I remember waking up one Easter morning at my grandma’s house to
find this cute bunny in my Easter basket.
I have always loved my Easter bunny.
So, when my kids were asked to participate in a charity bazaar around
Easter time, I thought it would be fun to recreate this bunny and fill the
Easter egg with candy! I took my kids to
the local fabric store and let them pick out Polar fleece in their favorite
patterns. I bought a ¼ of a yard off of
each bolt.
I then cut the fleece into
rectangles 10” x 12”. You can make your
rectangle smaller of bigger if you want a big or little bunny.
Next, with right side facing down, I roledl one corner of the fabric to the middle.
Then, I turned the fabric and repeated with the other corner.
Next, I brought both ends together and pinched the sides about two inches from the end of the fabric. This will made the ears.
Then, I folded back the fabric about a quarter of the way. This created the face.
Using a rubber band, I put it around the fabric to hold the face and ears in place.
Next it was fun to make the face. With glue I add google eyes, a small pom pom nose and tied a ribbon around the rubber band.
For a boy bunny I tied the bow on the bottom of the bunny.
For a girl bunny I tied the ribbon on top.
Lastly, I added a cute medium size pom pom on the back for a tail and filled a plastic egg with candy placing it in the back of the bunny.
My kids loved making these bunnies and already want to make some more!
