Instructions

  1. Print and cut the bunny templates. Approximately 6 – 8″ tall.   
  2. Trace the templates onto the CraftFoM® block and cut them out using a serrated knife.   
  3. Sand edges with scrap FōM to smooth any imperfections.  
  4. Paint the bunnies light brown; let them dry completely.   
  5. Glue beads for eyes and pink pom pims for noses. Glue the white pom poms to the bunnies for tails. 
  6. Cut tie wire for whiskers for whiskers; glue in place. 
  7. Fill the container with water (100 – 110°) and mix in floral preservative per package instructions.  
  8. Lay the WetFōM® brick on the water surface; let float freely until soaked. Do not force submerge the brick; this will trap air and leave the brick dry inside. 
  9. Use the floral knife to cut the brick in half lengthwise. You will have two 2” x 3” x 8” bricks.  
  10. Place the bricks cut side down, end to end, in the Aquatainer® tray; secure with anchor tape. 
  11. Cut lengths of the Cocculus and insert them into the WetFōM® evenly spaced around the edge, allowing them to hang over and conceal the tray. 
  12. Glue a toothpick into the bottom of each bunny.  Insert them into the WetFōM® evenly spaced in the container.   
  13. Trim the tulips to various lengths and insert them in clusters around the bunnies. 
  14. Cut apart and insert the ruscus throughout the arrangement to fill gaps and hide the FōM.
