Easter Bunny Inspiration

Easter is just a few days away but you still have time to make some thoughtful gifts. My mother-in-law is making the little granddaughters Easter dresses and I made them each a bunny to match the dress. They turned out well and I know the girlies will love them. The idea comes from Ginger Cake. This is the same blog that I got the idea for my owl purses from. She's a genius. You can buy a PDF pattern for the bunnies (or owls). The pattern is emailed to you after you purchase it, so you can buy it now and still have a few days to get it done; no waiting for a pattern to come in the mail. I didn't buy the pattern; I just used her pictures and idea for inspiration.

Here are how a few of my bunnies turned out:

The girls' dresses are the plaid material with the green as an accent. I can't wait to have pictures of all of the girls wearing their dresses and holding their bunnies.

I made 6 bunnies in all. I didn't want my little boys to miss out, so I made them one, too. I am planning on making a necktie and a bow-tie for their bunnies instead of the bow.

I used this tutorial to make the yarn pom-poms for their tails. I bought the cutest, softest yarn ever. It feels like minky. I was disappointed with it though; when cut it sheds terribly and unravels. Oh well, lesson learned.
