Bunny Costumes - Create Your Own Without Sewing

Bunny costumes are popular in the spring around Easter time and can also be used during the fall for Halloween costumes. You may even want to be the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland this year.

An easy way to make the costume without sewing is to begin using gray sweats. The sweats form the body of the suit. Other than the sweats including a hooded shirt without a zipper, you will need fusible web, pink or white felt and material that matches the sweats to form the ears.

The bunny's belly can be pink or white. It is cut from the felt in the shape of an egg. Follow the package directions to attach the fusible web to the felt first and then to the shirt. Allow the egg shaped felt to extend three or four inches below the hem of the shirt. This helps to round out the bunny's belly.

Ears can also be made with the fusible web. The outer part of the ear should match the material of the sweats and the inner ear should match the belly. If you want stiff ears that stand up, they can be attached to an inexpensive hair band and slits cut through the hood to allow the ears to poke out. The inner and outer ear should both be attached to an interfacing using the fusible web. Floppy ears do not need the interfacing and can be attached directly to the hood.

The bunny tail can be made from a large white pompom purchased at a craft store. If you cannot find the pompom, make your own using white yarn. Wrap the yarn around a four inch piece of cardboard approximately 100 times. Carefully slide the yarn off of the cardboard and tie tightly with another piece of yarn in the center. Cut the loops and trim to a ball shape and attach to the seat of the sweat pants.

Face makeup can be used to add whiskers to the face and a black spot on the nose. Now get into the bunny attitude and you have one of the best bunny costumes that you have created all for yourself.
