Simple Felt Bunny Pattern

We definitely have a thing for bunnies here on the blog! From this bunny-full paper Easter garland to this mulberry vine bunny wreath and these super cute crochet bunny finger puppets; there’s no shortage of hopping going on. We love adding these sweet touches of Easter to our homes at this time of year.

We made a similar craft at Christmas time with these 3D felt trees as well as these zero-waste eco-friendly tree decor we sell in our SMCH_Stitched Etsy shop; which inspired us to make some cute Easter decorations.

How to Make Felt Bunny Easter Decor:

Preparing the Materials

Drill a hole in the center of the birch slices the same size as the wooden dowel.

Cutting Felt Out by Hand

Print off the felt bunny pattern template on 8.5×11 sheet of paper and cut around each of the pattern pieces.

Setting the bunny templates on felt fabric with scissors.

Cutting out one bunny shape at a time, place the pattern on top of the felt sheet in your desired color. Using a pair of fabric scissors, cut out the bunny shape along the solid line. Cut 2 pieces for each bunny.

Using Cricut to Cut the Felt

Alternatively, you can use a cutting machine, like our Cricut Maker and SVG file to cut bunny shapes out of felt. Open a blank canvas in Cricut Design Space and upload the Bunny SVG File into Design Space.  

Select “Make It” in Design Space and set the material type to Felt.

Follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut cutting machine and cutting the felt. When prompted, unload the mat from the cutting machine and continue cutting 2 pieces for each bunny.

Assembling the Felt Bunnies

Preheat a hot glue gun. Place identical cut bunny shapes side by side. Working quickly and in small sections at a time, apply hot glue to the bunny ears on one of the cutouts.
