Here comes Peter Cottontail -- and it's not just his tail that's cotton. He's made entirely out of cotton balls -- as is this adorable lamb and this chick. The technique is easy.

Cotton-Ball Rabbit How-To
1. Make the head: Unroll three cotton balls into strips. One at a time, wrap the strips tight around a single cotton ball. Alternate the direction you wrap to make a round, even ball. Smooth and shape ball by pulling cotton fibers around it and pulling off any lumps. Spray with unscented extra-hold hair spray and set aside to dry for about 5 minutes. (The hair spray seals the cotton ball so it doesn't unravel.)

2. Make the ears: Cut 2 ear shapes out of one flat cotton cosmetic pad. Spray with hair spray and let dry. Tint the inside of the ears pink with powdered blush. Pinch bottom of ear to taper it and glue with Fabri-tac craft glue. Glue the ears to the top of the head.

3. Glue on gray seed bead to the head to create the eyes.

4. To make the nose and whiskers, thread a pink seed bead with three strands of 3-inch-long button thread. Trim to desired length. Glue pink bead to face.

5. To craft the rabbit's body, unroll 7 cotton balls into flat strips. Wrap strips around a single cotton ball in the same process as the head, making a larger ball. Spray with hair spray and set aside to dry.

6. Make the feet and tail: Unroll one cotton ball into a strip. Tear off enough cotton to make three smaller balls -- about 1/2 inch in diameter for the feet and about 3/4 inch in diameter for the tail. Spray with hair spray and let dry for a few minutes.

7. Use Fabri-tac to glue the head to the body. Hold in place for a minute while it sets. Next, glue the feet to the front bottom edge of the body and the tail on the back. Use powdered blush to create rosy cheeks on the face.

Cotton-Ball Chick How-To
1. Make the body: Unroll one cotton ball about 3/4 of the way. Stack 2 whole cotton balls on the unrolled strip of cotton close to the remaining part of cotton ball. Wrap the unrolled strip firmly around the 2 balls to form an almond shaped cotton ball. Pinch together one end to make a tail. Spray with extra hold hair spray to seal ball. Set aside and allow to dry for several minutes.

2. Create the head. Spray one cotton ball with hair spray and allow to dry. Use Fabri-tac glue to glue to end of body opposite tail.

3. Make the feet and beak. Color an 8-inch length of white cloth-wrapped wire orange using a paint pen. For the legs, cut a piece of wire that is 2 3/4 inches long. Bend the wire at right angles 1 inch from each end. For the feet, cut 2 more pieces of wire each 1 1/2 inches long. Twist the feet pieces around the leg piece, 1/2 from each end. Bend the 1/2 inch ends back to create chick feet. Use Fabri-tac to glue to the bottom front of the body. For the beak, cut a 3/4 inch piece of wire and bend in half. Glue to face.

4. To add eyes, glue 2 small seed beads to the face.

Cotton-Ball Lamb How-To
1. Make the body. Unroll 15 cotton balls into strips. Make three layers of 5 cotton strips arranged side by side. Lay a 6-inch pipe cleaner at one end and roll cotton strips around it. Bend pipe cleaner at a right angle 2 1/2 inches from one end for the neck. Bend again one inch from the end to make the head. Fold end of pipe cleaner under the body to hold. Unroll 2 more cotton balls and wrap around body to make proportional to the head.

2. To make the tail, unroll one cotton ball and divide in half lengthwise. Twist cotton until it forms a cord that doubles on itself. Cut to 1 1/2 inches and glue end with Fabri-tac. Glue to back end of lamb body.

3. To craft feet, for each foot, unroll one cotton ball and divide it lengthwise. Roll strip into a flat spiral and glue the end to hold. Pinch into an almond shape. Cut a 3/4-inch piece of pipe cleaner and bend in half. Glue to narrow end of cotton shape. Repeat process for all four feet. Glue to bottom of lamb body.

4. Make the face. Use Sobo glue to pinch the front of the head into a "snout." Glue seed beads on for eyes.

5. For the ears, cut lamb ear shapes out of cotton cosmetic pads. Glue onto head with Fabri-tac.
