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. The treats are placed in a basket with a beautiful towel and taken to the Temple of God for consecration. To make it interesting for your children to also 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 Easter treat baskets.

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 volumetric 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 center 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. It could be 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 yarn gray. 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.

Upper part rabbit

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 begin to knit 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

Hare assembly
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 method of making children's crafts.

What you need to prepare to create a bunny:

  • Cardboard and scissors for cutting out animal figures;
  • Roll of white corrugated 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 paws - 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. Slice white paper 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.

According to these knitted air loops 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. Iron it with an iron wrong side, special attention paying 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 crafts from it small size. 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 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!

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.

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

The Easter Bunny is a tradition with long roots. In Germany, already in the 16th century, the Easter bunny was a symbol of fertility and wealth. In North America, as well as some European countries, there is a custom to hide easter eggs. The awakened children rush to search the entire house and as a result discover the Easter bunny in a “nest” with many colorful eggs. Sweets and toys are made in the shape of rabbits, as well as souvenirs that look like entire families of rabbits.

Like Valentine's Day (February 14), this tradition has become widespread in our country. Children really enjoy playing and making up stories about these cute toys. Therefore, rabbits must be present at Easter. Bright funny figures of Easter bunnies in baskets with colorful eggs will be a great table decoration, a great gift as a keepsake for your guests, as well as talismans that bring good luck and wealth. And sewing such an Easter bunny with your own hands is very simple. We offer you several options.

So, to sew the Easter bunny, we will need small pieces of chintz bright color or any other cotton fabric.

Make an Easter bunny pattern out of paper, attach it to the fabric (you can pin it with pins) and cut out two parts. Don't forget seam allowances.

On the front side we embroider a muzzle. To prevent the embroidery from stretching the fabric, a small piece of calico is placed on the inside, but it does not need to be placed.

We immediately sew on the decoration - on our sample it is a heart.

Sew the rabbit together, leaving a small hole for stuffing. If desired, you can insert a tag on the side.

We turn the toy inside out, stuff it with padding polyester or other toy filling and sew up the hole with a hidden seam.

To make the second rabbit, we also prepare a pattern and cut it out with seam allowances.

On a sewn oval made of plain fabric (you can use thin fleece) we embroider a muzzle.

We cut out the paws from a fabric of a different color and sew them together.

Turn it inside out and stuff it with padding polyester.

We fold the two parts of the future toy with the front sides inward. Mark the places where the paws will be

We insert the paws inside:

And sew them together, leaving a small hole for turning them inside out.

Turn the sewn rabbit right side out. We stuff it with padding polyester and sew the hole with a hidden seam. The rabbit is ready!

Easter bunny tilde

Another variety of Easter bunnies are tilde bunnies. You can draw the tilde Easter bunny pattern yourself, or you can use this option:

To make such an Easter bunny, it is better to use cotton or linen fabrics.

The face of such a rabbit is embroidered with thread or drawn acrylic paints. Clothes for tilde rabbits can be sewn or knitted.

Napkins in the shape of an Easter bunny

An interesting decoration for the holiday table will be linen napkins folded in the shape of a rabbit.

Step 1. Take a square starched linen napkin and fold it lengthwise into three layers.

Step 2. Mentally divide the napkin vertically in half. The upper right corner needs to be folded down so that a triangle is formed from the right half of the napkin.

Step 3. We bend the left corner in the same way.

Step 4. Now we bend the lower right corner up diagonally towards the center.

Step 5. We do the same with the left corner.

Step 6. We have a rhombus. Again we take the right corner and wrap it towards the center again.

Step 7. We wrap the left corner in the same way.

Step 8. Turn the almost finished “Easter bunny” 90 degrees and bend its “tail”.

Step 9. Expand the “ears”.

On the bright holiday of Easter, you can’t do without the Easter bunny. It is a traditional holiday attribute in Europe and America. On the eve of Easter, mass sales of chocolate bunnies and postcards with their images begin. Millions of kids are waiting for this cute animal hiding colored holiday eggs.
Since children like this tradition, rabbits also appeared in the form soft toys. They are often used to decorate the house or give as gifts to relatives or friends.
This master class will help everyone who wants to sew their own Easter bunny. This simple craft can be done with your child.

Materials and tools:
cotton fabric;
threads (white, pink);
needle;
braid;
padding polyester;
beads (black, 3 pieces);
scissors.

1. To start making the Easter Bunny, you need a template. Therefore, first we draw the shape of a rabbit on paper and carefully cut it out. This will be the template for the future.

2. Now we transfer the pattern to the fabric. Fold the fabric in half, apply the rabbit template, trace along the contour and cut exactly along the line. You should get two identical parts. To make a rabbit, it is best to take linen or cotton fabric, plain or with a small pattern.


