Grapevine Bunny Wreath



My first bunny Wreath ---Still needs a little work  --I thought I bought Wired Ribbon ..will need to Fix Bow --

I bought 2    six inch grape vine wreaths ---soaked them in water
                    soaking them in water will allow you to bend them to get in bunny ear shape

              1    10 inch grape vine Wreath
              1    14 inch grape vine Wreath
               3   5 ft of garland
                    Ribbon   for Bow
                    Flower


I attached all with Wire

Then i pulled the Garland apart and worked it into the wreath
I did use a hot Glue to attach some of the garland








I also made a small one Wreath

2   6 inch Wreaths---for the ears
     8 inch Wreaths
    10 inch Wreath

The below Bunny is the small Bunny

I am afraid of trying to fix my Water --I did fix my Shadow tree on the left ..just no photo's yet ..

I just have almost no artistic talent --I can color and copy someone else --I don't have Eye  --But for now I have to be Happy with My coloring !!  I am looking forward to my Next February Painting
