Supplies You’ll Need

Ok — Let’s get to work! To create your own DIY spring moss bunny topiary, gather the following supplies:

• Two styrofoam balls – 12 inches and 8 inches
• One roll of moss with adhesive backing
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Cardboard (for ears)
• Toothpicks or skewers (optional but make it easier to attach the ears to the head)
• Ribbon
• A cute pot – I love this textured one and I think it is on sale!

Why use a Moss Sheet instead of Regular Moss?

I chose to use a moss sheet with an adhesive backing because it makes this project incredibly easy and much less messy. Unlike loose moss, which can be a hassle to glue on piece by piece, the sheet adheres smoothly and quickly. This means you can complete your bunny topiary in no time and avoid a moss-covered workspace!

Step-by-Step Directions

Create a Flat Surface on the Styrofoam Balls

Start by using a knife to cut a small flat surface on one end of each of the styrofoam balls. This step is essential because it allows the two balls to fit securely together and helps the bunny’s head stay in place.

Cover the Balls with Moss

Now, it’s time to apply the moss! If you’re using the same size styrofoam balls I did, you’ll need just ONE roll of moss. However, to make it stretch, don’t apply moss to the bottom third of the larger ball (the bunny’s body). This ensures that you have enough moss for the whole project.

And don’t discard any extra moss that comes off the sheets! You’ll need it later to create the bunny’s ears.

Attach the Bunny’s Head to the Body

Once both styrofoam balls are covered in moss, it’s time to attach the head to the body. Apply a thick layer of hot glue to the flat parts of both balls and firmly press them together. Hold the head in place while the glue cools and dries to ensure a secure hold.

Make and Attach the Ears

Next, cut out two bunny ears from cardboard. You can make them any size you like, but I made mine about the length of the bunny’s head. Once cut, insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into the base of each ear.

To cover the ears, spread a layer of hot glue on the front of each cardboard piece and press the extra moss onto it. Repeat this step on all sides of the ears, then trim up the edges with scissors for a polished look.

Once the ears are fully covered, insert the skewers into the top of the bunny’s head to attach them securely.

Fill in Gaps and Add Finishing Touches

Check for any gaps in the moss and use leftover moss to fill them in. This will give your bunny a complete and seamless look.

Now for the fun part—decorating! Make a bow with your ribbon and attach it to the bunny with hot glue. I also placed some faux flowers in the pot around the bunny for an extra touch of spring charm. To make it even more magical, I added twinkle lights at the base of my bunny. I used lights with a timer and remote for easy setup and control!

Enjoy Your DIY Moss Bunny for Years to Come!

Now that your adorable spring moss bunny topiary is complete, find the perfect spot for it in your home! Whether you place it on a mantel, a tabletop, or a covered porch, this charming DIY bunny will bring joy for many springs to come.
