Easter Idea – No-Sew Bunny Pillow With A Twist

When looking for an Easter idea, I’m sure you’ve seen bunny silhouette pillows before.  Perhaps, you’ve even seen no-sew versions.

But mine is no-sew with a twist!  You’ll have to scroll down to see what it is.  winkwink

I’m here to share how I made my no-sew bunny pillow with you, along with a downloadable bunny silhouette and directions for making a half pom-pom for the tail.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Supplies:

An old shirt or any piece of fabric

A pillow

Double-sided fusible webbing

Bunny silhouette template {link to download is below}

Yarn

A piece of cardboard cut into a half moon shape

Scissors

Hot glue gun and glue stick {not pictured}

Ribbon {not pictured}

Hem tape {not pictured}

And here’s what to do:
  Directions:   1. Download and print the bunny silhouette template.

   2. After cutting out the silhouette, lay it on your shirt (or fabric) and trace around the edge of the silhouette.  Cut the image out.

3. Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the fusible webbing for applying the fabric silhouette to your pillow.

4. Make a half pom-pom.  This picture is pretty self explanatory, I think.

5. Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the hem tape to apply ribbon to the pillow.

6. Apply the pom-pom tail with a spot of hot glue.

Done!

 Now here’s the twist.

 Not only did I repurpose an old shirt in making this pillow, I also am getting double the use out of a holiday pillow!

Because of the evergreen branches on it, this pillow is normally put away after Christmas and winter are over with – taking up valuable storage space in my Christmas bins.

I love to keep special pillows on the bench in my foyer to greet my guests.  Here’s how the bench looks through the winter.

 And here’s how it looks for Spring and Easter.

How about you – do you have special pillows that you like to use for each holiday?
