Guest Blogger - The Little Green Bean - Burlap Bunnies

I am so flattered that I was asked by Michelle here at Someday Crafts to do a tutorial for my burlap bunnies!

My name is Missy and I have an awesome blog called The Little Green Bean. I do lots of different projects, from sewing to home decor. I'd love to have you come check out my archives.

Here are my 3 favorite posts! This first one is my camera bag, I am so excited about this one, because it is something I made all on my own, no pattern, nothing! And my readers are loving it, which I thank all of you for! You can read the full post here.

My next favorite is another post that was very well recieved and that was my accidental bedroom makover.

I was simply going to paint an old dresser and then this happened! I love when I do that! You can read that full post Here.

And finally my 3rd favorite is

Spring pillows! I had so much fun making these, I used all recycled materials ranging from coffee bean sacks to old kitchen curtains! You can read this post here.

So here goes! I don't really have a pattern, just my own little design.

Supplies I used are burlap, buttons, ribbon, craft ink, paint, container, spanish moss, rice, batting.

Cut out 2 pieces for the body, and 2 for the ears. Sew and/or surge the body, right sides together and turn right side out. Stitch along the outside of the ears, leaving the bottom open. Do not turn, leave the stitched side out.

I then used some craft ink and a sponge to lightly color the inside of the ears.

Next fill the body 1/2 full with rice, and fill the top 1/2 with batting.

Next sew the top shut, then place the open end of the ears over the top of the body and pin in place. Run a zig-zag stitch to hold the 2 pieces together.

Now it is time to paint on the face, use black for the eyes and pink for the nose, once dry outline with a paint marker. Tie a ribbon around the ears to cover up your stitching.

Then add buttons to dress him up. Fill your container with Spanish moss. I like old sweet potato cans, but I found these really cute round boxes at the dollar store, and they are already decorated for spring!

That's it! I hope this was easy to follow along, if you have any questions please contact me.

They are all available at my ETSY shop, I would love for you to stop by my blog too, The Little Green Bean I have all kinds of creations that I have made! Thanks for looking!

When I saw these burlap bunnies (and fell in love) a couple of weeks ago, I looked for a tutorial on The Little Green Bean and couldn't see one. She accepted my invitation to post these on my blog. Since she posted pictures of these a few weeks ago, I have seen numerous burlap bunnies pop up around blog land (inspired by her creation). I have to say these are still the cutest burlap bunnies I've seen. Missy has so many fun ideas at her blog, The Little Green Bean. Go check it out HERE and become a follower so you can be inspired by her more often!!!
