Active Time: 25 minutes
Total: 25 minutes

Equipment

  • Plastic/glass cup
  • Rubber bands
  • Scissors

Materials 

  • Plain socks
  • Uncooked rice
  • Black marker
  • Decorative ribbon
  • Googly eyes

Instructions 

  • Place your cup or jar in front of you and work your designated sock onto the rim for easy pouring.
    This cup acts solely as a catch-all and a safer way to pour rice into a sock. Add a shallow pan beneath the cup if needed for even more security.
  • Pour the rice into the sock. Be aware of the amount of rice to the sock size and your cup or jar.
  • Secure your current sock’s state by adding a rubber band to the ankle area. Make sure to leave a bit of tail for the bunny’s ears.
  • Shape a head in the sock near the top, just underneath the rubber band. Once formed, slip another rubber band onto the body and secure the head.
  • Do the same thing for the bunny’s tail. Grab a small rubber band after you’ve shaped a small area for the tail on the back side of your sock.
  • Fan out and prep the bunny’s ear area–or the top above the first rubber band. Remember that you’ll be cutting this area into a pair of ears.
  • Make one cut through the middle (not far enough to hit the rubber band) and then shape each side respectively. Make the ears in any fashion you’d like–just make them even!
  • Add the facial features or any discerning elements you’d like to add to your DIY Easter Sock Bunny.
    Some of my favorite add-ons are googly eyes, a mini basket with goodies, and a simple doll’s hat reworked for a bunny.
    A good tip–use a fabric marker for a smoother application! The last thing you want is a jumpy smile for your bunny or bunnies.
