DIY Easter bunny bag with template
This is another interesting project. You can make beautifully decorated Easter bags out of cotton. Follow the step-by-step instructions!
Accessories for Easter crafts:
Pink and white felt for the ears
Bunny ears template below
Yarn for the nose
Use pom pom maker or purchased pom pom
Hot glue gun
Cotton drawstring bag
Bunny face template
Heat transfer vinyl for the bunny face
Press or iron to press the image onto the bag
Step-by-step instructions:
- For the nose, you can use a pom pom maker or a store-bought pom pom. After you finish your nose, you can set it aside.
- If you use the bunny ears template from my shop, you can cut out your ears using the felt. (If you don't use a cutting machine, you can also use scissors to cut out the ears). Once you've cut out the ears, you can glue them together and set them aside.
- Print out the bunny face from the template. Cut the image onto a heat transfer vinyl of your choice.
Note: The size of the face depends on how big or small your bag is. Once you have the face cut out and weeded, you can set it aside.
- Set your heat press (or iron) to the correct setting. Once hot, you can press the bunny face onto the cotton bag.
- After you have attached the bunny face to the bag, you can now glue on the ears and nose. Once you've completed these steps, your Easter cone is ready!
Make your own Easter treat bag
Here's everything you need to know to sew one of these cute bags for your little ones at home!
Materials required:
Cotton fabric
Muslin bag
felt ball
craft needle
colored ribbon
Sewing machine and thread
Fabric scissors
Fabric iron
Step-by-step instructions:
- Cut out four round ears of corn from the cotton fabric, about 8 cm wide and 12 cm high.
- Place two shapes back to back, with the good side of the fabric on the inside.
- Sew around the shape with your sewing machine, being careful not to sew the bottom flat side closed - you need this opening to turn the ear right side up!
- Repeat steps 2-3 so that you have two sewn bunny ears. Turn both ears to the right side. To make the fabric fit a little better, you can straighten it with an iron.
- Place the ears in the muslin bag about 1/2 inch from the top seam and sew along the bottom of the ears. Be careful not to sew over the channel or cord.
- Take a pair of scissors and cut out the muslin cord, then cut a piece of ribbon about 14″ long. Thread the ribbon onto a craft needle and thread it through one side and back through the other channel on the opposite side. The ends should come out on the same side.
- Cut another piece of ribbon 35cm long and repeat the previous step but in the opposite direction of the first ribbon. The threads should come out on the other side of the string channels than the first piece.
- If you want, you can glue a cute felt ball and a face onto the bag, and tada! Easter joy to take with you!
