How to make a do-it-yourself bunny from a sock. We sew toys
It often happens that during a trip to the countryside or on vacation, you in a hurry forget to take toys for your child. You can easily get out of this situation with the help of improvised means, for example, a sock and thread with a needle. The result is a wonderful soft toy - a sock bunny.
And if you take a beautiful sock and decorate the toy at the end, you can get an excellent souvenir that you are not ashamed to give to your friends.
In order to make a bunny out of a sock, you will need the following materials:
- Children's plain sock without patterns;
- Dense rigid fabric of a contrasting color (you can - felt);
- Hard threads or elastic bands;
- Small pom-pom;
- Beady eyes;
- Scissors;
- Glue on fabric;
- Elegant thin ribbons;
- Stuffed material.
As a stuffing material, you can use cotton wool or cereals - rice or buckwheat. It is better not to take a synthetic winterizer, as the toy will turn out to be too light and will not stand.
Operating procedure
- Place the sock in front of you and fill it with stuffing. You will need about a cup of cereal or a couple of cotton balls the size of a baby's fist.
- Measure from the toe of the sock to where the neck will be. Tie tightly with a rubber band or thread.
- Measure the distance a little less - for the head. The top must be tied even tighter than the neck so that the stuffing does not spill out.
- Cut the remaining free edge of the sock in half lengthwise from the bandaging line to the end. Cut out 2 ears and give them a standing or lying shape. On the edge of the ears can be processed with a seam so that the fabric does not bloom.
Now you can start decorating the "Sock Hare" toy:
- From a dense fabric, cut a small semi-oval or oval piece to indicate the tummy. Glue the hare to the place of the alleged belly.
- You can make eyes out of beads by sewing them on or gluing them on.
- Also, with the help of parts cut out of dense fabric, form and glue the nose and teeth.
- Attach a pom-pom tail to the bottom of the back.
Ready! With the help of an elegant ribbon, a bunny can be decorated. If you tie a bow around your neck, you will get a gentleman-boy, and if you add a bow between the ears, you will get a beautiful girl.
This is the easiest way to make a sock bunny, but it is just as popular.
Tip: if you buy a pair of socks, you can make 2 baby bunnies at once.

In addition to the method described above, there are some more options for making toy hares. They are a little more difficult, but even more interesting.
- perky kid
Also, from one sock you can sew another bunny, which will also have legs with handles. To do this, you need to put the sock in front of you in an inverted state so that the heel is directly in front of you bent down.
The uppermost part of the sock (open cuff) will go to the front paws and tail, part of the cuff, the heel and the part it covers - the ears and head (the heel is just the bow), below - the torso, and the piece for the fingers - the lower paws .
All details need to be stitched along the edge, stuffed, sewn together and decorated.
- Affectionate humble
This option is created from two socks. Such a bunny is already more suitable for playing than as a souvenir for a gift.
Do you want to please your child? Or perhaps herself? Then we suggest you make an unusually cute bunny out of ordinary socks. The tutorial below will help you with this.
To make a bunny socks you will need:
A pair of children's socks (use two white ones and one with a pronounced ornament for clothing);
Sintepon / cotton wool for stuffing;
Needle + thread;
Graphite from a pencil + brush;
Scissors.
Progress:
1. In order to make a bunny toy, you will basically need a pair of baby socks. I advise you to choose, firstly: white, without any ornaments and a pronounced texture - this is for the bunny himself, and secondly: colored socks with a simple monotonous ornament and texture, for the bunny suit.
2. Cut the white sock with scissors at the base of the heel. We have a white bag.
3. We put cotton wool in a bag in a large enough amount to acquire an elastic shape. But do not try to compact too much, the toy should be soft.
4. Gently and tightly sew the base with a needle and thread.
5. Next, divide the shape in half with a thread. Fold the thread in four so that it does not break, you will have to pull yourself up in order to tie a secure knot tightly enough. As a result, we got the head and body of a bunny.
6. Then, with the same dense thread, pinch the ends where you sewed the base of the form. Pinch so that you get small balls - these will be the legs of the bunny.
