What you will Need

Step 1: Print the Pattern
Print the pattern using your standard printer and tape the pieces together.

Step 2: Cut the Fabrics
Using the pattern piece cut two bunny shapes. Then cut two 4″ wide pieces of contrasting fabric for the gusset
Step 3: Stitch the Gusset
Take the strip of fabric and and pin it right sides together with one of the bunny pieces. Fold one small end over 1/2″ and press. Stitch the gusset using a 1/4″ seam allowance until it meets the end of the start of the gusset. Add the other bunny piece to the other side of the gusset also right sides together using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Leave an opening on the bottom to turn right the bunny.


Step 4: Turn Right Sides Out
Turn the bunny right sides out using the opening you left in the bottom.

Step 5: Stuff the Bunny
Using the fiberfill stuff the bunny to the amount you like.

Step 6: Close the Opening
Using ladder stitch close the opening on the bottom.
Step 7: Add the Tail
Take a large pom pom and stitch it to the back of the bunny to act as the tail. You can purchase one or make your own. If you would like to make your own you can check out this tutorial.

Step 8: Add the Nose
Use a Dollar Tree wooden heart as the nose. I used hot glue for this.

Step 9: Add the Eyes
I used screw eyes to my bunny by poking holes in the face and adding the eyes.

Step 10: Add the Carrot
Go to Dollar Tree and purchase an Easter garland. Take the carrot and attach twine through the holes and tie in a bow.

Step 11: Add the Bow
I created a bow for my bunny. If you have trouble with making bows check out this course it will put you in the right direction.
