Making Sock Bunnies!

So now I'm on spring break!! we have had alot of snow!! its awesome! my sisters and I had a snow ball fight already...and of course I won! hahahaahh (knee slapper!)
Its really cold outside! so today I decided to use my minion skills to make something! my mom helped me search on google. She worries about me finding inappropriate things online. One time at school we were doing a history project and I was researching online in the library and then all of a sudden one of my friends shouted my name and motioned for me to come over. They told me to look at the computer screen...and I almost passed out!!!! it was a photo of a naked guy jumping over a hedge!!!!!! like what the hasselhof quadricorn was he doing?!?! then a group of kids surrounded the computer laughing. Until a teacher came and saw it...then switched off the computer! I thought schools were supposed to block that kind of inappropriate stuff. So, Anyways my mom always helps me to do searches because of that.
we found something called Sock Bunnies, it looked pretty cute and we had all the stuff you needed to make it. You can do a google search for it or not. Here is my version of it:


 You need socks (just 1) the more colorful the better, but any will do. has to be long socks not short..you will need them to be long for the ears you'll see what I mean later. A piece of string/yarn to tie around neck. Black felt for eyes. White for teeth  (and for eyes if you want). Pink felt for nose. Any colorful ribbon to tie around neck, tacky glue or anything that will stick the felt to the sock. And finally some fluff/stuffing. 
 
Sorry I didn't take any pics of the next steps.So I'll explain what I did. First you stuff the sock with fluff. you stop just before the heel section. tie it  off with yarn/string. Then you stuff it some more to make the head.



Next you grab the long section and hold it up. With some scissors..(ask your parents for help if its too hard) cut a thin 'V' shape all the way down to where the stuffing is. If its too hard just cut a straight line down the middle (that's what my little sister did and it came out alright).

Next grab both pieces and make a knot.


like this!

pull it tight...and it makes ears! :)


It should look like this! what do you think? look like a bunny yet?

This is what I used to stick the felt down.
Yippeeeeee...it stuck on! you can add white felt pieces to the eye to make it look cuter! but that's totally up to you!

Get a ribbon and tie it around and make a bow. And hey presto its ready!!! I love it! :)

The blue one is Kimi's, the pink one is Sachi's and mine is the yellow one. I think they are cute and super easy to do! have fun making them. You can add a pompom tail to them, but we didn't have any so thats why I didnt add it.
Peace out people...have a ninjaful day! ;)
