Adrian loves the lovies that he has. He is in a phase right now where he is genuinely comforted with a blanket or one of his stuffingless lovies...so I was in a bit of a crafty mood yesterday and decided to make him one. It was super easy! All you need is: an old fleece blanket (usually $1.50 - $3 at the end of the winter season..sooo much cheaper than buying fleece by the yard), quilting needle, quilting thread, scissors and a marker.
Step 1: Fold blanket in half and draw half a bunny against the fold:
Step 2: Cut along the line. Place cut out piece on top of folded blanket against the fold. Cut again. You will have two identical sides.
It will look like this:
Sew the two pieces together. I decided to keep the stitching on the outside instead of turning it inside-out because I like the look of it. Before you sew the two sides of the head together, you may want to create a sleepy bunny face.
Once both sides have been sewn together, tie knots at the ears, neck, arms and legs. This is for baby to chew on.
When complete, give to baby. He will be filled with joy.
If you decide to make one, let me know how it goes!
This is such a great idea!! I love it! I will have to remember this when I have a little one!
