“Everybunny needs somebunny sometimes.”
NO SEW SOCK BUNNY
Awhile back, on our Facebook page, we featured a reader who made these ADORABLE sock gnomes. With that in mind, I wanted to try and make some sock bunnies.
Anything cuter than bunny bums?
I got these Easter socks as a conference freebie however they weren’t anything I would normally wear. Also, I didn’t really have anyone to give to so I decided they would make a fun little project.
If I make some in the future, I would keep the print to a minimum and maybe do pastel polka dots, solids, and stripes. Oh, and fuzzy socks would be soooooo cute!!!!
So let’s hop to it….
SUPPLIES
*We use affiliate links that show the same, or similar, items used for this project. You can read our full disclosure policy here.
- Socks, THESE would be perfect and what I would get to make again.
- Rice*
- Funnel, the larger one
- Twist Ties, Wire, Ribbon, or Clear Rubber Bands
- Scissors
- Eyes
- Nose**
- Small/Thin String (mouth)
- Ribbon
- Pom Pom
- Hot Glue Gun /Glue
* One 32 oz bag of rice made 3 bunnies.
**I used part of a piece of a rose petal I had from a craft but you could use felt or material as well.
INSTRUCTIONS
- With a funnel, fill the sock with some rice; enough to make just the lower part of the bunny. Twist sock and tie it off tightly with twist ties, clear rubber bands, or ribbon.
- Fill the sock again with rice to form the head. Twist and tie off. The remaining top part of the sock will be the bunny ears.
- Bringing the top part of the fabric up, cut straight down the middle to form two ears. NOTE – I did NOT cut all the way to the head. I cut about half way down.
- Cut the ears to the desired shape. I just angled toward the point. Since the fabric is cut open, I glued the two together.
- Add a ribbon between the body and the head.
- For the face, I glued eyes, a nose, and super thin string for the mouth. If you use hot glue, these work great at protecting your finger tips!
- Finally, for the cotton tail I used a pom pom in whatever size and color you like.
If you make a no sew sock bunny, we would love to see it. You can share it on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram.
Here are a few more projects we think you will enjoy:
Awwwwwwwwww, they’re so incredibly cute. I know you said that next time you might use socks that aren’t so busy, but I really love how these turned out. They’re such happy bunnies. All mad and fun and colorful, just like Spring. Fluffy ones would look really good though 😉

Thank you! Definitely cute for grandkids. If you make some, be sure to head to our Facebook page and share them on our Wednesday Share day
I plan on making a few of these for Easter but.. What do you do with the heel of the sock? Or am I over thinking this? (Which I tend to do! Lol) Anyway, please let me know and I will start my sock bunnies! Thanks much!
Hi Joyce, Once the sock was filled with rice, I just molded the heel part into the shape. I hope that helps.
Ok, thanks so much for your quick answer. I hopefully will have them this weekend! Love your site and ideas!
Oh my goodness these are ADORABLE! Pinned to share and to refer back to because I think my grandbabies need these in their Easter baskets this year 🙂 Thanks for sharing them at the Talk Of The Town party, Debbie!
Thank you! I hope you make some.
