Easter Bunny Craft
We have a cute and easy bunny craft to show you today. If you enjoyed making the DIY Easter Treat Pouch, you will love this bunny charm! Everyone will love this cute bunny.
Easter felt crafts are so easy to make and super fun! This charm will be so cute hanging on your child’s Easter basket or around the house for decoration.
I was just at a local store and saw Easter basket charms and goodness they were pricey! Make your own for just a fraction of the cost.
Plus, they are just so fun to make! I hate paying for things that I can easily make at home and have fun too!
Variation ideas:
- Color Schemes. You can mix up colors of felt and make a variety of color schemes. These are so cute to hang on an Easter basket. Customize each bunny charm in your child’s favorite colors.
- Fabric Glue. You could also let the kids help. If they are not old enough to use a needle, try using fabric glue instead. I just think these are so precious and how fun to make with your kids.
- Googly Eyes. Substitute googly eyes instead of stitching for a cute Easter bunny. This is an easy kid friendly option if you have younger children helping make this.
- Pom Poms. Decorate this bunny craft for kids with mini pom-poms or cotton balls. You can purchase small ones in a multitude of colors at the craft store.
Kids will love to help sort the different colors of felt. Another child could help glue and so forth! Just let each one help with what is appropriate for their age.
This felt Easter craft is simple but turns out so cute and really adorable. Feel free to make this your own and use what you already have in your craft box.
List of supplies for Easter Felt Crafts:
- Felt – at least 5 different colors
- Scissors
- Bunny template
- 2b pencil or black gel pen – for tracing the template on felt
- Needle and thread ( I love the sewing kits)
- Pink highlighter – optional but so cute!
- Ribbon
How to make a Bunny Charm:
- Step 1. Print and cut out the patterns for the template. We made it so easy for you with this easy and free template.
- Step 2. Place the template patterns on the selected felt fabrics. Trace around the sides using 2b pencil or black gel pen. Cut out the patterns nicely.
- Step 3. Take any one of the body parts and draw the face details on it using a black gel pen. Prepare black thread and a needle to stitch the traced face details of the bunny. Stitch neatly and evenly.
- Step 4. Prepare a lighter colored thread in a needle and start stitching the other parts on the front body part.
- Step 5. You can do a running stitch or flat blanket stitch to attach the other parts. In choosing the needle, keep in mind to choose smaller needle for smaller size projects.
- Step 6. Now take the other body part (back side) and place it under the patterned part (with the patterned part facing up).
Start stitching the body parts from anywhere but make sure to stop when you cross the first ear; also keep a small opening for stuffing.
- Step 7. Take a small piece of ribbon (around 4 to 5 inches should do) and fold it into half, creating a loop. Place 1 or 2 cm of the open ends of the ribbon in between the body parts at the bottom end.
Now stitch the ribbon and the body parts together to join them. Continue to stitch but keep a small opening for the stuffing.
- Step 8. Cut the left over felts into smaller pieces; we’ll be using these for the stuffing. Insert the scrap felt pieces through the small opening.
- Step 9. Once you are done stuffing stitch and close the open end nicely. Use a pink highlighter to add blush shades on both cheeks of the bunny and your charm is ready!
How to use a bunny charm:
- Easter baskets. Personalize a bunny charm for each child. Hang on their Easter baskets for a fun surprise.
- Bookbags. These would be darling charms to hang on bookbags.
