Tail

  2. Fill with holofiber if desired and sew the tail onto the back of the bunny.

    • Nose: Make multiple stitches on 2 columns, ensuring they’re not too tight.

Finishing Techniques

  • Secure all stitches to avoid unraveling.
  • Use invisible knots when sewing pieces together for a polished look.
  • For added durability, apply a small amount of hot glue to secure accessories like the eyes or the ribbon.
  • Always ensure stuffing (holofiber) is evenly distributed before closing pieces, especially for the head and body.
