DIY Easter bunnies: master class. Master class “Easter bunnies” Easter bunny craft

In Russia, Easter is associated with colored eggs and Easter cakes (by the way, here you go). But in Western countries, the hero of the spring holiday is the rabbit. On the eve of the holiday, young children are told that the rabbit has a nest in which he hides chocolate eggs of different colors. And the children have the opportunity to find such a nest on Sunday morning. But sweets go only to those children who behave well and obey their parents.

Although in Russia this custom remains, when a gift is brought, children ask where it comes from? And the adults say: “ It was the rabbit who gave the gift!“And it has always remained a mystery - what kind of rabbit is so kind and generous, who constantly gives gifts? I don’t know if this has happened to you, but in our family, adults always surprised us with the mysterious Easter Bunny.

And on this occasion, an idea arose! What if we reveal the secret for children and make several versions of the rabbit, so that, like on New Year’s, there is a certain symbol in the form of Santa Claus, only for Easter - in addition to Easter eggs, make beautiful rabbits in the form of crafts. Moreover, you can also take a prize by making, for example, a basket with Easter eggs inside, and there is a nest where a rabbit sits, which the child made the day before. How do you like this idea?

So. Let's begin...

Some traditions of Western countries are taking root in our country. If you want to please children, you can make a souvenir rabbit from various materials. And right now, we are starting...

First, let's look at the simplest version of fabric crafts. To do this, you do not need to have special skills or specific experience. Even children can cope with the task.

You will need to prepare the following materials:

Faint fabric.
Synthetic fluff or cotton wool.
Finished pattern.
Satin ribbons.
Rhinestones.
Thread and needle.
Knitted flowers.
Glue.
Pencil.
Scissors.

In order to make the Easter bunny, we need a pattern. If you have artistic talents, you can draw the animal yourself. But you can find many printable options on the Internet. Choose the option you like best.

Now all that remains is to cut out the pattern from paper.

Now you need to lay the blank on the fabric, trace the outline with a pencil and cut it out.

Since we decided to make three Easter bunnies, we need to cut out two blanks from three types of fabric.

Now fold the pairs of blanks with the front sides facing inward. Then sew them by hand or by machine. Do not stitch a few centimeters from the bottom. The hole is necessary so that the workpieces can be turned out and filled with cotton wool.

Now you need to turn the rabbit out and stuff it with stuffing. Sew the workpiece from the bottom using a cap seam.

Glue eyes onto the craft; for this you can use black rhinestones or beads.

All that remains is to secure the bow or other decorations.

The Easter bunnies are ready, you can decorate your interior with them.

Easter bunny for Easter 2019 made of paper

A festive bunny can also be made from paper. This is one of the simplest options. This craft can be used as a stand or gift wrapping.

For the craft, you will need to prepare a stapler, scissors, glue, colored paper, cardboard, as well as the pattern below. Use a color printer to print.

At the initial stage we will need to make a stand-torso. For the boy and girl bunny, use different colors. For example, cut out a 3.5-16 cm rectangle from green cardboard. Then roll it into a tube and secure it with glue or a stapler, as shown in the image below.

From the printed pattern you need to cut out the legs of our rabbit, glue them to white cardboard, then cut them out and fix them to the body with glue.

At the next stage, in a similar way we will prepare circles for the girl and a tie for the boy. Now you need to cut out the animal’s face, stick it on cardboard, trim the edges and secure it to the body.

Now all that remains is to glue the nose, ear slits and mouth. Draw the eyes and mustache with a black marker.

Just a few minutes and the original souvenir is ready. You can give eggs to your guests on Christ's Sunday.

DIY felt rabbit

Large and expensive gifts are not given on Easter. It is customary to present Easter cakes, eggs and cute souvenirs. Recently, another symbol of Easter Sunday has appeared in our country - the rabbit. We have already considered several options for how to make it, now we will use felt.

For the craft you need to prepare:

Several pieces of felt in different colors.
Multi-colored threads.
Scissors.
Needle.
Glue.
Pencil.
Pattern

For this craft you need a pattern. To do this, draw an animal on a white sheet of paper and then cut out the silhouette.

For one craft you need to make 4 blanks. Each pair of parts should be different in color. Attach the pattern to a piece of felt, outline it with a pencil, and carefully cut out the rabbit along the contour.

