To make: Cut very small rabbit ears from watercolor paper. Use a pink colored pencil to fill in the pink interior of the ear. Cut the top 1/4 to 1/3 off a strawberry. Thinly slice, discarding (aka eating) the outer pieces so that you are left with a piece that is flat on both sides. Use a paring knife to cut two small slits in the top of the berry, on either side of the point; insert the ears. Cut a small slit in the center of the bottom of the berry, slide onto the rim of the glass.
