    Dress up your door. Glue some plastic eggs to the fake fir wire wreath. Then, situate the stuffed bunnies so that they appear to be sitting facing each other at the bottom of the wreath. Glue them into place as well and hang the holiday decoration on your front door. You're ready for Easter parties, Easter guests and any Easter celebration.
