Nose

Use a light brown yarn to embroider it on the head of the bunny.

Bunny tail

The bunny tail is made with a pom pom. To make a mini pom you can make a template using thin cardboard. Take some cardboard and make two, 2-inch circles.

Cut an ½ inch hole from the middle of the circle. Then cut a V from the circle so you have an opening. You should see the letter C. Take the yarn and wrap it around the two cartons. Wrap the yarn about ½ inch thick.

Place the carton with the wrapped yarn between your left thumb and index finger.

Then cut the yarn open on the outside of the carton. Keep your finger on the side so the yarn can’t go anywhere.

When all the yarn is cut slide the two pieces of carton open a little bit so you can wrap a piece of yarn alongside the C and tie a knot around the pom pom.

Take your scissors and cut away yarn that is too long and shape it into a nice round pom pom.
