The Easter Bunny has become a symbol of Easter quite recently, and if you ask someone for what such merits, not everyone will answer. Not to mention the people of the older generation who had never heard of such a character. However, there is no single version of how the rabbit became an Easter symbol.

According to one version, the Easter bunny became the savior of the well-known ark. Legend has it that during its long voyage the ark received a hole in the bottom and would have inevitably sunk. If it weren’t for our long-eared hero, who covered it with his tail, for which he received such a high role in the main Christian holiday.

The second version takes us back to the pagan pre-Christian era, to Germany. Rabbits were considered the main assistants of the goddess of fertility and spring rebirth, Eostre, whom the Germans revered most of all. And due to the fact that Easter is always celebrated in the spring, the rabbit became the Easter rabbit.

But the idea to assign rabbits the unusual role of laying eggs is attributed to Goetta himself. To entertain his guests, the poet hid colorful eggs under the bushes in his garden, and when they found them, he claimed that the Easter bunny had brought them. To this day, children look for nests on Easter morning. chocolate eggs and gifts, believing that, of course, the rabbit brings them to them.

When this tradition came to us, our children liked it and they also began to make nests for the rabbit. However, adults are not averse to decorating their home with such a cute Easter symbol. If you also want to do original gift For your child, family or friends, we invite you to sew the Easter bunny yourself according to the master class we prepared.

Easter egg-rabbits

Materials needed for sewing Easter bunny eggs:

• pattern;
• textile;
• filler (sintepon, holofiber);
• embroidery threads (iris, floss).

Operating procedure

1. We lay out the proposed pattern on the material. It should be noted that a prerequisite is compliance with the split line indicated on the pattern. The grain line always coincides with the edge line, but if there is no edge on the cut, pull the fabric. Along the side where the material stretches slightly, there is a split thread.
2. We translate the pattern of all the details, mark the top. We cut out the blanks, taking into account allowances (4-6 mm) for the seams. Place the two parts of the egg with their right sides facing each other and baste or pin together. We start sewing from the top of the egg, marked on the fabric, leaving 1 cm of the seam unstitched at the bottom.
3. We turn the workpiece right side up and apply the third part, not forgetting to take into account where the top of the egg is. We stitch in the same way as the first two parts. All that remains is to sew all three parts along the last seam.
4. We turn the workpiece inside out through the slot at the bottom, then fill it with padding polyester. Our ears are already stitched, turned inside out and ironed. All that remains is to assemble our egg into a cute bunny egg.
5. We sew up the hole, if possible with a hidden seam. We do not cut the thread, but bring the eggs to the top and tighten them a little. A small indentation should form at the bottom of the base.
6. We sew the ears to the egg and bring the thread to the nose area. Having made a small seam, we take the thread down and tighten it a little - a slight relief is formed in the area of ​​​​the nose. All that remains is to embroider the nose of our rabbit egg.
7. We begin to embroider with satin stitch, decreasing the stitch size by 1-2 threads each time. We embroider the mouth using small stitches. We bring the thread down and cut it.
8. We draw eyes acrylic paints. We tie a bow on the ears. Meet the Easter bunny and egg in one bottle.

The Easter Bunny is a tradition with long roots. In Germany, already in the 16th century, the Easter bunny was a symbol of fertility and wealth. In North America, as well as some European countries, there is a custom to hide Easter eggs. The awakened children rush to search the entire house and as a result discover the Easter bunny in a “nest” with many colorful eggs. Sweets and toys are made in the shape of rabbits, as well as souvenirs that look like entire families of rabbits.

Like Valentine's Day (February 14), this tradition has become widespread in our country. Children really enjoy playing and making up stories about these cute toys. Therefore, rabbits must be present at Easter.

We immediately sew on the decoration - on our sample it is a heart.

Sew the rabbit together, leaving a small hole for stuffing. If desired, you can insert a tag on the side.

We turn the toy inside out, stuff it with padding polyester or other toy filling and sew up the hole with a hidden seam.

To make the second rabbit, we also prepare a pattern and cut it out with seam allowances.

On a sewn oval made of plain fabric (you can use thin fleece) we embroider a muzzle.

We cut out the paws from a fabric of a different color and sew them together.

Turn it inside out and stuff it with padding polyester.

We fold the two parts of the future toy with the front sides inward. Mark the places where the paws will be

We insert the paws inside:

Step 3. We bend the left corner in the same way.
