How to Make Moss Bunny Topiaries

First, cut out some bunny ears from the foam core board.  They don’t have to be perfectly shaped because any imperfections will be hidden by the moss.

Next, paint the bunny ears and foam egg green.  This will help mask any bare spots you have once you’ve glued on your moss.

Once dry, gently push a toothpick into the bottom of each foam core ear.

Next, push each ear into the foam egg.

Now you’re ready to apply your moss! To do this, hot glue the heck out of the egg and stick moss EVERYWHERE! Since I used loose moss, I made a GIGANTIC mess. Be prepared for a fun clean up. Ha!

I also added twine around my bunnies for a rustic look and to help keep some of the moss in place.

After everything is “mossed,” push dowels into the bottom of each foam egg. You could leave the dowels natural color or paint them like I did.

Then, push the other end of each dowel into floral foam in the bottom of terracotta pots.  I painted the flower pots in a cute yellow and white gingham pattern, but you could paint them however you like or leave them plain.

Finally, fill the flower pots with leftover moss.  With that, your DIY bunny topiary is complete!

Since I’m “extra,” I made a two bows for my bunny topiaries; a hair bow for the Mrs. and a bow tie for the Mr.  (Notice how the boy bunny is shorter than the girl bunny?  I did that on purpose.  Girl Power!)

I couldn’t be happier with these little moss bunny topiaries hanging out on my mantel. They are so cute up there, especially paired with my Easter Grass Sign and Spring Bunny Gumball Machine decor.

      Thank you, Laurie!! You should totally make them – they weren’t bad to make at all! Enjoy your weekend!

      Sarah – thank you!! Yeah, they weren’t bad at all, except for all the stupid loose moss that I bought. I wish I would’ve bought the right kind of moss sheets! Would’ve made it ten times easier!! Have a great weekend!

My DIY Kitchen Makeover Reveal!

Seven months.  SEVEN MONTHS! That’s how long my DIY Kitchen Makeover took from start to finish. Last year I painted my oak kitchen cabinets and did a whole bunch of other stuff to update my 1990s oak kitchen (I’ll walk you down that memory lane later in this post).  Once those projects were completed, I outsourced […]

DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

Deep Teal Chalk Paint Chairs Makeover

Sometimes when painting furniture you make a bad color choice and end up with chairs that look worse than before you painted them.  That happened with these Craigslist chairs, which I painted yellow at first, and then re-did with a beautiful deep teal chalk paint. These traditional chairs now look fresh and updated with two […]

Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
