DIY BUNNY BANNER Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cut Your Fabric
- Cut (1) 8 ½” x 11″ piece from your front fabric, backing fabric, and batting for each bunny.
- This will render (3) 8 ½” x 11″ pieces total per bunny.
Step 2: Trace & Cut Out the Bunny Shape
- Place the bunny template on your front fabric and trace the shape.
- Cut out the bunny shape carefully.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
- Sandwich the layers in this order:
- Backing fabric (wrong side down)
- Batting in the middle
- Front fabric (bunny cut-out on top)
Pin everything in place.
Step 4: Sew the Bunny
- Sew around the bunny using a ¼” seam allowance, leaving an opening at the bottom.
- Backstitch at the beginning and end to secure your stitches.
Step 5: Trim & Stuff
- Trim the excess fabric and batting to match the bunny shape.
- Stuff your bunny with Poly-fil, cotton, or any stuffing of your choice to make it a little extra soft and fluffy.
Step 6: Sew It Closed
- Return to your sewing machine and sew the opening closed to secure the stuffing inside.
Step 7: Add a Fluffy Tail
- Apply Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue to a cotton ball and press it onto the bunny for a cute, fluffy tail.
Step 8: String the Bunnies onto Twine
- OPTION ONE: Thread a needle and thread through the top of each bunny’s ears and stitch them onto the twine. Stitch in two places to keep each bunny from wobbling.
- OPTION TWO: Use your fabric glue and glue the bunnies to your twine.
Step 9: Hang & Enjoy!
- Find the perfect spot to hang your new bunny banner—across a mantle, a doorway, or above a table.
