The Making of An Easter Parade Bonnet — Shared Pleasure
The Making of An Easter Parade Bonnet — Shared Pleasure
It is not easy finding small bunnies to place on the hat. So, we decided to use flowers instead.
While I used straight pins to anchor the bunny to the front of the hat, my six-year-old niece pushed the bunny cupcake toppers into the Styrofoam. She then added the Easter eggs by pushing toothpicks into the eggs and then the other end of the toothpick into the Styrofoam. When I asked if she wanted to glue the eggs, she told me she wants to use the eggs on her Christmas tree. So, they have to be removable.
I only had to ask once for her to stop so I could photographer her while she worked. As soon as she saw me pick up my camera, she would freeze her hands until I got my shot. I was in awe as I watched where she placed the flowers and other embellishments. She even wanted to decorate the bunny by putting pink flowers on its head.
She has such an eye for composition at a very yearly age. I was surprised when she told me she had a color pattern for placing the eggs onto the hat.

Once, she placed all the elements onto the hat, she announced that it was finished. Now, all that was needed was to let the glue dry.
