INSTRUCTIONS
1. First, mark and cut four bunny ears out of hot-pink felt. You may want to make a paper pattern beforehand if you’re a perfectionist.
2. Apply sparkle to the middle of the bunny ears with glitter glue, or by drawing an inner ear shape with craft glue and then sprinkling the real stuff on top. If sprinkling, be sure to save the excess glitter.
3. Cut the white felt into two little sets of rectangular bunny teeth.
4. Using the large pompoms for cheeks and the small pompoms for noses, arrange a bunny muzzle and hot-glue your pieces in place. Add those cute little teeth to this arrangement.
5. Next, choose where you want your bunny’s eyelashes to be, and glue them securely in place with craft glue.
6. Now arrange all four ears and hot-glue them in position as well.
Tip: For extra glam, hot-glue the marabou trim in place (behind the ears, across the width of the slipper). Cut two tiny marabou tufts for fluffy tails and hot-glue them at the back of each slipper. Hop on off to bed in style with your saucy new slippers!
