- Glue gun may be used by adults)
- Toothpicks (to spread glue)

Cut two small ears from the pink felt.
Cut two large ears from the white felt.
Glue pink ears onto white ears. Centering and aligning bottom of ears together. Set aside.
Cut two 2" circles from the white felt.
Glue ears on one white circle. Spacing should be approximately 1/4" apart and slightly slanted
outwards. The bottom 1/2" of the ear should be glued to the white circle to ensure they
will stay in place. Set aside.
Spread glue on the other white circle. Starting in the middle and going in a clockwise fashion, place
the chenille onto the glue covered circle. It should overlap the edge so the felt can't be
seen. Cut exess chenile off. Press down with the palm of your hand to hold in place for
a few minutes until the glue starts to set.
Spread glue on the white circle that has the ears attached to it. Same side as ears are
attached to. Leave an area in the middle free of glue. This will make it easier to insert
the safety pin if you choose not to sew or glue on.
Attach the face to the back. Back side of face circle to front side of ears circle. Press down to
make sure front and back adhere to each other.
Place a small amount of glue on the white pom-pom's and place close to the bottom of
the chenille approximately 1/2" appart. These will be Fuzzy Bunnies cheeks.
Place a small amount of glue on the pink pom-pom and place towards the middle of the "face".
Centering between the two cheeks, but not touching. This is Fuzzy Bunnies nose.
Place a small amount of glue on the backs of the eyes and place towards the top of the "face",
above the nose.
Leave to dry a few hours before attaching the pin to the back.
To attach the safety pin or broach pin, hand sew using a few whip stitches or cross stitches, to keep the pin
in place. Using tacky glue, spread a small amount over the pin and stitching. Let
dry completely before wearing.
NOTE: These pins make great projects for Brownies and Guides.
