This bunny statue is a beautiful little statement piece, great for centerpieces or general decoration. It's made of 2 Styrofoam balls and cardboard, held together by hot glue. Paint it however you please. I chose metallic paint so it really pops!

Total Time: 20 minutes plus dry time

Use the X-Acto knife to make 2 cuts into one of the Styrofoam ball. Each cut should match the width of a bunny ear base.

Cut out a small circle of cardboard to act as the base of the bunny to keep it standing up.

Heat up your hot glue gun and glue the head to the body.

Then glue the body to the circular cardboard base. Adjust it quickly before the hot glue sets so the bunny stands up straight.
