Sock bunnies and wooden brushes

Wishfairy2010

Hi All,

I've been trawling for a new cute craft idea and found sleepy sock bunnies. Can anyone give/find me instructions on how to make them as I've only found the ones like the monkeys so far. What I'm after is like this

I also need a new supply of little wooden hairbrushes as my local pound shop has stopped stocking them :mad: Ideally like these ones.

Hope you kind people are willing to share your secrets

I liked your idea so much that I have been out and bought some socks and in the last half hour have made 2 bunnies. I now need to sew their faces. Not sure if the tutorial included it but I cut the toe of the sock. Then I cut down to split for the ears. In 1 seam I sewed top of 1 ear, down side, up the other ear and across the toop. The toe has been used for the base of the finished bunny after stuffing. I tucked the toe inside the ankle then whip stitched it closed.

Thanks again for the idea.
I have made 1 each for my grandaughters to go in the carrycot, sewn, I have made them each. Almost ready for tomorrow for easter presents as they are little and both mums prefer not too much chocolate so they will get their own easter bunny in its own bed.

Love the bunnies and what a lovely idea to paint a name on a brush like that............:T
