no-sew stuffed sock bunnies
    Don't show this post to my grandchildren!  I am sending them these bunnies in their Easter packages this year!  Because I had most of the needed supplies already, except the number of socks that I needed, these were a very economical gift to make.  Plus, they whip up really quickly!
     These bunnies have been all over Pinterest, except with one difference.  All of the ones I have seen have been filled with rice.  I decided rice in a no sew bunny, at least for my grandchildren,  is probably a bad idea because of 2 reasons:
  1. Children always take ribbons off of their stuffed animals eventually.  Ribbon off, string gets broken equals rice spilling everywhere.  Am I wrong?  
  2. Weevils.  Rice will attract them and I don't want my grandchildren playing with rice bunnies that begin to crawl with weevils.  I know that there are reheatable rice bags and so forth, but the thought came to my mind and I can't shake it.  
​
   Because of those two reasons, I decided to make these with fluffy polyester stuffing.  Yes, I know, they won't really stand up by themselves, but I am willing to live with that. 
     These bunnies would be perfect for using up socks that have lost their mates.  But, I needed to make 10 of them, so I purchased a package of 10 pairs of socks from Walmart.  With 10 pairs, you could make 20 bunnies! You can use any size sock that you want, depending on how big you want your bunny to be.  It is important not to use no show socks, but use something with a cuff that will work as the rabbit's ears. 
​
     Here are the supplies you will need:
  • Socks (one per bunny) preferably crew socks or longer.  (Long bunny ears could be cute.)
  • Polyester Stuffing
  • Baker's Twine or other string
  • Glue, regular school glue or a hot glue gun.
  • ribbon,  1/8th to 1/4 " works well
  • pom pom for tail
  • Sharpie Marker
  • Pins to hold things while glue is drying
  • scissors
  • White paint if you use black socks.
I tried using a chalk marker on the black socks, but the eyes and mouths seemed a little faded, so I used white acrylic paint.

You can see a black little bunny right there with his friends.
I created a little video to show you how easy it is to make these little rabbits!
       Each bunny tends to have a different personality, depending on how much you stuff it, how the ears fall and the color of the sock and ribbon.  I just did the basic eyes and mouth suggested by others, but you can give them eyelashes or a smile, whatever you would like.  
      I also had socks that were white with colored heels and toes.  They also come out cute, so you don't have to limit yourself to solid colored socks.

OOPs! His ears were still pinned when I took this picture! The toe made a pink base and the heel creates a spot on the back of his head, or wherever you decide to have it land on your rabbit.

     I will couple these bunnies with some candy and I'm sure my grandkids will love these little treats this Easter.  (Including the teenagers, as long as there is candy!)   Maybe I will make some of these chocolates this year!   (Wow! That is an old post!)

Other gifts I've made my grandchildren (to name a few):
​*  Scrappy Snakes
* Cute Owl Purse
* Jeans Pocket Purse
* Reversible Apron
