How to Make Washcloth Bunnies

Making washcloth bunnies is a quick way to create original spring or Easter decorations. These cloth mammals require very few parts, and an you can take them apart to reuse as washcloths once you're done playing with them.

Things You'll Need

• Washcloth
• Small rubber band
• Small red pompon
• Larger white pompon
• Ribbon
• Glue
• Wiggly eyes

Instructions

1. Fold the washcloth in half, forming a triangle. For best results, use a brand new cloth.

2. Roll the washcloth from the point to the wide end.

3. Bring the ends of the rolled washcloth together.

4. Tie the rubber band around the washcloth 4 inches from the fold.

5. Cover the rubber band with the ribbon. Tie a bow.

6. Glue on the wiggly eyes and the red pompon below the ribbon. At the fold, glue the white pompon for the tail.

7. Pull on the ears to help round them. Gently fluff up the back, so the fold is no longer visible.

Tips & Warnings

• A washcloth bunny makes a great Easter egg holder.

• Washcloth bunnies can also be used to cap soda bottles at children's parties or baby showers.

• These bunnies are also good ways to care for minor injuries. Put an ice cube in the center to form a soft icepack.

• To create spring decorations, push a rolled washcloth through the hole of a washcloth bunny before folding to create another bunny. In lieu of banners, hang these bunny chains on your walls.
