Bunny jumper You’ll need: Rabbit template (see link, overleaf), stickybacked plastic, scalpel, cutting board, jumper, fabric paint, paintbrush, iron, white pompom, cottton, needle
1 Using the template, draw a rabbit onto the back of sticky-backed plastic and carefully cut out the shape with a scalpel on a cutting board. Discard the middle, keeping the outline. 2 Remove the sticker backing and position the rabbit outline on the jumper. Press it firmly in place. 3 Brush on the fabric paint so it completely covers the rabbit shape. Remove the sticker carefully. Leave to dry. 4 Most fabric paints need to be ‘set’ with an iron so they stay after washing. Follow packet instructions for best results. 5 Sew a pompom onto the rabbit for a tail.
Fuzzy bunny ears You’ll need: White and pink pipe cleaners, headband
1 Start by wrapping a white pipe cleaner tightly around one end of the headband. Keep wrapping more pipe cleaners around the band until you reach the end. Snip off any excess pipe cleaner. 2 Once the headband is covered, take two white pipe cleaners and bend them into long ear shapes. Position them 1cm apart in the centre of the band, fold the ends over and wrap them around to secure, making sure that the ears stick up and are the same height. 3 Bend two pink pipe cleaners into thinner ear shapes and attach them in the same way, wrapping more pipe cleaner around the band so they sit inside the white ears.
ALL EARS Ensure no loose ends are sticking out so the headband is really soft and comfy.
