I have had a real passion for crafting with felt over the past two years, and have noticed my little creations really appeal to crafters in particular. I hope you enjoy this simple needle felted rabbit for Easter!
Materials you will need:
Felt Roving {light brown, black & pink}
Compressed of ‘Flat’ Felt Roving {light brown to match body}
Small to Medium Sized Styrofoam Eggs
Felting Needles & Felting Mat
*Mini Flower Pot for Display & Herbs
Step 1 – Spread some light brown roving around a Styrofoam egg form. The consistency of the roving should be like cotton candy pulled apart.
Start applying the roving to the egg with a felting needle until the entire shapes is an opaque light brown color. To achieve this, you will need to keep applying whisps of roving on top of the form.
Step 2 – To make a face for your rabbit egg, take a tiny piece of black roving and make a ball with it between your fingers. Now apply it to the egg with a needle to form the first eye. Next, add the other eye and then a nose.
Step 3 – To form two little cheeks for your rabbit, take a few whisps of pink roving and apply them in two circular shapes. I like to use a double pronged felting needle for this step. I find I can achieve a ‘softer’ effect.
Step 4 – Cut two ears out of flat felt roving that are the same size. Apply them to the back of the egg shape like shown in the picture. Apply a little bit of loose felt roving on top to make the ears appear more natural ?
Display your felted rabbit eggs in some mini flower pots for an adorable instant decoration. I added some parsley in mine for some green color, but even moss would look cute. Happy Easter everyone!
