Make a bunny butt pillow for Easter with a few basic sewing skills. Make the Easter pillow yourself, for easy and budget-friendly Spring or Easter decor. A quick sew project that pretty much anyone can do. The pillow uses basic craft store supplies like the adorable little cottontail made from a pom-pom ball.
Spring or Easter pillow in floral featuring an adorable bunny butt silhouette that is attached via applique and freestyle machine stitching. The freestyle stitching allows me to feel creative with no pressure to stay perfectly on the line. For me, it is about the need for creativity and no pressure to produce a modern masterpiece. 
Supplies for the bunny butt pillow:
- Fabric – 1 yard or two fat quarters for pillow base
- 12″ piece of fabric for the bunny
- Double-Sided Fusible Interfacing- like Stick or Wonder Under
- Iron and safe surface to iron on.
- Sewing Machine and thread
- Scissors and straight pins
- Pencil and ruler
- Needle and thread

To make the bunny butt pillow:
- To begin wash, dry and iron fabric.
- Cut two pieces of the fabric to 18 x18”.
- Draw a bunny silhouette on the wrong side of the fabric you are using for the bunny. You can freehand or download an image from the internet and trace it. I drew mine by hand.
- Follow the manufacturer’s directions for adhering the Double-Sided Fusible Interfacing to the wrong side of the bunny fabric. You can see the drawn figure through the interfacing. If you are using interfacing with paper sheets you can draw directly on it too, then fuse to fabric.
- Cut the bunny image out and adhere to the front and iron in place.
- Freestyle sew around the outer edge of the bunny. There is no right way or wrong way to do this. Just do it and be happy.
How to sew the bunny butt pillow.
- Pin the right side of the cut fabric together and sew three out of four sides together. Sew the fourth side in 5” inches on the side and use a reverse stitch to lock in the stitches and prevent unraveling when stuffing.
- Trim off any excess fabric and clip the corners. Turn the pillow right side out and carefully use the tip of the wooden spoon to push the corners of the pillow out.
How to stuff the bunny butt pillow.
- Stuff the pillow with the fiberfill. To avoid lumps in the pillow use this method; start with a generous handful of filling. Gently pull the filling loose. The idea is to remove any clumps while fluffing the fill at the same time. Repeat the process 2-3 times before inserting the fill into your project. From the worked fill, take a portion equal to the area where you want to stuff. Stuff in one of the corners farthest from the seam opening. It is best to work your way out. gently, but firmly, push the fill into the corner. Pay attention to the outside as you go. From the outside that you can see any lumps or indents forming. Add filling to the immediate area to smooth out the surface or remove some filling and “work it” some more to remove a stubborn clump. Once the corners are filled, insert small amounts of additional fill. Work your way toward the opening and complete the stuffing process.
- Hand-sew the opening closed. Thread the needle with coordinating thread. Keep your stitches as small as possible, slip stitch the opening closed. The tiny stitches help insure no stuffing will poke out of the hand-sewn seam.
- Hot glue or fabric glue on the white pom-pom.
I placed the bunny butt pillow in several different places and cannot make up my mind which one is my favorite. It really does not matter because the pillows are constantly rearranged.
