Upcycled wool sweater bunny basket

Easter Crafternoon prep is in the works! I'm making baskets out of tin cans and old wool sweaters. I started off with a bunny basket out of old clothing, buttons and thrift store fabric.

Here's my pattern... The basket is a cute bunny face with floppy ears.

The pattern includes the face plus ears...

I cut out the pieces then added eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers...

Here's the bunny face - cute!

I cut out a front and back for the face then one long piece that became the bottom of the bag plus floppy bunny ears.

I first stitched the front to the long piece...

Then stitched the back and added a handle using thrift store fabric...

Oh I also added a tail to the back of the basket!

From beginning to end... A cutie patootie bunny basket.

Next up is the tin can basket... Then I may just make a garland out of cereal boxes.
