How to make an Easter pompom bunny family with chenille stems.
Refer to the photo and hand-drawn diagram for help in assembling this adorable little family made of pompoms and chenille stems!
You Will Need:
- Chenille Pieces
- Pompoms – You’ll need 4 sizes of pompoms to make the whole family (a total of 10 for each adult and 12 for baby bunny)
- 4 novelty eyes
- 2 pompoms for baby eyes
- Wire ribbon scrap for skirt
- Ribbon for necks of the bunnies
- Hot glue or tacky glue (hot glue is much easier)
Pompom Bunny Family DIY
The diagram below shows the assembly for the body. Please refer to both the photo and the diagram as you proceed with the instructions.
For the legs, fold one white chenille stem in half and twist together. Fold in half again. Repeat for the arms with a 10 inch length stem. Fold a 6 inch length of white chenille in half to make the centre of the body. Refer to photo for assembling the body of mom and dad.
Make the ears by folding an eight inch pink chenille stem in half and then in half again, twisting the bottom securely as you go. Take a white chenille stem and twist in place at the bottom of your pink inner ear, wrap up and over the outside of the pink chenille, secure at the bottom by wrapping around and move up and down again, securing at the bottom. Twist very securely at the bottom of the ear and cut off excess.
Dab a bit of glue to secure all the stems in place. Repeat this for Mom and Dad’s ears, making four ears in total. For the baby bunny, use a four inch stem instead and make two ears.
To create the shirt and pants, simply wrap chenille stems around your original body stems until you have the desired thickness. I used only one fluffy chenille stem for the shirt and two regular stems for the legs.
Fashion mama bunny’s skirt from a bit of pretty wired ribbon and secure it in place with a little glue.
Glue pompoms for the hands and feet, tie a bow around the neck of each bunny, add a little gold trim or ribbon to Mom’s wrist, glue ears in place and assemble face. Refer to the photo for placement of pompoms.
For baby bunny, simply glue pompoms together as shown in the diagram, add teeny pompoms for the eyes and little buttons on his tummy. Tie a bow around baby’s neck and you are all done.
As you can see, these bunnies fit perfectly into a Berry Nice Easter Basket made from ribbon and a recycled berry basket. Super cute!
