Stat by downloading and printing our free template at the bottom of this post.
Gather your fabrics and cut to a smaller rectangle, big enough to fit two of each template.
Using a good light source and an erasable fabric pen, trace the templates onto the fabric.
Draw on a few dots to mark the placement for the embroidered flowers.
Secure the embroidery hoop around the fabric; using three strands of each embroidery thread, stitch the Lazy Daisies (can be found in stitch guide here: https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/ideas/sewing/how-to-embroider---beginner-stitch-guide
Once complete carefully erase the fabric pen marks, thren add a few French knots around the flowers.
Remove from the hoop and cut out the bunny ear pieces and centre piece.
With the right sides together, pin around the fabric pieces.
Use a 0.5cm seam allowance and stitch around the piece, making sure to leave a gap in the centre to turn the fabric through and for filling with stuffing.
Turn through fully, then press.
Take the centre fabric strips, fold in 0.5cm each side, stitch and press well. Set to one side.
Fill the ears with toy stuffing, making them as full as possible. Leave the piece in the centre without any stuffing.
Gather the hair clips and centre fabric strips, then take your glue gun and add a dab of hot glue to the centre of the hair clip. Stick the centre fabric piece to this.
Wrap under the top part of the clip and bring up round the centre part of the ears.
Pull tight and secure the end with hot glue.
Leave the glue unitl completely dry, then you bunny ear hair clips are ready to wear!
