It’s time to fill up those Easter Egg string baskets I made for the kiddos last year. Since I’m sure they will be covered in the chocolate bunny category, I wanted to give them another bunny filled with jelly beans. And the Easter bunny paper candy pouch idea was born. 
I saw the concept of sewn candy pouches around Christmas time through a pin from Peppermint Plum. See, how cute at these? 
But I wanted to make it Easter special. So I found an image of a bunny I liked and cut out two bunnies. It’s best to do cut both at once so all the edges match up. 
Then stitch up those bunnies. 
I left a generous opening in the fluffy tail region so I could stuff the pouch with jelly beans. 
Make sure to work them into the ears and feet. Then just stitch closed. 
I went with a light green thread to coordinate with Jack’s light green basket, but it does draw attention to the stitching! So OCD folks, beware.
I needed a final touch to top off my bunny and decided a little pom pom yarn tail was just the ticket. I used the fork technique to create my pom poms. You can find a good example of this technique here. 
Just a little dab of hot glue to stick the tail and I was done! Love my adorable bunny and I’ve enjoyed eating the extra jelly beans that I just couldn’t fit in the bunny…..
