* The size of your sock will determine how
big your bunny is. If the sock is bigger
than you need, you can always cut the top to get
a smaller bunny. Our sample used a ladies
crew sock.
- Pour about 1/2 cup Polly pellets or
uncooked rice into a sock.
- Add Polyester fiberfill to your sock
until it is the size you want the body of
your bunny to be.
- Using a piece of yarn or string the same
color as the sock, tie the sock closed just
above the stuffed area.
- Start adding more stuffing (fiberfill)
to the sock above where you tied it.
This will be the head.
- Once the head is the size you want, tie
it off with string or yarn.
- There should still be more sock above
the head which will be used to make the
ears. Cut down the center of the
portion of sock remaining above the head -
dividing it in two.
- If desired, trim the two ear pieces into
an ear shape by cutting off and rounding the
corners.
- To color the center of the ears, the
belly and the cheeks either brush with
blush, color in with a pink or rose crayon
or brush on some fabric or acrylic paint.
- Tie a ribbon around the neck between the
head and body.
- Glue the 1 1/2" pompom to the back of
the bunny for a tail
- Cut several strands of button thread to
3" long. Hold the strands together as
one and make a knot in the center of the
strands. Trim. These will be
your bunnies whiskers.
- Glue the knot in the whiskers to the
center of the bunnies face and glue a 1/4"
pompom on top of the knot for a nose.
- Glue on googly eyes above the nose and
whiskers.
- Using fabric glue in a squeeze bottle or
a black permanent marker, draw a mouth and
eyebrows.
- Feet are optional - if making with small
children, either eliminate this step or have
an adult do this part. Cut one "bump"
off of a bumpy pipecleaner. Fold the
bump in half and hot glue it to the bottom
of your bunny for one foot. Repeat for
the second foot.
Ideas:
- Try making bunnies out of pastel colored
socks.
- Check your local dollar store for cheap
white socks.
