  • 1 Wire coat hanger
    2 Bath towels
    2 inch Wobble Eyes
    1 length of Ribbon
    1/2 mt Elastic
    1mt Length of Lace

This Bunny is the perfect gift for new mums or for taking to a baby shower. You could also do this project with several cloth nappies in place of the towels. This Bunny would make a lovely Easter basket too. We also have instructions for Towel and Diaper Cake as well as a cute Bunny gift basket.

Put the two towels together length ways to form a square. Roll them diagonally into the centre.

Fold the rolled length in half. Half way down this folded length place the elastic around it to secure it in place.

This rounded section forms the body. The two loose ends that are remaining form the ears. Fold the ear section back onto the body forming the head.

Secure with elastic. You can leave the ears floppy or make them pointy. Take the wire coat hanger and form it into a v shape. Push the wire into the back of the ears and bend the hanger hook underneath the bunny. Pin the ear fabric around the wire to hold them up, its a little like a hem around the wire. 1345_extra_imgp19571345_extra_imgp1956


Finish the bunny off by tying the ribbon around the head. Add the wobble eyes, either with glue or some double sided tape (so it can be removed later). We finished it off by just adding a teddy bear, but you could add baby supplies or just about anything. You could place the bunny onto a cake base, or cardboard base for stability when transporting it.

There is a way to make this without a wire.. wire coat hangers are not safe for children

I love this! When we were kids, we used to have these. We called them BoBo Bunnies! If you make them with a wash cloth, you can freeze them for teething babies. We also used to put an ice cube in the hole when we would fall down! Great to see them back!

I love this pattern using a washcloth to make mini bunnies. They make excellent party favors!

This turned out so pretty. I put the eyes on the front and it looked better. And I used nappy pins to pin the ears around the hanger.
And I got 4 orders to make more. :)
