Tips:
Fusible web (2-sided) can be found in craft and sewing shops or you may just use fabric glue if fusible web is not available.
22 or 24 Gauge wire is most ideal for this craft. The bunny ears will not be able to hold it's shape if it's too thin and while it's difficult to bend if the wire is too thick.
Masking tape is best to use here as it has a slight thickness and create a slight stiffness that makes it easier to hold the bunny ears in shape, and it sticks easily with fabric due to it's paper surface.
Be careful when handling iron and DO NOT let children handle or close to an heated iron at all times!
If you have difficulty cutting clean edges of the fabric, you can cut out in rectangle first, follow all the steps to combine all items together, then cut to size & shape using the template thereafter.
Cut 2 pieces of fabrics using the template provided.
Curl the end of the wire and place on top of the fabric.
Tape the wire on the fabric together and then glue the other piece of fabric together using fabric glue. Lastly, cut and trim to shape using the template provided.