You can cut out all four pieces completely, but if you are using thick material, it will be difficult to sew all the pieces together. Therefore, only the ears can be cut out for the inside.

Now connect all the pieces. Cut out the parts carefully so that the pieces do not stick out.

To prevent the parts from moving out, you need to fix them. To do this, apply a small amount of glue in the area of the ears and head.

Trim edges if necessary.

Now the blanks need to be sewn, use a regular seam. Start with the ears.

Use a decorative stitch at the bottom. Don't forget that there should be a pocket at the bottom, so don't sew all the pieces at the bottom. You should get the same result as in the photo below.

The hare base is ready. Now you need to make the tail. To do this, prepare thick threads and make a tail out of them, similar to a pompom. To do this, wind the threads around your hand so that you get a ring.

Then pull the middle with a thread and tie securely.

Now the threads need to be cut along the edges and fluffed.

Sew the tail to the body.

Eyes can be made from small buttons or from a small piece of black felt. Sew in the appropriate place.

The animal's nose can be sewn with black threads or a triangle can be sewn on from a piece of dark felt.

A cute and simple souvenir is ready. You can decorate your table with it or give it as a gift to your loved ones.

Schemes and pattern of a rabbit for Easter

As you already understood, the Easter Bunny can be made from various materials. But the basis of the craft is the pattern. If you don’t know how to draw, you can use ready-made diagrams. They just need to be printed and used for their intended purpose. You can choose the most suitable option. And if you don’t have a printer, you can simply hold a blank white piece of paper to the monitor and simply draw the silhouette.

The smiles of our children illuminate everything around, isn’t it happiness when children are happy? So prepare a nest for this eared guest and prepare Easter gifts!

In this master class I will show 10 ways to make an Easter bunny with your own hands with step-by-step photos and videos. Don't forget, the gift of an Easter Bunny brings good luck all year round!

The most traditional gift and symbol of Easter is the Easter egg. But second place on the list of gifts for Easter is rightfully occupied by the Easter Bunny. Gifts in the form of rabbits and bunnies are very pleasant to receive not only for children, adults are also pleased with such gifts!

In many families, parents tell their children to be obedient, so that on the Resurrection of Christ, the wonderful, kind Easter Bunny will bring them brightly painted Easter eggs. To do this, in the secluded corners of the house, the kids built cozy nests for him, using their hats, panama hats, and caps for this. What a pleasure it is for the children to find decorated and, in addition, various sweets in this nest.

Where and when was such a wonderful Easter tradition born? In the fifteenth century, the Germans gave the world the Easter Bunny. At first he came only to German children, then he began to delight the children in America, after which he began to travel all over the world, bringing joy to families on the bright good holiday of Easter.

Easter bunny - how to make it yourself

01.Egg basket in the shape of an Easter bunny

On the bright holiday of Easter, it is customary for the whole family to go to church services. Treats are placed in a basket with a beautiful towel and taken to God’s Temple for consecration. To make it interesting for your children to participate in the Easter service, make for them individual miniature baskets for Easter cakes or paints.

Today we will make a fun paper basket in the shape of a cute Easter bunny.

For work we will collect the following tools and materials:

two sheets of regular cardboard;
scissors;
a piece of blue wrapping paper;
glue stick;
heat gun;
pen or pencil;
tube with PVA glue;
cotton pad;
colored paper;
eggs;
thin satin ribbons.

First, we will glue the wrapping paper onto a sheet of cardboard. To do this, use a glue stick. First, generously grease one side of the cardboard, glue the paper and carefully iron it with your hands so that there are no bubbles or creases. Then we will paste the cardboard on the reverse side as well.

The result is a beautiful double-sided blue cardboard. You also need to prepare a stencil in the shape of a rabbit’s head (size 10x15 cm). You can draw it yourself, but it’s easier to find an image on the Internet and print a suitable drawing on a sheet of paper.

Using the stencil, we cut out the following details: 2 rabbit heads, a long strip measuring 2x21 cm, a wide strip measuring 7x18 cm.

We take one “head” piece and glue a wide strip to it in a semicircle. At this stage we use a heat gun and apply glue along the edge of the strip.

Glue the second “head” piece on top. It turns out to be a deep basket.

All that remains is to fix the thin long strip. Glue it on the sides of a wide strip, this will be the handle of the basket.

