If you don't have some of the things I mentioned look around what you have I'm sure you can find something else to substitute it .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_01d3fdc52ba44f949d88a8473928c46c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_01d3fdc52ba44f949d88a8473928c46c~mv2.jpg)
For my rim of my Bunnies hat I cut out a round circle out of watercolor paper it was pretty stiff so I knew it would work perfectly!
This is where you can use a piece of cardboard .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_36e13df0b12141b9bb5f37cf92f64add~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_36e13df0b12141b9bb5f37cf92f64add~mv2.jpg)
Then I removed my label off my can washed it out .
Then I went ahead and glued my material on it .
I used an old light weight sweater I had that I picked up at a resale shop .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_a089a0e53a1849b5a4439bb511fc4839~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_a089a0e53a1849b5a4439bb511fc4839~mv2.jpg)
I covered my can using hot glue to hold it down I just ran the glue around the top and bottom of the can .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_6f600e85794a40b0a6559743bf4e2a0c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_6f600e85794a40b0a6559743bf4e2a0c~mv2.jpg)
I then tucked the bottom edge when glueing it in . That gives you a nice finish edge.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_26c6b18a549e4a9d877be10cec8de3d3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_26c6b18a549e4a9d877be10cec8de3d3~mv2.jpg)
I covered my rim the same way .
I did both sides .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_8c4f7350f7af4baf964fbb66c8fa5e1f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_8c4f7350f7af4baf964fbb66c8fa5e1f~mv2.jpg)
Glue as you go .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_2c1d881b03144d2ab7f643e6a8d338c4~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_2c1d881b03144d2ab7f643e6a8d338c4~mv2.jpg)
Once that was done o gave it an even trim .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_99d1596b2da14ee3b7c6df3a90ee316d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_99d1596b2da14ee3b7c6df3a90ee316d~mv2.jpg)
Then I covered the top of my can too!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_6751ace9ba8e482a8a347e35dd584e6a~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_6751ace9ba8e482a8a347e35dd584e6a~mv2.jpg)
There you have it!
So cute already !
Look what a soup can some cardboard and material can do!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_55ae2600dd9542cf84ed89abf2125077~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_55ae2600dd9542cf84ed89abf2125077~mv2.jpg)
I then moved on to cutting my ears.
I freehanded the shape I wanted on a paper bag !
I cut 4 of them .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_fc6caa62668f4109b02d19cc86d53ef2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_fc6caa62668f4109b02d19cc86d53ef2~mv2.jpg)
Once they were cut I went ahead and glued them together.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_fb1c7fbe35194940be53485c9ce151a2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_fb1c7fbe35194940be53485c9ce151a2~mv2.jpg)
But before I glued them all the way around I filled them with a little filler .
You only need very little if you don't have any on hand you can also use cotton balls .
That's what I used I pulled them apart a little and stuffed it . I use 3 cotton balls per ear.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_c092af637df048ffb2cbdb951ee9e0e9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_c092af637df048ffb2cbdb951ee9e0e9~mv2.jpg)
Then you can glue the rest of it .
You can then trim any uneven parts if you need to .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_aa744f042fe8400497f11b6910752ce1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_aa744f042fe8400497f11b6910752ce1~mv2.jpg)
I did use a thin stick to help put the filling in .
You don't want to over stuff .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_d332199bab524288ab964d9254bad098~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_d332199bab524288ab964d9254bad098~mv2.jpg)
I then gave my ears one light coat of white paint.
I didn't want it solid so some brown from the bag could show through .
You can do it which ever way you would like.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_7abf4ee87f74458fb9e83901d9a3dc35~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_7abf4ee87f74458fb9e83901d9a3dc35~mv2.jpg)
Then I painted the center of the ears light pink .
You can also mix red and white together to make your own pink if you don't have any on hand .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_998e16de5cb74034bef67173b6b9a7ab~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_998e16de5cb74034bef67173b6b9a7ab~mv2.jpg)
I had these beautiful paper doilies on hand so I used them to embellish the bottom of the hat . I cut them in half and went all the way around it.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_c7254544e53c4b719da8f4db61807ec8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_c7254544e53c4b719da8f4db61807ec8~mv2.jpg)
So pretty !
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_0c9e5a1ea9144d0098f95157907b8bd3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_0c9e5a1ea9144d0098f95157907b8bd3~mv2.jpg)
I then glued my ears on !
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_239145d136924e8087fdddd5d1cd0df3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_239145d136924e8087fdddd5d1cd0df3~mv2.jpg)
I took my brown wax and I grunged it up a little I love that look but you can skip that step if you like .
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_7d68798f746d4862baece9d7c9cb0cb6~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_7d68798f746d4862baece9d7c9cb0cb6~mv2.jpg)
I also have this watercolor set on hand!
I love it my daughter gave it to me awhile back !
I use it a lot for watercolor projects but also for when I need a little quick color on something like the ears on this project!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_231147fc0174482ba383ba989ec30c25~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_231147fc0174482ba383ba989ec30c25~mv2.jpg)
I then cut up some strips of material and I used my watercolor set again just to give these pieces some color here and there!
I love how it came out!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_d098e941f42a44a695b5946419e2c44e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_d098e941f42a44a695b5946419e2c44e~mv2.jpg)
I then made my loopy bow !
Then I glued it on along with a beautiful brooch I had to add that whimsical look!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_efdc6026703946d2879061cf264774ca~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_efdc6026703946d2879061cf264774ca~mv2.jpg)
I got my mega hold hair spray and my glitter and sprinkle it on my hat .
This alway works well especially with the micro fine glitter!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b5104_51ccd6b2a319479196b0869e130e7843~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/3b5104_51ccd6b2a319479196b0869e130e7843~mv2.jpg)
There you have it
I just love ❤️ it !
I also had to highlight my girls beautiful pastel eggs that they lay it was a perfect combination for this picture!
