Great idea for a Christmas or birthday present
I was given a flannel bunny as a present a few years ago and thought it was a great idea! This bunny has a bar of soap inside it but for Easter, I made a few of these for my family and put a chocolate egg with each one instead.

Step 1
Gather your materials together. I always find it easier if I make sure I have everything to hand before I start on a project.
Step 2
Fold two opposite corners of the flannel so the tips touch the middle (see picture)
Step 3
Fold in half, diagonally across.
Step 4
Place the soap in the middle of the flannel.
Step 5
Bring the ends together, over the soap, and fasten with one of the elastic bands.
Step 6
Fasten the other elastic band approximately 1 inch above the other. This gives plenty of space for the head with long enough ears!
Step 7
Tie a nice neat bow around the 1st elastic band. Trim the ends so that it is even.
Step 8
Sew the first eye on with a contrasting thread (I chose white). Avoid red unless making demon rabbits! ;) Make the eyes by sewing a few small lines over each other - see picture!
Step 9
Sew the 2nd eye in the same way.
Step 10
Finally sew the nose on, similar to the eyes but more of a triangular shape.
Step 11
And there you have 1 completed flannel bunny!

Happy crafting!