To make the rabbit's face, we will use colored paper and a cotton pad. Cut out a heart from red paper - this will be the nose, and a semicircle - the mouth. We make eyes and antennae from black paper. And we’ll cut out the cheeks from a cotton pad. We glue all the parts with regular PVA glue.

The result is a magnificent and unusual basket with the Easter bunny.

All that remains is to fill it with beautiful eggs with ornaments and bows made of thin satin ribbons.

This basket holds 2-3 sacred eggs.

Little ones will love holding their own individual baskets of Easter treats.

For your daughter you can make a basket in red or pink, but for your son it is better to use blue and green shades.

02. Easter bunny on a skewer

Try decorating your table with this fun craft – a felt rabbit. All you need to know is to hold the needle in your hands and glue the beads with glue. By the way, it is better to use transparent glue, like a gel. Well, you can stuff the toy with either cotton wool or cereal.

For the craft you need to prepare:

felt and ribbon;
beads and glue;
skewer and cotton wool;
needle and thread.

Cut out bunny figures. To create a three-dimensional figure, we need two parts.

We sew both parts together with red thread. We reach the tail and stop.

We fill the space between the two parts with cotton wool.

We insert a skewer in the center and complete the connection of the parts near it.

Glue a bow in the center of the bunny's neck.

Decorate the middle of the bow with a red heart.

Add three plastic flowers. We glue them randomly.

The wonderful Easter bunny is ready. All that remains is to find a place for him. This could be an Easter cake, a vase in the center of the table, or a pot of green wheat. Or maybe you have your own version of how to decorate the Easter table using such a bright bunny?

And here is our felt bunny’s friend. A friendly couple of handmade bunnies are ready to take their place on the Easter table.

Kids will love this egg warmer bunny. You can present it for breakfast as a toy, and the baby will see an interesting surprise in it. Or you can hide an Easter egg in such a heating pad and it will become a wonderful gift for loved ones.

To knit a toy you need:

yarn of white, green, gray colors;
a couple of beads for the eyes;
a little cotton wool or padding for paws.

Abbreviations:
VP - air loop;
RLS - single crochet.

So, the bunny consists of 2 main parts - the lower part with legs and tail, the upper part with the head, torso and arms.

We start knitting from the bottom. For this I use gray yarn. We collect 2 VP. 6 RLS should be connected to the far loop.

After this, we knit a circle until it reaches a circumference of 13 cm, this is exactly the measurement of the widest part of the egg. I got 30 loops. We knit 5 rows without changes and cut the thread.

The paws and tail are knitted the same way. Knit the same 2 VPs, then a circle of 6 RLS, 12 RLS, 18 RLS. The next 3 rows are knitted with 18 stitches without increasing or decreasing.

We evenly reduce the loops to 12 loops (knitting 2 loops together through one loop, then reduce to 12 loops and break the thread. Fill the parts with padding polyester and sew the tail at the back and the paws at the front.

Rabbit top

Take green yarn and start knitting in the same way as the bottom part. Due to the fact that the shape of the egg is still different, we make changes.
Row one: 6 sc;
Row two: 12 sc;
Row three: 18 RLS;
Rows from four to six: 24 sc;
Row seven: 30 sc;
From rows 8 to 10, knit without changes. Break the thread.

Paws

We start knitting the foot traditionally with 2 VP and 6 RLS. In the third row there are also 6 sc. We change the thread to green and 4 rows are knitted without changes.

Now we make a decrease of 1 loop in each row until 2 loops are formed in the row. Break the thread. Knit the 2nd leg in the same way.

Sew the legs to the body.

Head

Using white yarn, cast on 2 VPs, knit 6 sc, 12 sc, 18 sc in rows.
In 4, 5. 6 rows of 18 RLS. After this, we make a decrease in 6 loops in each row until a closed workpiece is formed.

Ears

Assembling the hare
We sew the ears to the head with the same yarn for an inconspicuous attachment.

We sew the head to the body and design the muzzle. 2 beads are sewn on for the eyes, the nose and mouth are embroidered with thread.

Our bunny egg warmer is ready!

04. Craft for children - corrugated paper bunny

The youngest children will be happy to model such a hare; the Easter craft will turn out to be voluminous and catchy. The base will be white corrugated paper - soft sheets of wrinkled texture. Such material is easy to find on sale; rolls cost a penny, so you can make anything else besides a hare. We will now describe in detail the methodology for making children's crafts.

