Bunny Easter Egg Holders!

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!
