Learn how to make a felt bunny with felt scraps and thread! So cute!


Why is it that the simplest of projects tend to make little kids the happiest? As I pulled out my felt stash to make this craft, my daughter bee-lined it over to my side and immediately began assembling the bits of felt to make play scenes. I had hardly finished making my bunny before he was whisked away on an adventure. I think she likes him.



First, cut a shape like the one pictured above. (I got a little ahead of myself and stitched the face before taking a picture of the shape, but you get the idea.) You don’t have to be perfect with your cutting. My bunny measured about 2 inches when it was completed. You can make yours smaller or larger.



Using one strand of dark grey embroidery floss, back stitch the eyes and mouth. Weave the ends into the back of the felt, tie a knot, and snip the thread after each facial feature. This is especially important if you are using white felt since you will see the line connecting the two eyes together through the felt.


Use two strands of pink embroidery floss to stitch a tiny nose. So cute! You can also dip a Q-tip into powdered blush and tap it onto the bunny’s cheeks. I usually do this and forgot. It adds a sweet touch.



Fold the bunny in half. At this point, you can add a tiny bit of cotton stuffing and stitch around it. (For felt projects, I find it easier to do it that way instead of stitching and then pushing the stuffing in.)



Stitch around the edges of the bunny using two strands of pink or white embroidery thread.


You can make a bunny or a whole family of bunnies using this simple tutorial. We’ve had fun using this little bunny for pretend play, and he looks adorable peeking out of the Easter basket.


Hope you have an amazing day!
