I was given a flannel bunny as a present a few years ago and thought it was a great idea! This bunny has a bar of soap inside it but for Easter, I made a few of these for my family and put a chocolate egg with each one instead.

Gather your materials together. I always find it easier if I make sure I have everything to hand before I start on a project.
Fold two opposite corners of the flannel so the tips touch the middle (see picture)
Fold in half, diagonally across.
Place the soap in the middle of the flannel.
Bring the ends together, over the soap, and fasten with one of the elastic bands.
Fasten the other elastic band approximately 1 inch above the other. This gives plenty of space for the head with long enough ears!
Tie a nice neat bow around the 1st elastic band. Trim the ends so that it is even.
Sew the first eye on with a contrasting thread (I chose white). Avoid red unless making demon rabbits! ;) Make the eyes by sewing a few small lines over each other - see picture!
Sew the 2nd eye in the same way.
Finally sew the nose on, similar to the eyes but more of a triangular shape.
And there you have 1 completed flannel bunny! Happy crafting!
