DIY: Bunny ornament

IMG_2721Just in time for Easter! This little felt bunny is perfect for your Easter trimmings or a super cute addition to an Easter basket. With minimal supplies and basic sewing skills you can make one, two, or a whole litter of these cuties. A complete pattern with bunny templates is attached to this post. Let me show you how easy these are to make!

Here is what you’ll need: wool felt, embroidery thread, stuffing, and some basic sewing tools.

First, you transfer the pattern to the felt using a transfer pencil. Draw the transfer outline outside the pattern lines and then cut the bunny just inside the transfer lines. (See below that I did not do this, so my bunny has a slightly pink edge.) Also, make the lines as light as you can. I recommend testing your transfer line on a little scrap of felt. Then, cut out two bunnies and embroider the pattern on each one.

After you embroider the pattern, just blanket stitch the two bunny pieces together.

Leave a one-inch gap so you can add your stuffing. Then, close the gap using the same blanket stitch.

  1. I really want to try this. Do you think brown felt instead of white would be cute and woodsy? Or would it look like a muddy less-than-pristine Easter bunny? I ask, only because I happen to have brown felt on hand! Love the appliqué ears, btw.
