5. Whenever a pipe cleaner is getting short, twist another one to extend its length.
6. When you reach the spot where you’d like an ear to start, twist two pipe cleaners together loosely, and continue wrapping the third pipe cleaner around the headband.
7. Shape your bunny ear, and wrap the third pipe cleaner around the bottom of the ear to hold it in place.
8. Continue wrapping all three pipe cleaners and extending them as needed.
9. Create and shape the second ear when you get to the right spot.

10. Continue wrapping the headband.
11. Fold two of the pipe cleaners over the headband end, and cut off the excess with the wire cutters.
12. Create a loop at the bottom of the third remaining pipe cleaner, tucking the end back in toward the headband. (This will prevent the sharp, raw edge from poking out.)
13. Wrap the loop continually around until the headband end is completely covered. Give it a good squeeze to keep it in place.
14. Bend the ears into a narrow diamond shape. (Oval ears look more mouse-like.)
