Here’s a cute little Easter bunny to add to a child’s
Easter basket. Or make several and add one at each place setting for Easter
dinner.
Easter Egg
Bunny
Materials:
2-1/2” Styrofoam® egg, scraps of pastel print calico
fabrics, pinking shears, ruler, pencil or fabric marker, tacky glue and jewelry
glue, foam brush, 2-1/2” white or straw doll hat, two 5mm wiggle eyes, two 5mm
white pompoms, 3mm pink pompom, scraps of white and pink felt, scrap of
cardboard
1. Using the ruler and pencil or fabric marker, draw
3/4” squares on fabric scraps. Cut out squares with pinking shears. You’ll need
approximately 30 squares to cover the egg.
2. Water down the tacky glue to a consistency that
will be easy to spread with the foam brush. Working one fabric square at a
time, glue squares to egg, overlapping edges. Cover egg completely with fabric
squares. Allow to dry.
3. Print out patterns to 1-1/2" in height. Using pattern, cut out feet from cardboard. Glue a
piece of white felt to cardboard. Allow to dry. Trim felt to cardboard.
4. Using pattern, cut out two white felt ears and two
pink felt ears. Glue a pink ear to a white ear. Allow to dry. Apply small
amount of glue to bottom of pink ear. Fold ears in half at bottom edge. Allow
to dry.
5. Glue hat to top of egg. Glue an ear to each side
of hat.
6. Glue on eyes (using jewelry glue) and pompoms as
shown in photo. Make a small bow from ribbon and glue to egg as shown.
7. Glue bottom of egg to feet.
Adorable.