What you need to prepare to create a bunny:

Cardboard and scissors for cutting out animal figures;
Roll of white crepe paper to create fluffy bunny fur;
Stapler and glue for attaching all parts, pieces of corrugated paper to the craft;
2 blue and 1 black half beads for eyes and nose.

Our bunny will be wearing a white fur coat. White crepe paper is suitable for making it. You can also replace it with cotton wool, polystyrene foam or napkins - whatever you have on hand. But our goal is to create crafts using corrugated paper, so we will focus on its availability.

Eyes and a nose made from ready-made half-beads will add expressiveness to the craft and will sparkle. They can be replaced with pieces of paper of the appropriate color. Scissors are needed for cutting out parts of the figure, as well as for processing paper.

Cut out pieces from cardboard that will become components of the bunny figurine: body, head with ears and paws. The body can be round, the same shape - the head, ears and legs - oblong. These are simple details that our imagination drew for us to create the chosen figure.

Next, you can fasten all the parts together or pre-fill the largest central part with pieces of corrugated paper. Cut white paper into small squares. Make so many of them that it will be enough to fill the entire figure later.

Further work will be reminiscent of assembling a mosaic - you will need to fill the entire surface of the cardboard with small fragments.

When you are sure that there are enough squares to fill the circle, coat it generously with glue. Start filling the paper space with soft pieces. Work very quickly before the glue dries. Take each piece individually with your fingers or tweezers and press it onto the cardboard.

Fill the circle with fur. Press not all of the part, but only part of it, onto the surface of the cardboard to create a three-dimensional effect.

Next, using a stapler, press all other parts to the central circle-body. In this case, you will get a secure fastening, but the metal staples will be visible on the paper. In the future, they can be hidden behind a layer of white fur.

Fill the entire surface of the paper bunny with white squares. The three-dimensional figure is ready.

And now all that remains is to design the face. For this we have prepared blue and black half beads. If they are on an adhesive basis, then immediately glue them to the face as sparkling eyes and a nose. Or apply glue first.

You can also replace the half beads with shifting eyes from the set. Glue two lumps of white paper as cheeks.

So the cute white corrugated paper bunny is ready. You can repeat the same procedure on the reverse side to get a double-sided craft.

05. Crochet applique “Easter Bunny”

To knit a bunny we will need hook No. 2, yarn of any color of medium thickness, scissors, a piece of Baby Elise Softy yarn for making eyes, and an iron.

We start knitting the hare from its body. To do this, we cast on 4 air loops, after which we connect the resulting chain into a ring with a connecting post.

We knit three air loops to lift to another row and knit this entire row with single crochet stitches, and when tying a ring, we insert the tool not into the loops of the ring, but into its hole. Using a connecting post, we “fix” the end of the row to its beginning.

Using these chain stitches we knit 4 single crochets.

After this, we knit 8 single crochets along the edge of the knitting, and then we knit air loops again, only in this case there should already be 3 of them. We fasten them to the edge of the knitting with a single crochet in the same loop from where we started knitting the air loops.

The result is the “tail” of a bunny. Next, we again knit 8 single crochets along the edge of the product, after which we begin knitting the hare’s head. To do this, we knit five double crochets into the second loop from the hook, after which we “fasten” the “fan” of loops to the row with a single crochet.

After this, we turn the knitting and knit 3 single crochets along the edge of the hare’s “head”. Then we knit 8 air loops.

The bunny “ears” are knitted as follows: 1 half crochet, 1 single crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 single crochet, 1 half crochet.

After the first ear is knitted, let's move on to the second. To do this, from the same loop from which we started knitting the first “eye”, we knit a chain of 8 chain loops.

We tear off the yarn and hide the tip on the wrong side of the applique. We’ll make eyes from a piece of Baby Elise Softy yarn: tie a knot at one end, pull the yarn through the place where the hare’s eye should be located, and then tie a knot on the wrong side again.

The Easter Bunny applique is ready. We iron it from the wrong side, paying special attention to the “ears”.

06. Easter bunny made of felt

Creativity is of great importance in raising children, because in the process of manual activity, imagination develops and coordination of movements improves. It is especially useful to make crafts for any occasion, then these are not just toys, but also decorative items.

