- Paint all of the clay pots white, except the 1” clay pot, paint it yellow.
- Let the pots dry at least 10 minutes, and then paint 2 more coats of patio paint on the pots letting them dry for 10 minutes in between coats.
- Place a line of E6000 glue on the bottom rim of the large clay pot and then a line of hot glue over it.

- Let it dry for 24 hours.
- Next, place a line of hot glue on the edge of the open part of the 8” clay pot and place the straw hat on top so that it won’t fall off.

- Cut bunny ears out of the white fun foam and then cut smaller ears out of the pink for the inside of the white ears.
- Next, glue the pink to the white and cut the bottom of the ear at an angle, then stick it in the slit of the straw hat.
