Make these adorable no-sew Chubby Snow Bunnies for Christmas out of child size Dollar Tree Socks! These are unbelievably easy to put together AND very inexpensive! Please click on the following YouTube link to see my full tutorial, as I give many tips when making these bunnies:
TIP: If you are concerned about bugs when storing your snow bunnies, you can crush a bay leaf and put it inside the sock. This will repel any bugs.
You will find the pattern you need for the 2 inch tall oval bunny ears at this site:
**You can also make your own oval bunny ears, if you wish.**
Materials Needed:
*White Rice
*White Kids Athletic Socks in size 4-6.1/2
* Colorful Child Size Socks (Toddler) in sizes smaller than the white socks.
*Felt For Scarves In Coordinating Colors With Hat
*White Felt for feet
*Chenille Pipe Cleaners-red and white or whatever coordinates with your bunny.

*Snowflake Embellishment
*Tiny Bells for hat embellishment.
*Red Heart Shaped Flat Back Rhinestone
*Rhinestone bling strip, if making a girl bunny.
*Clear, Small Rubber Bands (Found in the hair care section at Dollar Tree, 99 Cent Store OR the Goody Brand from any grocery store. Those are little more heavy-duty.)
* Upholstery Thread (White) to tie the bells around the hat. (Found at Walmart)
*Black Puffy Paint AND Pink Puffy Paint if making a girl bunny.