Easter is approaching, while mothers are busy around the house, children can devote time to creativity. The process of making a hare is very simple; you will need a minimum amount of materials. To make a hare, it is better to use thin felt; it is convenient to make small-sized crafts from it. It’s especially nice that the edges of the material do not fray.

The Easter bunny can be used to decorate a basket with eggs, Easter cake, or simply placed on a holiday table.

Materials:

Felt for needlework. To make a hare, one sheet of any color is enough. Small pieces of felt of different colors: white for the eyes, red for the heart and nose.
Needle and thread. You can use thin wool or regular cotton threads.
Black beads for eyes.
Sintepon or synthetic padding.

The details of the paper pattern are cut out.

Paper parts are placed on a sheet of felt, and the hare's body is cut out. You should end up with two parts that are cut without allowances. The bottom of the hare is one piece without allowances.

The hare parts are folded and stitched. It is better to use a hand overcast stitch; stitches in the form of loops neatly close the open sections of the parts.

The hare's body is stuffed with synthetic fluff. You can use a long skewer to stuff narrow ears.

The bottom is sewn to the body stuffed with padding. A hand overlock stitch is used.

To make the tail, you can use any thread, preferably the same as for the overlock stitch. The threads are wound on small cardboard or on fingers.

They are intercepted in the middle with a short thread, the workpiece is carefully removed, the ends are shaped in the form of a circle.

A thread pompom is sewn to the back of the body, the tail is ready. You can highlight the ears and paws; for this, stitches are laid at the base of these parts.

The details of the eyes are cut out from white felt, and black beads are sewn to them. A heart and a nose are cut out of red felt. If desired, you can use a bead for the nose, in which case it will look neater.

Eyes and a nose are sewn to the hare's face, and a heart is sewn to the body. The felt Easter bunny is ready!

07. DIY hare using the amigurumi technique

In this master class we will knit an Easter bunny using the amigurumi technique.

To knit such a bunny we will need:

light and dark pink yarn;
2 black beads;
hook 1.75 mm;
padding polyester;
scissors;
needle.

We will knit the bunny from the bottom up. The choice of yarn color depends entirely on desire. However, when it comes to yarn thickness, the thinner the thread, the better. But you don’t need to take a very thin thread either. Children's Novelty yarn works well.

We make 2 loops and knit 6 SC in 2. This is the starting ring. Next, we perform 2 SC in each loop. We get 12 loops.

This is the maximum number of loops for our paws. Therefore, we next perform 6 rows of 12 STBN.

We knit 1 more of the same piece. We do not break the thread, but make 3 air loops. We connect 2 parts. Now we knit in a circle. As a result, we will knit 30 STBN.

We perform 1 row without increments. Now we will knit increases in only 4 places. Centered on the front, centered on the back and on the sides. With this increase we knit 3 rows.

We knit 1 row of 1 SC in each loop. Now we will immediately knit the head. Double the number of loops. Next, add through 1 loop. Then through 2 loops.

We knit the next 2 rows without increases or decreases. And then we decrease first after 2 loops, then after 1. And we decrease in each loop until closed.

We knit ears. They will also be pink, just a darker shade. We cast on a chain of 16 loops.

Then we knit 1 SS, into a new loop 2 STBN, then 1 PSTSN, then 2 STSN, 2 STS2N.

Now we will knit the front legs with the same yarn. We form a ring of 6 loops. And then we knit 5 rows of 6 SC.

Let's return to the ears and tie them on one side with yarn of the main color. We insert the hook into only one wall of the loop.

Now we sew the legs on the sides of the body.

Sew on the ears. Let's make a tail from yarn of a darker color. This will be a simple ring of 6 loops.

We embroider the nose and mouth. Let's make the eyes. For this we have 2 small black beads.

This is such a wonderful miniature crochet bunny!

Hello, dear guests and readers! I am glad to see you in this new article, dedicated to, if not a classic for us, but a very cute and bright symbol of Easter. Do you think making your own Easter bunny is difficult? But no

Although the rabbit tradition has not completely taken hold among us (it was born in Germany and is more typical for Catholics than for us), many people like the idea of this little animal as an Easter souvenir.

