    White Burlap Bunnies

    White burlap bunnies

    These bunnies are multiplying rapidly around the house! For the past few nights, I've been working on these easy-to-make white burlap bunnies while watching TV. Before I knew it, I had made 9 of them. One fell in the floor and Lucy, our dog, snapped it up and ripped it to shreds before I could do anything! I guess they look like dog toys to her.

    They are made just like my easy-to-make fabric hearts. Remember those?  First, I found a pattern to use and printed it.  I found this one online.

    Next, I cut 2 pieces of  white burlap larger than my pattern and then traced around the pattern with a brown marker.

    Then I hand-stitched the bunny using DMC embroidery thread. I've found that the embroidery thread works better than regular thread when stitching burlap pieces together. I left a small opening so that I could stuff them with polyester fiberfill.  After stuffing them, I trimmed close to the stitching  with scissors and gave my bunnies some eyes using black buttons.

    And, of course, bunnies need some cottontails, right? So I just happened to have some of this trim left over from another project so I snipped off the balls and hot-glued them onto the bunnies.

    And to finish them off, I added a little green bow! Aren't they cute? I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with them, but you can be sure it's part of spring-i-fying the Crossroads!

        Hi Marie,
        I'm sending you an email with the template that I used to create the bunnies. I do not remember what size they ended up being but you could always make one out of scrap fabric to test the size!

      These would be cute if you attached them to a stick and then stick them in plants or flower arrangements. . .for inside the house of course. Very cute and easy!

      These are just too cute! Too bad I can't sew a lick. I supposed I could use fabric glue. Anything that land on the floor is fair game for dogs. Our two doxies would have torn them to shreds too.

      Jane, these are just adorable! What about sewing them on the machine? I am thinking it might save a bit of time. The embroidery does give them a special look though~

      Jane those are so cute, and my dog would have done the same thing. I opened a package on Christmas and it was new fuzzy slippers, the dog looked in the box, grabbed a slipper, and ran off to play with it. I laughed so hard she thought it was a new toy for her and I didn't have the heart to take it from her. So my new slippers went to the dog.
