Absolutely! Combining different textures or contrasting colors adds personality to your rabbit. Just make sure the felt pieces are compatible in thickness.
Can I personalize my felt rabbit with accessories?
Yes, adding tiny scarves, bows, or little felt clothes instantly makes your rabbit unique and playful. Small details let you customize each bunny for gifts or seasonal decor.
What stuffing works best for a soft but firm rabbit shape?

Hey Hanna,
Adorable patterns are perfect for a quick win. What works best for me with felt bunnies is wool or wool-blend felt for cleaner edges, a tight blanket stitch around the curve. I embroider eyes and noses for kid-safe gifts, add a little lavender to the stuffing, and close with a ladder stitch so the seam disappears. Printing at 80–120% scales beautifully if you want pocket bunnies or a cuddle size without redrafting. Lovely share!

Hi Marios,
Thank you so much! Great tips, especially about felt choice and scaling the pattern. Really appreciate you sharing!

I love these cute and simple bunny rabbit crafts! For someone who isn’t really “good” at crafts, your templates are so straightforward and the results are adorable. Thank you for sharing your talent — and inspiration — with us. I have a question — how do you set aside time for crafting like this? I have a hard time getting a quiet space for crafting. 🙂
Thank you so much, this really means a lot to me! I’m happy to hear the templates feel easy to use, that’s exactly what I aim for.
As for time and space, I now have my own studio, but it wasn’t always that way. I started with a simple box of supplies and crafted wherever I could, at the kitchen table, in the evenings, and during any quiet moments I could find. I didn’t wait for perfect conditions, just used small pockets of time.
Even 20-30 minutes can make a big difference if you’re consistent. Thank you again for your kind words and inspiration!
