Bunnies 4 spring

Well, I have gotten up and going on Windows8, this computer stuff is tough. I have had problems with getting photos on line, but here are some on my ideas for a spring (or Easter basket/shirt items).


I have make lots of these cute bunnies, as pins, clips and could be used as easter basket fillers, or put on a florist plastic card holder.

Check out the pic's! I have included a pattern for the bunny, note the measurements I have put on the picture. All you need to do is print the picture and copy it in UR printer enlarging it to the size I have on the picture, about 4 1/2 inches. You can make it bigger or smaller.

These bunnies are made out of canvas or muslin fabric (or go wild and pick out some pink sheeting or whatever, is in UR mind will see the vision). Here is what you will need to make alot of bunnies.

1. 1/4 yd of some kind of fabric for the body of the bunny
2. Use your craft wire for the ears.
3. I like to draw the face with pens. (Micron01 #1 arhival ink found in the scrapbook section)
4. Pink fabric paint, Blue for the nose.
5. Sewing machine to sew the sides together.
6. Clothes pins clip style, or pin back for making her into a pin.
7. Small piece of scrap fabric for a bow tie.

go gather up these items and I will be working on the directions for the cutie.


To get started you need to enlarge or decrease the pattern, I have measured my bunny, as 5x4" when this bunny is finished. You are going to stuff the darn thing to bring it to life. As you can see I put a ruler next to the pattern so you could gauge the size. I would measure the protractor right next to the pattern to see if you got it to the right size. What the heck it could be any size.

Cut out the bunny. Cut 2 the front and the back.

Cut a slit in one of the patterns,(this will be the back. needed for stuffing and putting in the craft wires for the ears).

On the front side mark the face features,(remember the cuter the eyes with expression the better) so use the recommended pen) Paint the inside of the nose pink, blush in the cheeks and ears with a light effect just like blusher on your face. Dot the center eyes with black pen and then add a small white dot for highlight with a fabric paint that comes with a pointy tip (I used the Tulip PUFFY paint, if puts just the right dot. Practice with a scrape piece of fabric.

Sew the two pieces together (this the face showing ----this is a raw edges showing, easy plseee). Insert the wiring in the ears, you can cut to size if you want, or bend the wire in one ear and then go on to the next ear. You now stuff the face of the bunny, only slightly, these would make it a soft look.

Sew up the back with small stitches, or you could glue it up also, whatever, you do best. ADD a cute bow under the chin. Voilá a cute bunny, add the clothes pin or a pin back.
Look at how cute and cleaver you are.
