These can be a simple or as complicated as you like so i will start with the simplest first: 1: turn one sock inside out with the heel at the top and lay flat 2: Draw a line from the top of the sock to just above the heel, then cut down this line (this will create the ears ) 3: Stitch up the two ears then turn the sock right way round. 4:Take a small circle of felt and put a little of the stuffing in the centre, stitch around the circle in running stitch and then pull tight to create the tail, attach this to one side of the main sock body. 5: Now stuff the sock body, pull the ends together and stitch tightly, finish with over stitch as this looks tidier. 6) Cut out your face from your coloured felt and glue in place, stitch on whiskers if required and your bunny is complete xx PROJECT 2 Leaping bunny The bunny shape described above creates the head of the leaping bunny, follow the same instructions but dont add the tail.
