Making Up
Head: Bind off and sew in ends
Tail: Make a tiny pom pom I did this using a 4 pronged fork, wrap the wool (yarn) around the fork with the gaps about 20 times. then cut a length of wool which you insert around the middle of the wool wrapped around the fork, slip the wool off the fork and cut the two ends to make the pom pom, or alternatively if you have a tiny pom pom maker use this and attach to the back of the bunny hat.
Ears: Bind off, sew in ends and attach to the bunny hat.
Face: Using pink wool/yarn make a mouth and attach googly eyes
