INSPIRATION
I made a fun Spring Fabric Rag Garland this month and had fabric leftover. Being one to not waste anything, I wondered what I could do with the extra fabric from the garland, since there was a considerable amount left from each fabric color. When I made my Vintage Halloween Fabric Rag Garland last fall, I made Toilet Paper Pumpkins with my leftover fabric. My mind went back to toilet paper rolls and I got the idea to do Toilet Paper Bunnies. I used up my leftover fabric, made another really cute project in under 30 minutes, and feel good about not wasting materials. I consider that a win!

PROJECT MATERIALS
NOTE: I bought the toilet paper, bunny ear headband and ribbon at the Dollar Tree.

I used leftover fabric from a previous project.
Fabric should be at least 18″ x 18″. My leftover fabric was approximately 19 x 24.
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS
Bunny Ears Headband (Dollar Tree)
Clover Pom Pom Maker Size 3 1/8″ (see below for another pom pom making option)
Fabric Glue (I use Aleene’s Orignal Tacky Glue)
Ribbon of your choice (Dollar Tree)
Scissors
Toilet Paper Roll(s) (Dollar Tree)
WHITE medium 4 worsted weight yarn (for bunny tail)

PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
Place your fabric flat with wrong side up. Put your toilet paper roll in the center of the fabric (left photo).
Bring one side of the fabric up over the top of the toilet paper (middle photo).
Tuck the ends of the fabric down into the toilet paper tube (right photo).
Fold the next section of fabric slightly over the first section (left photo).
Bring the fabric up over the top of the toilet paper (middle photo).
Tuck the ends of the fabric down into the toilet paper tube (right photo).
Repeat all the way around until all of the fabric has been tucked down into the toilet paper tube.
Photos below show the fabric tucked all the way around from the top view and front view.

Tuck the ears down into the fabric wrapped toilet paper tube (right photo).
MAKING A POM POM BUNNY TAIL
For the bunny tail you will want to use white yarn to make an approximately 3″ pom pom. I used the Clover Pom Pom Maker 3 1/8″ and it makes an almost perfect pom pom.

You can also make a pom pom by using just your hand. This blog post from 2beesinapod.com has directions for making a pom pom garland and within that post it gives instructions for making a hand pom pom.
The left photo shows a finished pom pom made with the Clover Pom Pom Maker.
From the backside of your toilet paper bunny, take your fabric glue and, just off to the side, make a circle of glue big enough for a good portion of the pom pom to stick to (middle photo).
Flatten one side of the pom pom (right photo).
Stick the pom pom tail to the glue and hold it there for a minute or so to make sure it sticks (left photo). Re-fluff pom pom.
Middle photo show a side view of the bunny tail.
