You can also use the already coloured pattern.

Cut out the different elements.

Then add a dot of glue to the end of the bunny’s ears, then stick them behind the strip of your choice.

Leave a space of about 1 cm or 1.5 cm between the 2 ears.

You can now glue both ends of the strip together.

Tip: Use the egg to measure the correct diameter.

 

Repeat these steps for the different designs.

Then place the ears on the top of the egg.
