Here's how to create a Spring Bunny Hoop Wreath:

STEP ONE

To begin the DIY Bunny Tail Embroidery Hoop, gather all supplies. Unroll Poly-Fil® Project Fleece™ Batting onto your work surface. Lay embroidery hoop on top of the batting and rough cut a square slightly larger than the hoop.

Unscrew the embroidery hoop hardware to loosen the outer ring. Separate the inner hoop from the outer hoop, and lay both wooden rings out on your work surface.

STEP TWO

Layer smaller inner hoop on the bottom, double-thick batting, and then the larger outer hoop on the top. Push the outer hoop down around the inner hoop to create a sandwich. Tighten the screw at the top.

Trim excess Poly-Fil Project Fleece from the back of the embroidery hoop with scissors. Don't worry about these cuts not being perfectly straight, it is the back of the project so no one will see!

To secure, apply a line of E6000 Fabri-Fuse fabric glue to the back cut edge where the batting meets the wooden hoop. Set aside to dry. This line of glue will prevent the fleece from coming out of the hoop.

STEP THREE

Download, print, and cut out DIY Bunny Tail Embroidery Hoop Patterns from the bottom of this post ⇓ Attach the Bunny Ear Pattern to a double layer of batting with straight pins. Cut out with scissors, then cut out the second set of ears.

Attach layers of Poly-Fil Project Fleece batting together with Fabri-Fuse. Set aside to allow the glue to dry.

Once dry, glue the Bunny ears to the top back center of the embroidery hoop. E6000 Fabri-fuse liquid fabric glue is extremely flexible, has stretch, won’t create bumps or bulges, and allows the felt to remain pliable — even after washing. 

STEP FOUR

Attach the Bunny foot pattern to a double layer of batting with straight pins, then cut it out with scissors. Repeat with a second Bunny foot. Attach Bunny footpad patterns to Light Pink Kunin Felt and cut out with scissors. Repeat with a second set.

Attach layers of Poly-Fil Project Fleece batting together with Fabri-Fuse to create the Bunny's feet. Glue the pink felt Bunny footpads to the feet.

Once dry, glue the Bunny feet to the front bottom of the embroidery hoop. Attach one foot to the left of the center and the other foot to the right of the center.

PRO TIP: Store the E6000 Fabri-Fuse liquid fabric glue, upside down on its flat cap so that the glue is always ready to apply to my latest project! It's an elastic fabric glue that gives even after it has dried.

STEP FIVE

Measure and cut seven-inch lengths of Poly-Fil Project Fleece batting scraps, and then cut them into skinny strips with scissors. Since these strips will become the pom pom tail, don't worry about the consistency of the width of the strips.

Stack approximately 75 to 100 strips in a pile. Cut a ten-inch length of natural jute twine, tie it securely around the center of the stack of batting strips, and finish in a tight knot.

The trick to getting the twine as tight as possible is to loop the ends through themselves twice, preventing any slipping. Fluff the pom pom and trim uneven ends with scissors to create a round shape.

STEP SIX

Attach batting pom pom to the center of the embroidery hoop Bunny with Fabri-Fuse fabric glue. Press down firmly from the top and underneath of the hoop and set aside to dry.

Tie a bow from 2.5″ wide pastel plaid wired ribbon. Finish by cutting a triangular notch from the ends with scissors. Glue bow to metal screw at the top center of the embroidery hoop.
