How to make an Easter bunny from fabric. The cutest DIY Easter bunnies made from different materials

In Russia, Easter is associated with colored eggs and Easter cakes (by the way, here you go). But in Western countries, a hero spring holiday is a rabbit. On the eve of the holiday, young children are told that the rabbit has a nest in which he hides chocolate eggs different colors. And children have the opportunity to find such a nest in Sunday morning. But sweets go only to those children who behave well and obey their parents.

Although in Russia this custom remains, when a gift is brought, children ask where it comes from? And the adults say: “ It was the rabbit who gave the gift!“And it has always remained a mystery - what kind of rabbit is so kind and generous, who constantly gives gifts? I don’t know if this happened to you, but in our family, adults always surprised us with the mysterious Easter Bunny.

And on this occasion, an idea arose! What if we reveal the secret for children and make several versions of the rabbit, so that both New Year, there was a certain symbol in the form of Santa Claus, only for Easter - in addition to easter eggs, do beautiful rabbits in the form of crafts. Moreover, you can also take a prize by making, for example, a basket with Easter eggs inside, and there is a nest where a rabbit sits, which the child made the day before. How do you like this idea?

So. Let's begin...

Some traditions of Western countries are taking root in our country. If you want to please children, you can make a souvenir rabbit from various materials. And right now, we are starting...

First, let's look at the simplest version of fabric crafts. To do this, you do not need to have special skills or specific experience. Even children can cope with the task.

You will need to prepare the following materials:

Faint fabric.
Synthetic fluff or cotton wool.
Finished pattern.
Satin ribbons.
Rhinestones.
Thread and needle.
Knitted flowers.
Glue.
Pencil.
Scissors.

In order to make the Easter bunny, we need a pattern. If you have artistic talents, you can draw the animal yourself. But you can find many printable options on the Internet. Choose the option you like best.

Now all that remains is to cut out the pattern from paper.

Now you need to lay the blank on the fabric, trace the outline with a pencil and cut it out.

Since we decided to make three Easter bunnies, we need to cut out two blanks from three types of fabric.

Now fold the pairs of blanks with the front sides facing inward. Then sew them by hand or by machine. Do not stitch a few centimeters from the bottom. The hole is necessary so that the workpieces can be turned out and filled with cotton wool.

Now you need to turn the rabbit out and stuff it with stuffing. Sew the workpiece from the bottom with a slip stitch.

Glue eyes onto the craft; for this you can use black rhinestones or beads.

All that remains is to secure the bow or other decorations.

The Easter bunnies are ready, you can decorate your interior with them.

Easter bunny for Easter 2019 made of paper

A festive bunny can also be made from paper. This is one of the simplest options. This craft can be used as a stand or gift wrapping.

For the craft you will need to prepare a stapler, scissors, glue, colored paper, cardboard, as well as the pattern below. Use a color printer to print.

At the initial stage we will need to make a stand-torso. For the boy and girl bunny, use different colors. For example, cut out a 3.5-16 cm rectangle from green cardboard. Then roll it into a tube and secure it with glue or a stapler, as shown in the image below.

From the printed pattern you need to cut out the legs of our rabbit and glue them to cardboard white, then cut it out and fix it to the body with glue.

At the next stage, in a similar way we will prepare circles for the girl and a tie for the boy. Now you need to cut out the animal’s face, stick it on cardboard, trim the edges and secure it to the body.

Now all that remains is to glue the nose, ear slits and mouth. Draw the eyes and mustache with a black marker.

Just a few minutes and the original souvenir is ready. You can give eggs to your guests on Christ's Sunday.

DIY felt rabbit

Large and expensive gifts are not given on Easter. It is customary to present Easter cakes, eggs and cute souvenirs. IN Lately, another symbol of Easter Sunday has appeared in our country - the rabbit. We have already considered several options for how to make it, now we will use felt.

For the craft you need to prepare:

Several pieces of felt in different colors.
Multi-colored threads.
Scissors.
Needle.
Glue.
Pencil.
Pattern

For this craft you need a pattern. To do this, draw an animal on a white sheet of paper and then cut out the silhouette.

For one craft you need to make 4 blanks. Each pair of parts should be different in color. Attach the pattern to a piece of felt, outline it with a pencil, and carefully cut out the rabbit along the contour.

You can cut out all four pieces completely, but if you are using thick material, it will be difficult to sew all the pieces together. Therefore, only the ears can be cut out for the inside.

Now connect all the pieces. Cut out the parts carefully so that the pieces do not stick out.

To prevent the parts from moving out, you need to fix them. To do this, apply a small amount of glue in the area of the ears and head.

Trim edges if necessary.

Now the blanks need to be sewn, use a regular seam. Start with the ears.

Use a decorative stitch at the bottom. Don't forget that there should be a pocket at the bottom, so don't sew all the pieces at the bottom. You should get the same result as in the photo below.