Rabbi was born when I had only been seriously interested in needlework for a very short time. Rabbi is not just a rabbit, he is also a kind of mascot for me. This is perhaps my favorite creation. He was born a couple of years ago just in the spring, so he is a full-fledged Easter bunny

His name is formed from two English words: rabbit + bee = Rabbee. As you probably already guessed, I gave this toy such an original name because of its color. Why did I call him Rabbi-kun in the title of the article? The fact is that the postfix “-kun” in Japanese means “friend”. That is, Rabbi-friend

Necessary materials

Our baby can be made from the following materials:

fabric with a stretch effect (I recommend: knitwear, fleece or faux fur);
felt for floral linings under the eyes, muzzle and nose;
threads in the color of the fabric;
black beads for eyes;
padding polyester for stuffing;
tailor's chalk, soap or a special pencil for transferring patterns onto fabric;
scissors;
glue “Moment” or similar;
marker for drawing the face;
paper for printing patterns (you can also use tracing paper by tracing patterns from the computer screen).

Rabbi's creation process

To get started, copy the Rabbit patterns below and print them out.

Attention!!! Consider what material you use! I sewed a toy from knitwear, so the rabbit turned out to be slightly larger than expected.

Now cut out the patterns and pin them to the material. Pay attention to the fabric pattern and the direction of the pile (if you are using faux fur).

Trace the patterns onto the fabric. Be sure to leave a small seam allowance, otherwise the rabbit will be somewhat smaller, and it will not be very convenient to sew. Carefully cut out the details of our future little rabbit.

Place the ears in pairs with the right sides facing inward and baste, then sew. Turn the ears inside out and stuff them with padding polyester.

The ears are ready! Now put them into the head, folded with both parts inward (the pattern shows where the ears will be inserted). Sew, leaving room at the bottom for turning and stuffing. (The hole should be the same width as the rabbit's neck).

Turn your head inside out and stuff it with padding polyester. But don’t sew up the hole yet, we’ll need it later.

Now we are working on the rabbit's body. Baste and then sew the bottom legs together as shown below. Then sew the back and back of the bottom of the Rabbit, leaving holes for sewing in the front legs.

Turn the torso out, but don't stuff it yet. Sew and turn out the front legs. Stuff them.

Place the front legs into the left unsewn side seams. Sew the legs into the body in a circle, as in the picture.

Stuff the body with padding polyester. Pack fairly tightly. The head and body are ready separately. But we need to connect them! To do this, align the hole in the head and the neck of the body. Sew them together using a blind stitch as below.

Prepare the nose, muzzle and marker. Glue the nose with Moment glue or other glue (a small amount so as not to spoil the face). Draw a face with a marker as shown below.

Sew the muzzle with a loop stitch to the Rabbit's head. Hold it so it doesn't move.

To make our bunny look cute and not flat, do a little trick called a “drawdown.” This is done as follows. (Points “1” and “5” coincide and are located behind the toy, in the neck area).

First, insert the thread and needle into this point.
Having grabbed a large amount of padding polyester, bring the needle to point “2” and hook a millimeter of fabric there.
Then bring the needle out at point “3”, also grabbing a large amount of padding polyester.
Make a millimeter hold and return to point “2”.
From the second, return to the very beginning, to point “5”.
Tighten the thread to the desired state, secure.

Now sew the floral linings under the eyes in the same way as the muzzle. Sew beady eyes in the center.

Place a “forward needle” stitch along the contour of the ponytail. Pull, stuff and pull until the end. Sew the tail in the marked place on the back.

Tie Rabbit a bow like a real gentleman. You can also decorate the rabbit as you wish and place it in an Easter basket.

My rabbit, as mentioned, turned out to be striped and with a bow:

Other master classes on creating rabbits

Pom pom rabbit

A very simple option that can be done with children. For each pompom you will need two identical “donuts” made of cardboard (you can use special devices for creating pompoms, as in the photo in the master class). Wrap these bagels with thread in several layers, and then cut them along the outer circle. Thread a thread between the cardboard circles and tighten.

You will need two of these pompoms. In addition, cut out the ears from felt, the tail can be felted from wool or padding polyester.

Using an unnecessary shirt

The original idea of Tilda's rabbit in this case is that a shirt is used, and its central part.

Eared felt bags

Such bags can be made from either paper or felt. And put colored eggs inside (real or decorative, depending on the size of the package and your desire).

Sock fantasies

Here you will need a pair of children's or bright women's socks, scissors and thread with a needle.

Kulich for Easter), and the Orthodox rabbit is considered the symbol and hero of the holiday in Western countries.

