Make Easter Bunny Ears for Your Doll





You might think it's too early to think about Easter but this year it happens to fall on March 27th which is exactly two months from today. This is another easy project that even someone with a broken arm (like me) can do. 

First, purchase a bunny headband designed to fit a child. I found mine at Target on sale last year for 25 cents each.  They actually fit adults but the only time this adult put them on was to be silly with my grandchildren.  Then, after a little destructive action, turn it into Easter bunny ears for you doll. Here we go...

  1. Open up the seams of your bunny headband and remove the bunny ears from the headband.  Throw away the headband, unless you think you'll use it for something else.  Rewrap the wires to form a doll sized headband.  You may need to use an additional wire for this step. 
  2. Wrap the fur around the new wire, pinning as you go.  Cut off the excess bunny fur from both ends.
  3. Wrap the fur ends up toward the bottom wires.
  4. Pin any additional places and with a needle and coordinating thread, sew the fur back together (I must mention, that with a broken arm this step took twice as long as it normally would have taken).


Here's a close-up photo of step number 4 - sewing the headband back together.


Pretty simple, right? And oh so cute!  Happy Easter preparation everyone! xoxo Grandma
