Happy Easter :}

In proper Easter fashion me and my girls decided to go and party Easter bunny style. I made a pair of lace bunny ears using an old leotard, pipe cleaners and a hairband :)

First twist 2 pipe cleaners together. 
Do this another 2 - 3 pipe cleaners depending upon how long you want your bunny ears to be. 
Then, twist the ends of the separate pieces join to them all together.




Use a strip of cotton jersey approximately 2 - 3 inches wide, cut on the bias. Roll and stitch around the pipe cleaners to cover.

Repeat to create a pair and bend into the desired shape. I went for wider at the bottom and slightly pointed at the top.








Use the the outline of the covered pipe cleaners as a template. Lie them onto the leotard and cut the shape.

Starting from the top of the ears, roll the lace around the pipe cleaner and pin into place. Stitch to secure into place.

Take an old hairband and wrap the ears around, securing into place using a glue gun.

Finally, use the end of the sleeves from the leotard as gloves, cut a small hole in the side for your thumb.

Your outfit is complete!
