I know we just did a garland but you’ll have to indulge me with this one because when I saw these gorgeous floral felt prints I knew they needed to be spring bunnies.
For this project I used English Garden and High Tea from the newest arrivals to our collection of nearly 200 felt prints. These floral prints are the highest quality felt and are totally washable. I paired these rabbit pals with some lovely cabbages for a springtime farmhouse feel.
For Bunnies
1 – 9″ x 12″ floral felt sheet in High Tea
1- 9″ x 12″ floral felt sheet in English Garden
For Cabbage
2 – 9″ x 12″ pale green felt, I used Irish Cream *
Hot Glue Gun
Stuffing
Doll Needle – for threading
2 yards string or cord – (adjust length as needed)
* w/ matching thread
Cut
Using templates below cut 3 bunny shapes from one floral print, Flip template over before cutting 3 more rabbits from the second floral felt. This will keep your bunnies facing in different directions. Set aside.
From Irish Cream cut
4 – Cabbage Bases
16- Large Cabbage Leaves
12- Small Cabbage Leaves
Create the cabbage center by stitching a gathering stitch around the outside of your pre-cut circle, fill with a small amount of stuffing and pull closed. Stitch through the center a few times to hold and knot. Repeat with remaining three cabbage bases.
Gently pull along the rounded areas of all the leaves until the felt becomes a little distorted. This works best with wool blend felt, pulling on the fibers stretches them and thins them in areas creating a more natural look.
Using a hot glue gun glue three small leaves around the base one at a time. The teardrop bottom should wrap around the bottom. Curl or fold leaves and glue down as desired. Try not to use too much glue because you will need to run a doll needle through this later.
Add four of the large leaves around the base and glue down.
Repeat with all 4 cabbages. If you prefer a bigger or fuller cabbage add more leaves.
Thread needle and bring string through the top of the rabbits and then thread through the top of a cabbage. Threading through the top insures the cabbage hang the right direction. Make sure they are facing the correct way when you thread them through.
Add a bunny of the second print, then a cabbage and so on.
