The girls are on Spring Break this week and Easter is just 6 days away, so you probably know what time it is. IT'S TIME for a....

Seasonal, wearable, artsy, accessory... or 2... or 3. We have so many we want to do and so little time (I hate when that happens).

H is 5 years old going on 25. She is really into purses, and wallets, and carrying her "coin money and dollars" everywhere she goes. She generally leaves the house like a blinking, neon exclamation point, if you catch my drift. So it got me thinking that she would probably really love a little bunny purse to go with her Easter dress and her flower necklace and her flower power ring(s). May I present (carrot stick drum roll please) the fuzzy, no sew, pom pom bunny purse and her sidekicks: sleepy lamb purse and flower crown bunny purse.

Materials:

9 images joined together, showing step by step process to create the bunny purse. The example is white bunny shown on green background

1. Take your felt square and fold the bottom half way up. This fold will be your purse section. 2. Draw a bunny head on your fold and ears on the top section above your fold. 3. Cut out your bunny shape. 4. Cut out two little eyes out of a darker felt color. 5. Add a little oval nose. 6. Add two skinny, straight lines for your little bunny mouth. 7. Two round, pink circles for the cheeks. 8. Whiskers! 9. Add a finishing touch... a felt flower, a little faux flower crown (scroll down) or a button bloom (pictured on sleepy lamb).
