I don’t know about you, but my girls are getting super excited for the Easter Bunny to arrive in a couple weeks. \u00a0 We have been decorating at my house and to get ready for this Easter season, I decided to make DIY Stuffed Easter Bunnies with scrap fabric and ribbon I had laying around the house. \u00a0I’ve created a tradition that every Easter I give the girls some sort of Easter Bunny. When the girls were younger, I gave them Anne Geddes<\/a> Baby Bunnies (she no longer sells them, but you can find them on ebay), Manuella<\/a> bunnies (a cool modern kids’ toy designer), Jellycat<\/a> bunnies (one of my all time favorite stuffed animal makers), to name a few… but now that the girls are older, I like coming up with more creative bunnies – ones that we can make together and create memories along the way. \u00a0I’ve seen several ways to make your own stuffed bunnies and this particular style caught my eye. \u00a0I designed an\u00a0Anders Ruff FREE PRINTABLE Stuffed Easter Bunny<\/a>\u00a0 to share with you, so you can make some too!<\/p>\n

Supplies needed:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Anders Ruff FREE PRINTABLE Stuffed Easter Bunny<\/a>
\nScrap Fabric
\nScrap Ribbon
\nSewing Machine
\nNeedle & Thread
\nPinking Scissors
\nSewing Pins
\n2.5″ – 3″ Yarn Poms – Tutorial Here
\n<\/a>Pillow Stuffing
\nWooden skewer\/dowel rod \u00a0*helpful to poke stuffing in the corners<\/p>\n

—————————————–<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Print template on 8.5×11 cardstock.
\n2. Trim along line.
\n3. Cut two pieces of fabric, allowing 1\/4\u201d extra all the way around template. Fabric will be approximately 7\u201c x 11.5\u201d.
\n4. \u00a0Trace bunny on reverse side of fabric, 1\/4\u201d outside of the template line (draw it freehand, so the bunny is bigger than template).\u0003 If you don’t want bunny to be bigger, that is fine too… but this gives you a larger size option.
\n5. \u00a0Pin both pieces of fabric together, (right side to right side) and cut both at once with pinking scissors.
\n6. \u00a0Flip fabric and place together (wrong side to wrong side), so right sides are exposed. Repin together.\u0003
\n7. \u00a0Starting at the bottom left foot, sew 1\/4\u201d along the entire edge until you reach the right foot.<\/p>\n

9. Leave 2\u201d opening at the bottom for stuffing.
\n10. \u00a0Stuff bunny. A wooden skewer or dowel rod comes in handy, when trying to get the stuffing in the bunny and feet corners. \u00a0You have to poke it in to fill the corners.
\n11. \u00a0Hand stitch bottom to close.
\n12. Tie ribbon around neck.\u0003 (I used 3\/4″ ribbons in different colors – I tied in a knot and trimmed off the edges to create little bow-ties)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

13. \u00a0Sew on a 2.5\u201d – 3\u201d yarn pom for bunny tail. Tutorial Here<\/a>
\n14. Tails will create a way for bunnies to stand upright.
\n15. Create several bunnies with various shades & colors!<\/p>\n

Are these bunnies cute or what?? \u00a0Brynne helped me pick out color combos and Graycie helped me stuff the bunnies and also helped me make the yarn pom bunny tails. \u00a0The girls and I loved them so much, that we decided to put them on our mantel display this year! \u00a0And the best part… I didn’t spend a dime like I have on several other Easters – all my supplies were found right here, in my house!!!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

How fun would these be in your kids’ Easter Baskets? \u00a0Or pass them out as favor gifts if you are hosting an Easter dinner at your home. \u00a0You can even make adult versions by making them in neutral colored fabrics such as linens & burlap with twine neck ties.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a0Even my husband commented on how much he liked these festive little bunnies… and we didn’t even prompt him to say it! \u00a0Have fun creating new Easter Memories for your family – We would love to hear what Easter traditions your family does each year! \u00a0Feel free to share with us your family favorites!<\/p>\n
