Felt Easter Bunny and Flowers Bunting - Printable Templates!

Felt Easter Bunny and Flowers Bunting

Still a few weeks to Easter, so have popped in another Easter craft which is fun and easy to do...

You will need... (for one Bunny)

Felt (185 x 105mm for Bunny and 85 x 85mm for Flower)

Either same colour felt for all your Bunnies, with contrasting Flowers, or make them all different - your choice!

One Button

Googly eyes (or small round pieces of contrasting felt)

 
A length of ribbon or tape (length depends on number of Bunnies!)

How to make it...

Print out the patterns



Cut out the Bunny and the Flower (use the smaller size)

Stitch the Flower onto the Bunny, with a button in the centre. (The yellow flower in the picture is one I die-cut with my Big Shot, but you can just use the template I've given you, for all your flowers)

Attach the Googly Eyes. (you can just use small circles of a contrasting colour of felt if you want)

Attach the Bunnies to the ribbon or tape, using double-sided sticky pads.

Enjoy making your Easter Bunny Bunting and have a Happy Easter holiday!

British Royal Family - Quiz!


2012 is a very exciting and busy year here in Great Britain...

We have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (60 years on the throne) which will be celebrated with various events, pageantry and parades in June and then we host the Olympics in July and Paralympics in August.

So to start the ball rolling (on this Blog!), I have put together a small quiz about the British Royal Family - maybe you will learn something new about our Queen and her family!

Enjoy this with your groups - I have put the answers on a separate page...

More Christmas Placemats - Printable to Colour-In!



You wanted more Christmas Placemats and so here they are...!


The Nativity Scene by Gustav Dore (in Public Domain) is shaded, so just lightly colour it in, so the shading comes through - or you can leave it as is and just colour in the lettering!

The Poinsettia flower in the second Placemat is known here, in the UK, as the Christmas flower. As it is a plant that grows in warmer climates (common in Zimbabwe and South Africa) it has to be grown here in heated greenhouses, ready for the Christmas season.

Have fun preparing for the Christmas Season!
