Tips and tricks

• Use high-quality wire cutters to simplify the chicken wire-cutting process. If uncertain, refer to our instructions for cutting chicken wire.
• Whether opting for a pre-made wreath shape or crafting your own, be mindful that when creating a DIY bunny wreath, avoid welding galvanized wire.
• Although painting the chicken wire is optional, it can help achieve a uniform look. If you’re going for a more industrial look, you can skip that step.
