Making a cute bunny for spring and Easter is very simple, inexpensive, and fun. A great project that even the kids can help make and create!
This bunny was made with a dollar tree stocking cap. I made it a couple years ago. I will be doing my follow along instructions with my current stocking cap that I wear every day during the winter.
Materials Needed:
*Stocking cap hat
*2 rubberbands
*Rice, beans,
*cotton balls, polyfil for stuffing
*Pom Poms, buttons, or google eyes – something for eyes and nose
*Adhesive of your choice for the eyes and nose
*Scissors
*Ribbon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Put some rice in the stocking cap, and put a rubberband on top of it to close it off.
2. Put some more rice in it for a head, and put another rubber band on it to close it off again.
3. spread out the top, and cut a “v” to make the ears. (Again this is my real stocking hat so I will not be cutting it here… please reference the complete project to see this step after cut.)
4. Shape your ears on either side.
5. Add your eyes and nose. I attached mine with fabric glue, but you could use a hot glue gun or another glue of your choice.
6. Tie an optional ribbon around the neck.
My kids made these bunnies.
Happy spring everyone!

So very cute and ideal for Easter and maybe even achievable for me as a non-crafter. #WordlessWednesday
Thank you Kate and I love that you thought it was achievable for the non crafter 🙂
What a fun project.
Thank you Sheltie 🙂

Love your bunny – would never have thought to use a stocking cap. I’ve made many sock bunnies, but this cap bunny has a lot more texture. Very cute.
Thank you so very much Barbara, my kids just love how fuzzy they are. Can’t go wrong with dollar store crafts 🙂
This bunny is adorable, will be a great craft for my kids this week!
Thank you Pamela, and I’m thrilled you want to create it with your kids 🙂
Adorable and such a great craft for kids! I almost made some snowmen using this technique, but didn’t quite get around to it……now you are reminding me to save single socks, sigh, or maybe not, my craft hoarding does get the best of me this time of year when we do a major house clean up for Passover!
thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
Thank you Sara, and I have made snowmen too – so much fun. I totally understand craft hoarding – lol 🙂
How cute! 🙂
Thank you Cathy
These are adorable! They remind me of the sock gnomes. I will have to try these!
Thank you so much Cherryl – love that, thanks for sharing.
