Are you tired of the waste that comes with traditional Easter baskets? From plastic eggs to cheaply made toys, it’s easy to see how the holiday can contribute to unnecessary waste. But fear not! We have the perfect solution to help you repurpose old jeans and create a unique Easter bunny that will delight kids and bunny lovers alike.
Why We Love This Basket Makeover
We’re all about finding creative ways to reduce waste and make use of what we already have. That’s why we’re excited to share this DIY denim bunny project with you! Not only does it give new life to old jeans that might otherwise end up in the trash, but it also provides a fun and eco-friendly alternative to traditional Easter baskets.
Here’s How to Make Your Own DIY Denim Bunny
- Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need pins, a bunny outline or stencil, one regular pair of jeans or a pocket from kid jeans, scissors, sewing supplies, stuffing (shredded fill and denim scraps), and ribbon.
- Prepare the Jeans: Cut down a seam on one leg of the jeans and cut at the top. Fold over the material so the inside of the jeans is not showing.
- Cut Out the Bunny Shape: Pin the bunny pattern to the jeans and cut around it to create a front and back piece for your bunny.
- Create the Bunny Pocket: Cut around a kid’s pocket, leaving the top intact. Sew the right sides together, flip it over, and stitch all the sides to create a pocket.
- Assemble the Bunny: Sew the two bunny pieces together, leaving a space open for stuffing. Add stuffing, focusing less on the ears to keep them floppy.
- Finish and Fill: Once the bunny is stuffed, sew it shut and add a treat or two to the pocket.
