What do you need when working?

In order to make a cute bunny out of your sock, you need the following:

• Solid children's sock (no patterns).
• A piece of thick, stiff, contrasting fabric (such as felt).
• Eraser or hard thread.
• Little pompon.
• Eye beads.
• Glue on the fabric.
• Scissors.
• Stuffed material.
• Elegant thin ribbons.

Important! As a material for stuffing, you can use cotton wool or cereal - buckwheat or rice. You should not take a synthetic winterizer, since the toy with it will turn out to be too light and will not be able to stand stably.

Operating procedure

To make a bunny out of a sock, proceed as follows:

1. Put a sock in front of you and fill it with the prepared stuffing. For these purposes, you will need approximately one glass of cereal or a pair of large lumps of cotton wool.
2. Measure the distance from the finger part of the sock to the place where the neck will be located. Tie this place tightly with thread or elastic.
3. Measure the distance a little less - for the head of a bunny. Tie the top more tightly than the neck so that the stuffing does not spill out.
4. Cut the remaining free edge of the toe in half lengthwise from the dressing line to the end. Cut two ears and give them a standing or lying shape. Suture the ears along the edge so that the material does not dissolve.
5. It was the turn to decorate the toy: cut a small oval or semi-oval piece from a dense patch of fabric to mark the tummy, glue it to the place of the proposed bunny rabbit.
6. From the beads, make eyes by gluing or sewing them in the right place.
7. Also, with the help of elements cut out of dense material, form and glue the teeth and nose.
8. Sew a small pompon around the bottom of the back - this will be the tail.

Important! With the help of an elegant silk ribbon, the bunny can be made even more beautiful. If you tie a bow around your neck - you get a boy, and if you add a bow on your head between your ears - a cute bunny.

Hare family

In addition to the above method, there are still options for making bunnies from a sock with your own hands.

Perky kid

Also from one sock you can make another bunny, which will have handles with legs:

1. Lay the toe in front of you so that the heel is in front of you, bent down.
2. The open cuff (the upper part of the toe) will go to the tail and front legs, and the part from the cuff, the heel and the part that it covers are the head and ears (the heel will be the fore part), the trunk is lower, and the lower legs are the piece for the fingers .
3. Sew all the details along the edge, fill with filler, sew together and decorate to your liking.

Affectionate shy

To create this option, you will need two socks. Such a bunny is more suitable for the game than as a gift or souvenir:

1. Put two socks in the same way as in the previous version, but with the finger part up.
2. The whole part of the foot of the first sock is the ears, the heel is the tail, the part of the lift is the upper paws.
3. On the second toe, make only one cut from the hole to the heel - these are the lower paws. The heel marks the beginning of the torso on which the animal will sit comfortably.
4. Tightly fill all the parts with filler, seam and sew to each other.