According to ancient legends, this wonderful animal collects and hides chocolate eggs of different colors in its shelter and as soon as children wake up on Sunday morning, they go to look for the animal’s hole where delicious sweets can lie. But they do not go to everyone, but only to those children who behaved and studied well during the year. In another legend, they were looking for a home and the one of the children who finds eggs in it will be happy and lucky all year.

In our country, there is such an interesting custom. You probably remember when you were still little, your parents would bring some delicious food, and you asked where they got it? Adults say that the bunny brought a gift and you run around the house and rejoice, not knowing how he was able to do it.

So in Russia, too, they know everything about the Easter Bunny, and for this holiday in kindergartens, and even in primary schools, they prepare handicrafts of this gentle animal with their own hands. So I would like to tell you how to make it from different materials and it will not only be an Easter souvenir, but also a good gift for children.

Making an animal out of paper will not be difficult at all. This will be especially fun for your children.

We will need:

Pencil;
Scissors;
Ruler;
Paper.

1. To begin, we need to cut out a square of colored paper equal in length and width.

2. Fold this sheet in half.

By the way, all the lines that you bend must be clear and even; our rabbit needs to be folded along them.

4. Unfold the paper, you should get separated lines from the fold. And we begin to bend one section, then another. The photo shows how to do this.

5. Take the middle with your fingers and bend it towards the first section. Now we connect the bottom side with the top.

6. We unfold it again and we should have exactly 8 sections.

7. Fold one side and the other diagonally. See what should happen in the end.

8. We count 3 sections and bend them.

9. Take the lower right corner with your fingers and bend it slightly in the middle.

In this way we bend it to the end so that the middle of the triangle just barely reaches the corner bend.

10. Turn the hare over to the other side and perform the same operation.

11. All the ears are done, let's move on to the back. We make a corner along the second line from the bottom, first in one direction, then in the other, to make it easier to work inside the hare.

12. Unbend the back part and bring the triangles inward.

13. We wrap the back along the lines that we have.

14. And now we bend the rabbit’s body in the middle, and in the head part we press it to the ears

15. We do the same with the second side.

17. And we begin to form the ears, and to do this we should have 2 folds on each side. How to make them, look at the picture.

18. Now from the nose to the ears, we also bend it a little.

19. We bend all the corners from the bottom of the rabbit inward, just not much, just a little, so that the animal can stand.

20. Then we open the bottom and our wonderful animal is ready.

21. The ears can be painted in a redder color, and the eyes can be painted on, but this is at your discretion.

22. You can easily put an Easter egg in it.

By the way, if you are doing it for the first time, then first practice on an unnecessary sheet of paper, otherwise you might not succeed the first time.

DIY Easter bunny made of fabric

I want to show how easy it is to make this wonderful souvenir, and in the easiest way. With this option, you can sew not only an Easter hare, but also any other toy that you like. Let this cute creature delight your children on this wonderful holiday.

We will need:

Textile;
Holofiber balls;
Thread;
Needle;
Beads;
Satin ribbon 2 pcs;
Paper cord;
Block;
Sisal 2 colors.

1. First, you need to draw the thief himself on cardboard and carefully cut it out.

2. Take the fabric and fold it in half with the right side facing inward.

3. Place the cut out part on a rag and outline it.

4. Where the hind leg is located in the drawing, we make 2 notches with a pen or pencil, so that this place cannot be stitched.

5. We begin stitching along the contour lines that we drew. The width of the screed is approximately 2.5 mm.

6. We begin to cut out the rabbit, retreating approximately 5 mm from the seam.

When you cut out the bunny, do not forget to make 3 notches with scissors, on all rounded areas (under the paws, on their tips, on the ears, near the tail, and so on). We make them not reaching the seam 1 mm. so that when turning the part inside out, the seam does not unravel.

8. To prevent it from being wrinkled, it is advisable to iron the bunny.

9. We also stuff the halofiber using a stick. We start pushing from the ears and the most important thing is that there are no empty spaces.

11. We make the eyes, and for them we will need beads and black thread. We sew them on through.

12. We begin to decorate the toy. We make a bow from a satin ribbon and secure it with thread.

13. Sew it to the rabbit’s neck, and do the same with the rest of the ribbons.

14. You can also glue a flower and beads on top.

15. Well, the bunny is ready, if you want you can make a stand for it.

16. Glue the sisal onto the block, and on top of the hare.
