How The New Museum Committed Suicide With Banality[edit] David W. The quick little bunny tutorial. I really wanted to make the sock bunny that Heidi (from My Paper Crane) created, but I didn’t have any of those fantastic red and brown monkey socks.
What I do have is baby socks: tons of cute, mismatched, totally useless, never stay on baby socks. Now that my littlest is very much not an infant and too soon will be a toddler it seems kind of silly to keep all those teeny tiny socks. So I made a bunny out of them. And a tutorial too. This is indeed a quick little bunny. Materials: baby socka handful of stuffingheavy duty threadscissors Make that bunny: Before you start sewing take second to look at the sock you have.
The body: Take some stuffing and stuff the foot part of the sock–not too tight! The tail: On the top of the bunny’s back, sew a circle about an inch in diameter with a simple running stitch. The head: To make the head, put a little stuffing inside the sock and sew a running stitch around the top of the heel. The ears: Cut a big V shape out of the top of the sock.
