Ingredients

  • 1 small sock
  • rice
  • string
  • ribbon
  • pom moms

Instructions

  1. Begin by filling the heel of the sock with rice. This will be the bunny's bottom. Tie it off with string to secure the rice in place. Make sure it’s tightly sealed so it holds its shape.

    A hand holds a blue sock bunny filled with rice next to a metal bowl of uncooked rice and a metal measuring cup on a white surface.

  2. Next, fill the top of the sock with more rice for the head. Again, tie it off with string, creating a defined shape for the bunny’s face.

    A blue sock bunny made from socks and filled with rice sits beside a metal bowl of rice and a measuring cup. White string ties sections of the bunny, and a ball of white yarn is in the background.

  3. Cut the ankle section of the sock straight down the middle to create two ear shapes. Trim the edges to a point to mimic real bunny ears.

    A hand with light blue nail polish uses scissors to cut an ear shape from a blue sock stuffed and tied with string, creating a cute DIY sock bunny craft.

  4. Tie a coordinating ribbon around the bunny’s neck.

    A hand with blue nail polish holds a handmade sock bunny, its soft blue fabric accented by a white ribbon bow around its neck. A metal bowl is blurred in the background.

  5. Use a marker to add facial features like eyes, a nose, and whiskers. You can also glue on buttons, felt pieces, or even use embroidery thread for added detail.

    A person uses a black marker to draw eyes on a small blue sock bunny made from fabric, holding it steady with their other hand. The bunny has floppy ears and white pipe cleaner whiskers.

  6. Finally, glue a pom-pom to the back of the sock to serve as the bunny's fluffy tail.

    A hand holds a blue, sock bunny-shaped craft with two round sections, floppy ears, and a sparkly silver pom-pom tail against a white background.

Recipe Notes

Try using different colors and patterns to create a variety of sock bunnies. Instead of rice  for filling the sock, use cotton balls for a softer feel.
