How to Make a Sock Bunny
STEP ONE: Fill your sock with rice
After you have all your supplies, the first step in making your sock bunny craft is to fill your sock with rice. To make this easier, put the sock over the top of a tall glass as shown below.
Then pour the rice into the sock using a measuring cup.
STEP TWO: Tie the sock with rubber bands
The next part is to create the bunny by adding rubber bands in various spots. Start by tying a rubber band around the sock near the top of the filled rice to secure it into place.
Next, add another rubber band towards the middle of the filled sock to create a separation between the body and head.
Once you've done that, pull a small portion away from the sock towards the bottom and tie it with a rubber band. This will resemble the cottontail on the bunny sock.
STEP THREE: Trim the sock with scissors
The next part is to make the bunny ears! Trim off some of the excess material at the top of the sock, leaving a few inches. If you'd prefer long floppy ears, cut off a little less.
Next, make a cut towards the center and trim any excess until you like the shape of your bunny ears.
STEP FOUR: Add the final details
Now for the final details! Draw the bunny's nose and eyes using a Sharpie. Optionally, draw a mouth on your bunny.
Then, tie some ribbon around the bunny's neck and the base of the ears. Your bunny is now complete!
DIY Sock Bunny Variations
Here are some other fun ideas to try for your sock rabbit craft:
- Use brightly coloured socks for a more colourful touch
- Try adding glow-in-the-dark fabric paint to the socks or ribbon
- Use a variety of sock sizes to create a family of sock bunny rabbits
- Create fun accessories from felt, ribbon, or other craft supplies to glue to your bunny
- Use googly eyes and a small pom pom instead of drawing on your bunny's nose and eyes
- Glue a pom pom to the bottom of the sock for the bunny's tail instead of pulling the material through
We hope you have lots of fun making this super cute no-sew sock bunny craft! Kids of all ages from toddlers and beyond are sure to enjoy learning how to make a sock bunny Easter craft. The big question is, will you be able to stop at just making one of these cute DIY sock rabbits!?
