I am dying to write about the Easter crafts we've been working on! Before we started, I wasn't sure exactly how craft-y I was going to get this year what with two kids now instead of one and all. However, my creativity warred with my fatigue... and this time creativity won. Huzzah! :o)
SOCK BUNNIES
The first craft we tried was a bit of an accident. M. is going through a growth spurt and his socks can't keep up. Most of them are worn through the heel and toes and while they can be fixed, he's clearly outgrown them. I thank Canadian Family magazine for my inspiration here in transforming them into sock bunnies! These are pretty simple to make: take a clean sock, fill it with dried beans, tie at the neck and the head, cut the ankle section in half for ears and presto! :o) We made a few so we could use them as a bean-bag toss game.

Hope you enjoy the fruits of our labour. M. is pretty satisfied with the results anyhow. (He had a hard time giving them away...)
Alexa I would love to order a few sock bunnies for pascha!!!! Love love love 'em. Would you be up to making some?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I haven't been online this Lent, so I just got your message. Pretty lousy timing eh. Let me know if you're still interested - send me an email. They don't take long, so I would be able to finish them before the end of the week. Not outrageously belated, especially if you're a fan of Bright Week...