3. For decoration we will need a bright, narrow braid. We cut off a piece of braid, apply it to the rabbit’s body and sew it on so that no stitches are visible on the front side. We cut off the braid protruding beyond the edge of the figure. For sewing we use white threads.

4. We bring the figure to life. We make a face for the rabbit using beads. Sew on the eyes using black beads. We do not cut the thread; it will be useful for sewing on the next part.

5. Having sewn on the eyes, attach the nose with the same thread as the eyes. Having secured the nose, we make a mustache. To do this, we thread the thread through the bead several times (about 4-5 times) to create several loops.

7. Having completed the design of the face, we proceed to sewing together the parts of the rabbit. We sew the parts manually using an over-the-edge seam. pink threads. We start sewing from the bottom, from the paws. Make sure the stitches are the same.

8. We do not sew the rabbit completely, leaving the bottom unsewn. Through this hole we fill the figure with padding polyester. Distribute it evenly so that all parts of the rabbit are filled. The figure should be a little flat, so we fill it with padding polyester not very tightly. If there is no padding polyester, you can replace it with another filler, for example, cotton wool, padding polyester, holofiber or others.

9. Having filled the rabbit with padding polyester, we sew up the place of filling with a seam “over the edge”. Well, that's it. The Easter Bunny craft is ready!

10. The rabbit will become original decoration festive table. Also, a bright figurine will decorate a basket of eggs, which you can give to friends.

The tradition of giving painted eggs for Easter is present in many European countries. Christianity and paganism are closely intertwined in this tradition, so much so that it is difficult to detect that dividing line.

For example, in our country, on Easter, painted eggs are painted by the participants themselves. happy holiday(to all honest families), decorating them with patterns-amulets, as our ancestors did before Christianity.

But in Europe, in particular in Germany and Austria, the eggs are literally “laid” by... who do you think? EASTER RABBIT, or as he is also called - Bunny! Cool?

If we consider this Easter phenomenon symbolically, then it reveals to us hidden meaning(paganism again), encrypted in symbols: Eggs - the origin of life and everything new and the Rabbit - fertility! As you can see, this is also a wish for well-being, knowledge, and self-improvement! So let us take for granted this message-blessing from our ancestors, even if not exactly our relatives, but “second cousins”...

Well, progress moves forward, introducing and mixing the most bizarre customs and cultures, shuffling it like a deck of cards... and we just have to keep up with the times and quickly react and adapt to changes!

Well, Rabbit, so Rabbit! Let him lay fancy eggs for the joy of all the kids who have spent a whole year trying to behave diligently and be obedient!

So, for kids waiting for a MIRACLE in the form of the Easter Bunny, we present several suitable options, from a variety of materials and with varying complexity of work.
The Japanese origami technique comes to our aid, which means our rabbit will be completed.

Option #1

Let's not waste extra time on description. In the origami technique, it is better to see once than to read many times:

Option No. 2

You can make such cute bunnies by carefully following our photo or video instructions:



Style – Tilde, making an Easter bunny. Master class

As you noticed, Easter bunnies can be both rabbits and female rabbits - in Tilda there is a special emphasis on this! If you are a fan of this style, roll up your sleeves and let's get started!

For work, prepare:

  • Paper pattern (attached);
  • Any available filler (holofiber, synthetic...);
  • The fabric from which the rabbit itself will be made is preferably natural;
  • Bright pieces of fabric for a dress or bunny costume;
  • Needle and thread;
  • Sharp scissors;
  • Floss threads or small beads for eyes;
  • Ribbons, buttons, beads - for decoration.

First, let's look at the pattern, then download it and print it, transfer it to the fabric and, leaving 0.5-1 cm for seam allowances, carefully cut it out of the fabric.


After this, we begin sewing paired parts, strictly following the pattern. We leave unsewn the places where there is a dotted line on the pattern; these places are designed so that you can easily and quickly turn the workpiece right side out, fill it with filler, and after that sew it up with a hidden seam, bending the sections inside the workpiece.
We don’t stuff our ears with anything!

When sewing the rabbit’s legs, do not forget to insert them into the lower part of the body that has not yet been sewn up, and then you can sew everything together.

Don’t stuff your legs and arms too much; they should lie quietly in the desired position, and not stick out in different directions!

The paws and ears are sewn on very neatly and carefully; a special hidden stitch is used for this. Before sewing on the ears, iron them thoroughly and give them the desired shape!

We embroider the rabbit's eyes with floss threads; if you want, sew on small shiny black beads.

Well, you have completed this task, all that remains is to come up with a suitable outfit for the Rabbit from all sorts of bright pieces of fabric, beads, ribbons...
Finally, sew a handbag for this bunny and load it with painted Easter eggs - the kids will be delighted!
