Start by taking your sock and turning it onto its side. You will need to cut down the middle to create the ears. Do not cut too far or you will have too small a head.

Once it has been cut, you need to stitch the ears closed with sewing stitches. , simply stitch up each side using a running stitch or any other stitch you are comfortable with. If you have craft glue you could use glue on the edges, keeping the middle open so you can stuff it or your ears will be too floppy.  You will need to stuff the ears with filling, I like to make sure my ears are nice and firm, use a pencil or chopstick to help push small tufts of filling into the ears.  Little pieces work best for pushing into small spaces, just keep adding more until it is the firmness you would like.

Next using the embroidery floss stitch the face into position. The face should sit right in the middle of the heel. Create the face by stitching 3-4 long stitches in one spot to form the round part of the nose, then stitch down to form the cheeks. Use the image below as a guide. Change your embroidery thread to black to create the eyes.

Continue to fill the bunny until it is nice and firm and close up the bottom with more stitches. Use a rubber band or a ribbon in the center to create the neck, do this by tying it tight to form the neck indentation.

Finish it off with ribbons.

This Easter bunny is perfect for popping into gift baskets or for a small child. (stitched only features to avoid choking hazzards)
