it out. Glue onto the top of the lid. Cut a 1/4-inch strip of felt to glue around the edge of the lid so that the lid will be completely covered.

  5. Glue the wiggly eyes to the covered lid.

  6. Glue the small white pompom or Styrofoam piece under the eyes to create the nose.

  7. Cut the 3 pieces of pipe cleaner in half and glue three on each side, just under the nose to create the whiskers.

  8. For the tail, glue a large pompom to the back of the canister.

  9. Make the Bunny's feet. Cut out one set made of cardboard or cork, and one set made of faux fur.

    Glue the faux fur to the cardboard.
