Since children like this tradition, rabbits also appeared in the form of soft toys. They are often used to decorate the house or give as gifts to relatives or friends.
This master class will help everyone who wants to sew their own Easter bunny. This simple craft can be done with your child.
Materials and tools:
• cotton fabric;
• threads (white, pink);
• needle;
• braid;
• padding polyester;
• beads (black, 3 pieces);
• scissors.
1. To start making the Easter Bunny, you need a template. Therefore, first we draw the shape of a rabbit on paper and carefully cut it out. This will be the template for the future crafts.
2. Now we transfer the pattern to the fabric. Fold the fabric in half, apply the rabbit template, trace along the contour and cut exactly along the line. You should get two identical parts.To make a rabbit, it is best to take linen or cotton fabric, plain or with a small pattern.
3. For decoration we will need a bright, narrow braid. We cut off a piece of braid, apply it to the rabbit’s body and sew it on so that no stitches are visible on the front side. We cut off the braid protruding beyond the edge of the figure. For sewing we use white threads.
4. We bring the figure to life. We make a face for the rabbit using beads. Sew on the eyes using black beads. We do not cut the thread; it will be useful for sewing on the next part.
5. Having sewn on the eyes, attach the nose with the same thread as the eyes. Having secured the nose, we make a mustache. To do this, we thread the thread through the bead several times (about 4-5 times) to create several loops.
6. Next you need to cut the loops of thread threaded through the bead. Use scissors to trim the edges of the threads so that the mustache is the same on both sides. Now they look like real ones.
7. Having finished designing the face, we begin sewing together the parts of the rabbit. We sew the parts together manually using a seam “over the edge” with pink threads. We start sewing from the bottom, from the paws. Make sure the stitches are the same.
8. We do not sew the rabbit completely, leaving the bottom unsewn. Through this hole we fill the figure with padding polyester. Distribute it evenly so that all parts of the rabbit are filled. The figure should be a little flat, so we fill it with padding polyester not very tightly. If there is no padding polyester, you can replace it with another filler, for example, cotton wool, padding polyester, holofiber or others.
9. Having filled the rabbit with padding polyester, we sew up the place of filling with a seam “over the edge”. OK it's all over Now. The Easter Bunny craft is ready!
10. The rabbit will become an original decoration for the holiday table.Also, a bright figurine will decorate a basket of eggs, which you can give to friends.