7. Now we have a form on which we must put on a sweater. Cut the colored sock in half near the gum. Elastic band - this will be our bunny sweater.
8. We dress, correct, analyze.
9. If there is too much material on the sweater that will not curl comfortably around the bunny's neck, remove and shorten it a little.
10. We will make panties from the middle flat part of the same colored sock.
11. We dress this piece on a bunny, we get, as it were, a skirt. But we will sew it between the legs without removing it to make panties.
12. A bare tummy is an essential feature of a bunny toy, so do not try to hide it under a sweater and panties. But on the back, on the back, you can straighten the sweater so that the bunny does not catch a cold in his kidneys.
13. Our next task is the hands of a hare. We will need small cotton balls and small pieces of a white sock.
14. We hide cotton balls in pieces of fabric and tighten with a thread, cut off the excess. Sewing is not required.
15. We wrap white balls with pieces from a colored sock, having previously folded them in half. We sew, and we got white paws in colored sleeves.
16. Sewing legs to the body is not difficult, but requires patience. They need to be placed clearly on the sides.
17. We have already done the most difficult. Adjust only the sweater around the neck.
18. We probably use the second white sock for the ears. The longer the ears, the cuter the bunny. We cut the sock in two places, we will use the middle part, so try to cut it out as much as possible.
19. Directly for the ears, we use the side parts of the piece that we cut off from the sock. Cut out not very thin strips. These pieces are double.
20. We will make one end rounded, as in the picture. Try not to get two identical ears, but to have both right and left.
21. Sew up the ears from the cut side.
22. And turn them inside out so that the seam is in the middle, and the ears take on even volumetric shapes.
23. Be sure to make sure that the ears are located on the back of the bunny's head with a curved shape outward.
24. The ears should be sewn exactly on the top line of the head at such a distance from each other that your index finger fits between them.
25. When you have sewn on the ears, they can be bent forward.
26. The face for a bunny toy can be embroidered with black thread, or drawn with a black helium pen. Divide his face in half from ears to neck - this will be the line where you can place the bunny's eyes. By the way, I didn’t come up with this, it’s the same for everyone, you can check it for yourself! Take a look in the mirror - your eyes are exactly in the center of the head from the crown to the chin.
In the recent past, about 20 years ago, the attitude in the Soviet Union to things was somewhat different than it is now. Every item has been worn for years. Nothing was thrown away. Buying a new thing was a big problem. The socks that will be discussed were worn to the stage of complete destruction, until they were completely erased (just kidding). They were darned, bandaged, but not thrown away.
Now there is no such problem to buy new things. They are always on sale, people began to throw them away as the slightest wear. Instead of throwing away things, you can extend their life in a new quality. For example, you can make a new interesting thing from an old sock, which will be discussed below.

The process of making a toy
Let us consider in more detail the process of making a hare from a sock with your own hands.
To sew a hare out of a sock, should cut the seams on the socks. Before this, the socks are turned inside out, and they also need to be straightened. An important note: if curly elements are applied to the socks - drawings, etc. - then it is better to observe the general view by fastening such details.
Cut off the heels. In the future, these will be the legs and ears of the hare. How ? For this, an additional incision is made. Subsequently, with the help of this, the shape of the ears is formed. Sew the details according to the markup. It must be borne in mind that all the details attached to the body of a hare: upper and lower paws, ears, except for the tail, narrow at the ends. No more than one centimeter should be narrowed. The rabbit's tail is round. To make a tail, two round pieces of fabric are cut out of socks, tights. The circles are sewn along the edges, leaving only a hole for stuffing with filler. Then the tail is filled, for example, with synthetic winterizer, and finally sewn up.
After all the elements are individually ready, they need to be stitched. It will turn out something like small figured bags.
The next step is stuffing the finished parts with filler. After stuffing, filling holes are sewn up. When stitching the components, it is useful to know that the overall shape is obtained by rough stitching, only then small stitches are made, forming the final shape of the toy.
