DIY Easter Egg Bunny Gnomes

Cut a piece of cardboard into a rectangle twice as long as the length of the beard. (The beard should cover about half of the egg.) Place the yarn at one end and begin to wrap it around the cardboard about 20-30 times then cut the yarn. Cut another piece of yarn about 12’’ long. Carefully, pull the large yarn loop off the cardboard while holding it together so it does not unravel. Grab the yarn in the center and tie it tightly together with the 12’’ piece of yarn.

Cut the looped ends of the yarn bunch with a pair of scissors. Hold the beard in the center and shake it to cut any looped pieces of yarn that might have been missed. Use your fingers, brush or comb to carefully unravel the ends of the yarn for a fringe-like fluffy texture. Tip: Use an inexpensive clean pet grooming brush instead of buying a macrame brush or comb.

Measure and cut the fuzzy pipe cleaner into two 20’’ pieces. Bend them each in half and manipulate them to mimic the shape of bunny ears. Out of felt, cut two long, almond-like shapes for the inside of the ears. Use a glue gun to add a slight amount of hot glue around the edge of the felt. Then press the felt into the center of the pip cleaner.

Rotate the moss sheet so a point is facing you. Cut a deep circular edge starting from the point on the right swooping down to the point on the left. Tip: Trace a large plate to use as a guide. Hold the moss up to the egg with the cut circular edge in the middle of the egg. Place your finger in the spot where the ears are attached to the egg and cut a horizontal slit big enough for the ear to fit.

Slide each ear through the cut slits of the moss hat and wrap the two corners around to the back of the egg. Turn the egg over and glue the edges of the hat to the egg. Hot glue the corners and seams together creating a cone. Tip: Keep checking the front of the egg and manipulate the hat as you glue to get the perfect shape.

Cut three six inch pieces of wire. Hold them together and wrap them around each other in the center. Glue the center of the wire to the back of the wooden bead with hot glue. Lift the brim of the hat and carefully glue the bead directly above the beard slightly under the brim of the hat. Tip: If the brim of the hat does not stay over the nose, add a tiny amount of hot glue to the back of the brim to help it stay in place.
