Step 4: Lighting for an atmospheric ambience

Step 5: Final decoration

Glue a small wreath of flowers to one of the bunnies and attach both bunny castings firmly to the birch slice using hot glue. Finally, you can glue Iceland moss and a few more flowers to the birch slice to emphasize the natural look of the arrangement.
