If you're hosting an Easter party this year, wow your guests with a larger than life bunny ear party backdrop! Adorn the ears with a fluffy tissue paper flower crown for a touch of springtime whimsy. Snap a photo and send it along with your party invite and everyone is sure to hop on down the bunny trail to your house!
Begin creating your bunny ears by drawing them onto a piece of 16x20 white foam board. You will need two larger pieces and two smaller, inner, pieces to create the ears. I just ended up freehand drawing my ears.
Carefully cut out both pairs of ear pieces using an Exacto® knife.
Set the smaller inner ear pieces aside and begin painting the larger ear pieces with two light coats of gray paint. While the paint was still lightly wet, I lightly brushed on a bit of white paint in long, even strokes here and there on each ear using a small fanned out brush from the paintbrush super value pack. This white paint added a bit of dimension to the ears.
While the larger pieces of the bunny ears are drying, paint the smaller pieces with light pink paint. I only applied one light coat to the ears so that some of the white from the foam board showed through.
Once all the ear pieces have fully dried, center the inner pink piece on top of the gray piece, lining them up at the bottom. Using hot glue, adhere the two pieces together.
Next, affix each ear to the wall over your intended dessert table or buffet using double sided foam tape. I placed each of mine on a slight angle as I felt it mimicked an actual bunny's ears better that way.
Lastly, create a flower crown for the bunny with tissue paper flowers. Start by gently pulling each layer of tissue paper away from the center of the large pink flower from the blush flower pom-poms set. Use double sided foam tape to tack the flower to the wall in the center of the two ears. Add the additional two flower pom-poms from the package to either side of the center flower. I actually mixed in turquoise and purple tissue paper pom-poms to better coordinate with my color scheme. I simply removed the inner wire pieces of the flowers from the blush flower pom-poms and added one each to the center of a purple and turquoise pom pom.
