There is still a bit of time left to go to make some Easter themed decorations and this next Easter make is super quick to put together so makes a great last minute Easter project.

I wanted to make a Easter version of a similar make I completed at Christmas, where I used a crochet chain and some buttons to make a crochet folded Christmas tree with button details. Rather than using a tree for the shape I opted for making a rectangular shape that would look like the rabbits body and then added some rabbit ears. You could also add some feet to this if you wanted – for a feet pattern check out the rabbit feet used on this crochet Easter rabbit themed egg cover/cosy, you could attach them on the front or underneath the decoration.

I opted to use grey for this make but you could make these rabbits in any colour you like – perfect for customising for a gift.
