Bunny Egg Cosy Tutorial

March 22, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

Bunny Egg Cosy Tutorial

This Easter we have made Bunny Egg Cosies from some lovely 100% merino wool felt. They make cute little Easter gifts or table decorations. The beautiful wool felt comes from Two Blue Birdies. Check out this post for a chance to win a colourful merino wool felt bundle from Two Blue Birdies (entries close 29 March 2015).

Bunny Egg Cosy Tutorial

These egg cosies were fun to make and would be a fun project for a beginner sewer or older child.

If you would like to make your own, you will need the following supplies:

  • white wool felt for body and ears
  • pink wool felt for nose
  • 2 safety eyes, black, 4.5 mm
  • small piece of floral fabric
  • Embroidery floss – pink, black, and blue
  • double sided fusible web, such as steam a seam

Bunny Egg Cosy measures 3 1/2 inches wide, and 3 1/8 inches from top of head to bottom (excluding the ears).

Bunny Egg Cosy Tutorial

Here is the Template :    Felt Bunny Egg Cosy

1. Using the template, cut out:

  • Left and right ear from white felt
  • front and back of bunny from white felt
  • nose from pink felt

2. Trace the inner ears on to the paper backing of the fusible web. Cut around the shape, leaving at least 1/4 inch around each ear. Fuse onto the back of the floral fabric. Cut around the ear shapes. Remove the paper backing on the appliqué fabric. Fuse the inner ear onto the white felt ears.

3. Stitch around the inner ear to secure using a small stitch length on your sewing machine.

4. Refer to the template for the facial features. Attach safety eyes (or stitch eyes using embroidery floss).  Pin the nose in position and then stitch around the nose in pink thread using a buttonhole stitch. Use black embroidery floss to stitch mouth and whiskers as shown.Construction

5. Pin the front and back of the bunny together. Insert the ears between the layers where marked on the template and pin in place. Stitch around the cosy from one side to the other, securing the ears as you go. Use a scant seam allowance of approximately 1/8 inch.

Construction 36. Using matching embroidery floss, stitch a running stitch around the bottom edge of the cosy to finish.

    Hi There,
    These are too cute!! Im wondering about the eye balls that were used. Where do you find them and who is the manufacturer? Do you prefer using these over sewing on a black bead?

    Thanks,
    Renee

      Hi Renee – The plastic eyes are super quick to insert but hand embroidered eyes would work just as well. I have bought some of the safety eyes on Etsy – they are available in a range of sizes.
