Well, it seems that Kami has deleted her blog,
so I'm posting my tutorial here:

Today I want to show you how to make

this cute little Felt Bunny Hair Clip. 

A great gift for Easter!

The materials that you're going to need are:

• A template. You can make it in any form that you like. I've made some that look like bunnies and one as a duck.
• Pieces of felt in any color you prefer. You can also use scraps because you won't need a big piece anyway.
• Yarn or thread and needle.
• Metallic hair clips
• Polyfill or even cotton balls
• Ribbon in a different or matching color.
• Hot glue gun, for making things quicker.

First of all, fold the piece of felt or use two pieces of scrap

and pin your template in place.

Carefully cut around the design.

Now you'll have 2 identical pieces.

Take the top one and start embellishing it

with anything you like,

beads, sequins, buttons, whatever you have laying around.

With some thread you can also stitch the nose and the mouth.

When you're done, pin the two pieces together so

that they'll stay in place as you stitch them together.

Blanket stitch around your bunny.

Before you reach the end, start filling it up

with polyfill or cotton balls.

You can use a chopstick, the back of a pencil 

or even a paper clip so that you can push the filling to the edges.

Finish it up!

Now, for the hair clip all you need is a simple metallic hair clip

and some ribbon in any color you prefer.

The good thing about this project is that you can

"play" with colors and make any combination that you like.

It's up to you!

With your hot glue gun, start from the inner bottom

of the hair clip and start  gluing the ribbon as you go.

You want to cover the whole hair clip around

so that the edges of the ribbon start and end inside.

Put some glue on top of the hair clip and

secure your bunny in place.

Your new Felt Bunny Hair Clip is ready to be worn!

You can make as many as you want to

and give them as gifts to little ones,

add them in their Easter baskets or even organize 

a Easter Hair Clip "Treasure Hunt" with

hidden little creatures all over the place!

I hope that you enjoyed my little tutorial and

if you make anything like this I'd love to see it!
