Step 2: Glue the Wooden Balls Together

This step is simple but forewarning – when the glue adheres the knobs together it holds in place quickly. For my bunny I use natural wood, meaning it's unfinished.

Using your hot glue gun, glue the bottom of the smaller wooden ball to the top of the larger wooden ball. Hold it in place for a few seconds to make sure it is secure.

Step 3: Cut the Curved Popsicle Stick

Next, cut the curved popsicle stick in half. These will be two ears for each bunny.

Step 4: Hot Glue Ears

Follow by applying a dot of hot glue where you cut the popsicle stick. Then adhere the glued stick to the back of the small knob slight angled outward. Repeat this step with the other stick but lean the ear slightly outward in the other direction.

Just like when gluing the knobs together, hold the ears in place for a few seconds until they are good and secure.