The hare base is ready. Now you need to make the tail. To do this, prepare thick threads and make a tail out of them, similar to a pompom. To do this, wind the threads around your hand so that you get a ring.

Then pull the middle with a thread and tie securely.

Now the threads need to be cut along the edges and fluffed.

Sew the tail to the body.

Eyes can be made from small buttons or from a small piece of black felt. Sew in the appropriate place.

The animal's nose can be sewn with black threads or a triangle can be sewn on from a piece of dark felt.

A cute and simple souvenir is ready. You can decorate your table with it or give it as a gift to your loved ones.

Schemes and pattern of a rabbit for Easter

As you already understood, the Easter Bunny can be made from various materials. But the basis of the craft is the pattern. If you don't know how to draw, you can use ready-made diagrams. They just need to be printed and used for their intended purpose. You can choose the most suitable option. And if you don’t have a printer, you can simply hold a blank white piece of paper to the monitor and simply draw the silhouette.

Children perceive the approach of any holiday with enthusiastic anticipation. On holidays they always give gifts, congratulate each other, decorate their houses, and prepare delicious food.

One of best ideas how to involve children in the task - entrust them with preparing crafts and decorations with their own hands. Older children who can already use needles and thread can take up fabric crafts. Children of kindergarten and younger school age they will make paper products with great pleasure (I know not from hearsay, but from practice - while I am writing, he and his grandmother are making a bunny according to our patterns!) :) By the way, I only recently published it.

Today we’ll work on the most popular craft for Easter - a bunny with pockets for eggs. We will make it from paper and fabric. Ready? Then read on and get started exciting process handicrafts!

Children really like the origami technique. Making an Easter bunny this way will not be difficult, especially when step by step diagram at hand and all manufacturing steps are described in detail. Below I give a detailed diagram that you can print out for yourself and put in front of your eyes for convenience.

Now let’s look at this craft in detail with pictures and descriptions. I do it with my son together and take a photo so that it’s easy for you to repeat the process :)

So, the bunny for the Easter egg is step by step wizard Class.

To get started, prepare the following:

two sheets of A4 colored paper;
a sheet of white paper;
scissors;
glue (pencil or PVA);
black felt-tip pen or marker.

To begin, make a square from the first sheet of A4 colored paper. To do this, we fold one of the corners of the rectangle evenly, resulting in an isosceles triangle, as shown in the photo below. We cut off the excess with scissors.

We make the second square from colored paper in the same way. As a result, we get two squares of the same size.

Then we take one of the squares and fold it diagonally along the existing fold, and we get the isosceles triangle that is already familiar to us

We will do the same with the second acute angle. You should end up with a small square, turned up at an angle, divided into two halves by small isosceles triangles.

Then we take one of the triangles by the upper acute corner and bend it down to the corner, dividing the triangle exactly in half.

We’ll do the same with the second corner and get a blank like the one in the photo below.

Now you need to turn the workpiece to the other side, so that the two bent corners on the bottom side are at the top.

Then slightly bend the upper corner of the square, as shown in the photo below.

Now the bunny's face is already beginning to emerge. On the triangle bent down, bend the bottom corner, you should get another small triangle.

Important! Smooth out each curve very carefully to make the bunny dense and symmetrical, so it will be stable on the table surface.

Then turn the workpiece like a helicopter and carefully bend the two side corners of the square towards the center, as shown in the photo.

The top part of the hare is ready.

Let's move on to the bottom part - the stand.

We take a second square of colored paper, bend it diagonally to the opposite corners from the existing fold,

Thus, you should have the center of the square at the intersection point.

After that, each corner of the large one needs to be folded towards the center, as a result you will get such a small square envelope.

Turn the resulting square upward at any angle and bend the upper corner to the center, as shown in the photo below.

We do exactly the same procedure with the lower corner of the square.

Then you need to bend the stand blank in half. Then you will need to twist it into a ring.

Glue the top part of the hare into the inside of the stand, as shown in the photo below.

Then bend the bottom of the stand:

Assemble the stand by inserting one of the corners into the pocket of the other and, if necessary, securing it with glue.

All that remains is to color the face and draw the paws and that’s it. Easter Bunny ready for eggs!

Can be placed in a stand and decorated Easter table made by yourself at home with children :)

Easter bunny- one of the symbols of the Holy Easter holiday. Back in the early twentieth century, bright colors were popular in Tsarist Russia. Easter cards with the image of a fluffy rabbit with a basket of multi-colored eggs. And the first mention of the hare as a symbol of Easter dates back to the end of the 17th century. It is believed that the Easter bunny comes from Germany, because it was there that the first written mentions of it were found. The bunny/rabbit was a constant companion of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre (Ostara), the patroness of Spring and fertility. The onset of spring, namely the day spring equinox, was her holiday, and the symbol of the holiday was a rabbit, symbolizing fertility. Rabbits are famous for their fertility, and it was with this quality that the devoted friend of the goddess symbolized the continuation and renewal of life.

