This is a Sugru project.  The Sugru holds the bunny together.

A cute little bunny to hold little flowers, pens, paintbrushes, a fork, and anything else you want!  It also functions well as just a cute little bunny.

Making this, I had no experience with clay, Styrofoam, wires, or Sugru.  Like none at all.  So if you do have experience, you can probably make it look prettier.  And if you don't, don't worry, this is a pretty good starter project (it's very lenient and flexible).

Step 1What you'll need

What you\

-Sugru:  For sticking stuff together

-Oven bake clay:  For the bunny limbs, ears, and tail

-Styrofoam:  Egg shaped pieces for the head, cone shaped pieces for the body.

-Wire:  Not too thin or thick.  I used jewelry wire.  You might want really thin flower decorating wire for support.

-Wire cutters:  To cut your wire.

-Scissors:  To open your Sugru packets.

-Box cutter, razor cutter, or knife:  To shape your Styrofoam and help cut your clay.

-Modeling tools and craft roller:  The craft roller is to roll out your clay really flat and thin.  Modeling tools are optional if you want the bunny to have cool designs.

-Paint + Brushes:  To paint the bunny.

-Ribbon:  To decorate the bunny.  Can also use glitter, buttons, more paint, etc.

I would have done it exactly the other way around and used the sugru for the legs ears and arms, to make them bendable. Other than that the bunny is really cute.
