Hi Melissa, Thank you! I bought styrofoam boards from the craft store. Then wrapped them in green tissue. I bought wood sticks (Tried to find white but couldn't) for the "fence" look. Then wrapped it in ribbon to secure it. I put gift basket filler in green to make it look like grass. I bought short bamboo sticks for the picks. I ordered minnie confetti on Etsy and glued it to each stick. Hope that helps!!!

Hi Sharon, I bought a styrofoam wreath from the craft store and 2 small ones. Also bought yarn. Simply wrapped the yarn around it and did the same with the ears. Then glued them on. I bought little flowers and glued swarovski crystals in the ears. Tied it up with a bow and a little flower on the bottom! Hope this helps!
