My daughter and I made this little plush bunny one day when she was bored and we were trying to think of something to do. The best part - we didn't have to buy anything to make it!
You will need:
- a pair of gloves that you don't mind cutting up
- fabric for making the clothes (optional)
- buttons for eyes and nose
- stuffing
- needle and thread
- scissors
(I didn't take pictures while we were making this, so I have made a paper glove below to help explain the steps.)
1) For the bunny's head, cut off the glove's thumb, middle finger and pinkie as shown below. Be sure to leave a little bit of material so you can turn it in and sew.
2) Next, turn that glove inside out and sew up the holes.
3) Use buttons, beads or any other embellishments to make a face for your bunny. You could probably use a fabric pen too.
4) Turn the other glove into a body by cutting off the middle and ring fingers and the thumb.
5) Use the middle and ring fingers to make arms. Make a cut where the arms should go, turn the glove inside out, pin the arms in place and sew them on. (be sure not to sew them closed, they still need to be stuffed!)
6) Sew up the other openings in the glove and turn it right side out.
7) Stuff the head and body with stuffing and sew them together.
You now have a cute little bunny toy!
