  3. Cut smaller, pink inner ears from the pink foam or felt and glue them onto the white ears.
  4. Glue the ears to the top part of the lantern where it narrows to mimic the bunny's head.
  5. Attach googly eyes and a pom-pom for the nose. Use the marker to draw whiskers if desired.

🐰 Note: Ensure your lantern is well-balanced once the ears are attached to prevent it from tipping over.
