Bunny Head, Hands and Feet

To start with, I took a styrofoam wig head and some wire (the bottom sections of wire hangers). I pressed the wire into the top of the head, one on each side. These will be the guide for the ears. I bent the wire until I was happy with the angles.

I took two more pieces of hanger wire and created loops on either side of the face for the cheeks.

I cut out long shapes for the bunny ears out of cardboard. These were slightly longer than the length of the exposed wire inserted into the wighead.

I pierced small holes at the top of the cardboard ears and pushed the wire through from behind. I pressed the ears against the wire and taped them along the back.

I cut out a rough shape (sort of like a bean) of cardboard and wrapped it around the wire cheeks, again using tape to keep them in place. I cut out an oval of cardboard, turned it onto its side, and attached that to the back of the head and cheeks.

I then used packing tape all around the top of the cheeks in vertical strips to give a basic form/cover up the big gap between the wighead and cardboard.

I carved out an oval from styrofoam for the nose area and ran wire straight through it into the wighead.

I took some of the excess pink sheet material and wrapped them around the ears, taping them in place at the front. This was covered with the fuzzy pink blanket material (cut out in the same shape as the ears, only smaller) to hide the seams.

Using the same pull-flatten-staple method you saw before for the body, I covered the main part of the head with sheet material.

I used card stock to cut out two eyes (with painted pupils) and fangs. These were attached with spray glue.

I cut out pink fuzzy eyelids (half circles cut on a slant) and positioned them to make him look a little menacing.

And of course, he needed a fuzzy pink nose.

I had a cheap pair of costume rubber hands and feet. I stuffed them with crumpled newspaper before I painted them pink, then dry brushed them with white paint.

To help keep the feet in place, I popped the end of the cardboard sheets (inserted into the legs of the body when I was fleshing it out) into the openings where you would normally slide your own feet into the rubber ones.
