Materials Needed For The Felt Bunny Craft

You can use any coloured felt for this project but make sure the felt used is a wool mix. 100% synthetic felt is quite stiff, and in my opinion, does not work well in sewing projects like this

• Felt fabric – we used white, ivory, yellow, pink, bubble gum pink, and latte/caramel. The names vary depending on who you purchase them from.
• Sharp scissors
• Craft glue or fabric glue (tacky white glue works well)
• Needle and thread
• Pink highlighter or felt tip
• Pencil – for tracing template
• Felt Bunny Craft Template

Although we used felt in this project you could also use other scrap materials. Just be aware that the edges will fray over time unless they are hemmed/finished off correctly.

How To Make Your Felt Bunny

Cut Out Your Fabric Pieces

Print out this Bunny Template and cut out the pattern pieces.

Use a pencil to trace each pattern piece onto the selected felt fabrics. Cut the pieces out and lightly draw a bunny face on one of the bunny silhouettes.

Add Detail To The Bunny’s Face

Using a dark-coloured thread carefully sew in the bunny’s facial features. Alternatively, you could use a dark-coloured fabric pen or sharpie.

Next, use a pink highlighter to create blush shades on both cheeks of the bunny.

Sewing & Stuffing The Bunny

Use a needle and thread to join the front part of the bunny with the back part. You can start your stitch from anywhere but remember to keep a small opening for stuffing (i suggest the bottom of the Bunny). I recommend using blanket stitch to sew uo the Bunny, but you could also use back stitch. Although this becomes fiddly around the smaller areas like the ears, and restricts getting the stuffing inot them..

Sew around the whole Bunny leaving a good thumb width free to poke the stuffing in through. You can stuff the Bunny with either the leftover felt pieces or some soft toy stuffing. If you use felt scraps, cut the leftover felt pieces into smaller pieces and push them inside the bunny through its open end. Use the pencil to push the stuffing towards the head part of the bunny.

When you’re satisfied with the amount of stuffing, continue sewing around the edge until you reach your sewing start point. Tie off with two tight knots and push the needle into the stuffed bunny and out the other side. Pull slightly on the excess thread and cut off carefully. This should result in the end of the thread pulling back inside the bunny.

How To Make The Felt Egg

The felt egg bed has two parts, one full egg shape, and one halfish shape. Place the smaller part on the top of the larger part and match their bottom ends. Prepare needle and thread to join both parts together. You can do a running stitch, blanket stitch or back stitch to join the pieces.

Finally, it’s time to decorate your egg. For this craft we chose to glue on hearts, but you could use any shape.

You could also sew decorations onto the egg including beads and sequins. But if you do want to sew decorations on, they need to be added before you sew the egg pieces together!
