Instructions for Sock Rabbits
Step 1:
Place the sock inside the tape, then fold the edges over to securely wrap around the tape.
Step 2:
Fill the sock with rice until it has enough to shape the head and body of the bunny. Do not fill it all the way through. Leave some space for the ears.
Step 3:
Once filled, secure it with a piece of jute twine.
Step 4:
Take another piece of jute twine and use it to form the head and body of the bunny.
Step 5:
Cut the top part in half just like in the photo below.
Step 6:
Shape them into bunny ears. If you want longer ears, use a longer sock or make the body and head smaller.
Step 7:
Make the bunny’s tail by pinching a small portion at the back and securing it with an elastic.
Step 8:
Grab the ribbon and make a bow.
Step 9:
Take a piece of paper and cut out two small circles for the eyes and two small strips for the mouth.
Step 10:
Glue the eyes and mouth to the bunny’s head and you are done!
Handy Tip
When filling the sock with rice, add a few drops of essential oil. This will give it a lovely smell.
