Quick and Easy -DIY-Bunny Finger Puppets
These little bunny friends are made of scrap fabrics and embellishments you may have on hand.
Grab the supplies and the kids and have a little Creative Easter Fun...
Supplies:
Any scrap fabrics available...
I used felt, denim and cotton prints
Hot glue gun/ glue(for parental use only please!)
Embellishment mix such as buttons, sequins, pipe cleaners, sharpie markers
Technique:
Measure around your child’s finger leaving a large seam allowance on both sides and on top
Use the pattern to cut out two identical pieces of fabric, a front and a back piece
Cut out ears from fabric, or use pipe cleaners bent into ears
Using the glue gun, glue the bottom of the ears onto the inside top, of the back fabric piece
Run a line of glue over the front bottom of ears and down one side of the back piece of fabric
Line up the front piece of fabric and stick to the back piece where you just ran the glue
Repeat on the other side to finish bunny body
This is where the kids come in: Create Funny Bunny faces using buttons, embellishments and fabric scraps,
Let Mom or Dad do the gluing!Have a Hoppy Easter

Stuffed Fabric Easter Eggs
After making the Bunny Finger Puppets, I had left over fabric scraps and decided to play.
I came up with these cute little Stuffed Fabric Easter Eggs, and wanted to share them too!
Supplies:
Fabric
Needle and thread (optional)
Stuffing/fabric scraps
Embellishments/fabric scraps
Hot glue gun/ glue(for parental use only please!)
Technique:
Draw an egg pattern onto fabric and cut out 2 identical pieces
Design a pattern with fabric pieces and/or embellishments and glue(or sew)them onto the front piece of the fabric
Sew around the edges and top leaving the bottom open for stuffing.
Stuff, and then sew the bottom closed
Instead of sewing, you can glue your egg together the same way you did the Bunny Puppets,
but I like the stitching effect around the edges.
This is a Great opportunity to Create with your family!
Stay Safe, Stay Home and Have a Happy Easter🐇
