I've made 2 flannel bunnies and 2 flannel chicks...







Followed the folding instructions on this site but made different chick beaks and didn't add feet (was very late last night when I did them ). I like the chicks best

There lovely i just cant get my rabbits to look right

threelittlepigs and rainmac, your easter buckets look fabulous, they are going to be well recieved.
rainmac I love the flannel bunnies and chicks, they look very cute.

my attempt at bunnies and chicks
my bunny has no tail or nose yet:rotfl: also no eggs yet either
where do you get your pom poms from?


my chick looks kinda strange too :rotfl:

They look fab rainmac. Did you glue the eyes etc on? I am asking this as I just wondered if you could use the flannels afterwards and if things are glued on is this possible?

Thanks

I glued the eyes and sewed the pom poms on as couldn't get them to stick with glue. My flannels will def not be able to be used afterwards

rainmac

threelittlepigs - they look really fab :T. Did you sew the faces like in the intructions? I didn't bother, well did give it a go but gave up as sewing layers of flannel proved pretty difficult for my poor sewing skills :rolleyes: I got my pom poms from Hobbycraft. How many do you need, you could have a couple of mine - send me a PM if you're interested

I struggled with the rabbits but persevered, it was the face that I found hard.

Have you tried turning the flannel roll over (after you've folded it in half) so the face is made up of the other side, that's how I cracked it.
