When you think of spring, I bet you think of bunnies and greenery, don’t you?  This craft combines those things into total cuteness: a DIY bunny topiary that’s SO easy to make, and even cuter when displayed as a pair of Mr. and Mrs. Moss Bunny Topiaries! 

Topiaries are a staple in traditional decor styles, so why not mix it up and make some ultra-cute ones for your spring decor?

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.