There in Germany, in Munich, there is the only museum in the world Easter bunnies, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records. The museum has over 1000 different exhibits that arrived there from all over the world.

There are many beautiful legends about the appearance of the Easter Bunny. One of them says that during the Great Flood, when the ark was floating on the waves, it came across the top of a mountain, and a gap formed at the bottom. The Ark should have sunk if not for the bunny, who plugged the hole with its tail. And so, in memory of the brave hare, a beautiful tradition about a magical animal laying bright, painted eggs was born and took root.

Today, the Easter Bunny enjoys great love and is one of the main elements of Easter decor. Hares are baked for Easter - cookies or muffins, made from chocolate, mastic, etc. Souvenir hares made of ceramics, plastic, glass, fabric, wood, wax or children's crafts are comfortably "settled" on mantelpieces, window sills, festive tables and take part in Easter celebrations with us. In many Catholic countries, there is such a popular game as “Hunting the Easter Bunny”, which is successfully taking root here too - adults hide eggs throughout the house and garden, and children run around with delight, trying to find the decorated ones. bright eggs, as well as their chocolate imitations.

I bring to your attention two options for a master class of Easter bunnies that will decorate any interior and make the Easter holiday more colorful.

OPTION #1.

For work we will need:

* Multi-colored cotton fabric (one bunny requires a small piece measuring 10 x 18 cm);

* Reinforced or cotton threads - for stitching parts;

* Floss threads - for embroidering noses;

* Plastic eyes for toys or beads;

* Nylon ribbon (1 cm wide and 50 cm long) – for the skirt and bow;

* Bunny pattern.

Progress:

Fold the fabric in half, right side inward, and outline the outline of our pattern.

We cut, taking into account the allowances.

We baste the parts, stepping back a little from the edge (so that later we can easily turn the product right side out), and sew it on the machine.

Baste and sew the darts.

Cut off the excess fabric, leaving a small allowance on the darts. Turn it inside out.

We stuff our bunny with holofiber or cotton wool quite tightly until it is pleasantly elastic. It is more convenient to do this with long tweezers or a pencil.

Carefully sew up the hole using hidden stitches.

We outline the nose and mouth and embroider them with floss threads.

We turn the ear allowances inward and pre-pin them with pins and carefully sew them with hidden stitches.

For the skirt, I used a nylon ribbon 50 cm long (37 cm for the skirt itself and 13 cm for the bow). We sew the tape together to form a single ring, and assemble it for assembly, beautifully and evenly distributing the coattails. We put the skirt on the bunny and sew it on with hidden stitches.

We outline the eyes, glue them or paint them with acrylic paint.

We make a bow from the remaining ribbon and sew it on.

The bunny is ready!

This cute group of bunnies will help you decorate the interior of the group for the holiday.

OPTION #2.

These felt Easter bunnies are not difficult to make, since they do not consist of more details and actions.

For work we will need:

* Multi-colored hard felt;

* Holofiber filler (synthetic fluff or cotton wool);

* Self-disappearing marker for fabric and felt or pencil;

* Floss threads - for sewing parts together;

* Various accessories for decoration (rhinestones, flowers, ribbons, bows, etc.);

* Wooden skewers;

* Pattern of bunnies.

Progress:

Fold the felt in half, right side inward, and outline the outline of our pattern. It is more convenient to do this using a self-disappearing marker. The outline of the pattern is clearly marked and easily disappears with water, leaving no marks on the felt/fabric.

Cut it out.

We sew it together, leaving a small gap through which we lightly fill the bunny with holofiber or cotton wool to give it a light and pleasant volume.

We cut out flowers from contrasting felt and decorate them with rhinestones, buttons and ribbons.

Carefully sew on the decoration using hidden stitches or glue it with fabric glue.

You can make felt Easter eggs in the same way.

Using wooden skewers, Easter bunnies can become one of the decorative elements of the composition. Here are some example options:

Such compositions can be easily made using available materials.

For this we need:

Flower pots. (For Easter decor, I always use 150 ml mini pots, which in a festive interior, combined with green grass and flowers, look very impressive and colorful).

Grass seeds (a special mixture of cereals can be bought at any flower shop or seed store, for example the seeds shown in the photo).

To the bottom flower pots We put porous drainage.

Fill 2/3 of the pot with soil and plant the seeds.

Cover with soil and water. We are waiting for the shoots.

After a week the grass looks like this.

To further decorate the composition, we make decorative flowers from salt dough.

Let's decorate.

Fill the pot with decorative stones and place sisal on top.

Decorate with braid.

For decoration we use plastic dummies of Easter eggs and, of course, our creation - Easter bunnies on skewers. Additionally, the composition can be decorated with willow branches or flowers.
