This adorable Easter Bunny Corsage was made from some lonely artificial flowers we found at the Dollar Store.  The corsage can also be used as a package or basket trim. Craft supplies can be found everywhere if you are willing to look outside the box.

Trivia:

Records indicate that the history of floral fakes began towards the end of the seventeenth century (1601-1700), when a new practice arose. Flowers made of paper, silk and other material began to be substituted for natural flowers. These hand-made fake flowers came to be known as French flowers or Gum flowers.
