How To Turn An Old Sock Into An Easter Bunny

We all have lots of 'odd socks' around the house...especially in the Spring when we'd like nothing more than to kick them off and slip into sandals! This Easter, put those odd socks to use and turn them into homemade, one-of-a-kind Easter bunnies! I have zero sewing experience and I made this adorable guy in about twenty minutes—my kids are both in love with their sock bunnies!

You might need to a make a quick trip to the dollar or craft store, but most of the items in this sock bunny are things you'll have around the house already:

Supplies: sock (any size—the size of your sock will determine the size of your bunny!), ribbon, darning needle (extra large hole), buttons, stuffing, pom pom and glue gun (glue gun optional but very handy!)

Stuff the sock with stuffing all the way up to the sock's end. You can adjust the softness of the bunny by how much stuffing you put in.

Tie a ribbon around the neck area (wherever you decide that will be), and sew the ears with the ribbon and darning needle. Much easier than regular needle and thread, and the ribbon looks nice showing - no need to be super neat or anything! Just start at the top and sew down and around to define the ears.

Then, sew buttons on for eyes, nose and decorations. You can also add googly eyes, ribbon whiskers, or other decorations.

Outline the arms by sewing with the ribbon along each side of the body. This gives the bunny it's shape.

Finally, cut between your ribbon sewing on the ears and trim around the tops of the ears to shape them. Add a pom pom tail on the back and you've got your very own homemade sock bunny!
