I saw this pin pop up all over the place yesterday, which led me to Mer Mag’s “Easy Bunny Candy Pouch” – and before I knew it I had some felt bunny pouches of my own.
It was exactly the kind of project I was in the mood for – there’s a printable template, I had all the supplies on hand, and each little pouch took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Embroidering the bunny faces was fun, and you can customize them any way you like – I used the sleepy eyes from the template and added a little mouth, then cut some fabric scraps for inside the ears.
These were so simple to make – cut out a back and front, stitch the little face, and sew the two pieces together, leaving a gap between the ears so you can fill it with treats.
Then tie the ears together, and your bunny pouch is complete!
I haven’t shopped for Easter treats yet so I plumped up the pouches with felt balls for the purposes of these photos. I’m hoping to come up with something besides candy to stick inside – Lila has her first dentist appointment tomorrow and I’m a little nervous…she definitely inherited my sweet tooth. But even if it’s not candy, I think it’ll be fun to get these out every year and fill them with some sort of treat.
Here’s another link to the original bunny pouch post, where you can find the template and instructions. They’re so quick – there’s still plenty of time before Easter to make one (or a whole slew of them) if you’re in the mood!
Those are adorable! I love the gray and white with fun colored ears. Great job! If i had kids of nieces of nephews I would so make those! One day.. Lol
These are super cute and as you said so so simple and quick to make. Definitely going on my TO DO list. 🙂 Thank you for the tip! I found your blog only recently and really enjoy reading it. 🙂 Have a great day!
At the risk of sounding like a 12-year-old: totes adorbs!!
I saw this pin, too! Great job, they turned out so cute. You have inspired me to make some! 🙂
Very, very cute. And so do-able!
as always you make something that is already adorable a bazillion times better lol! i’m going to make ashton one of these.. way too cute!
Aaaadorable. You’ve inspired me to do a little felt Easter crafting of my own! No time like the last minute, eh? 🙂
awsome…… I will give them a try!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for such cute ideas…………
Love these goodie bags, thanks so much for sharing. Just added them to the Make Pinterest board http://pinterest.com/youmakedo/make/ hope that’s alright?
of course, thanks! 🙂
Cute cute cute! I love yours in gray especially. Happy Easter.
Aww. that’s so sweet and I hadn’t seen it.
oh my gosh gail, these are so incredible. I wanted to make some, but I don’t think I’ll have time this year. 😦 Here’s to hoping for a burst of energy! have a great easter.
Those are adorable!
Love these! So cute! I’m making them for my kiddos this year, though I’m not sure what I’ll put in ’em yet since we’re not doing a lot of candy and some of the other items I have for them won’t fit! I think they’ll like the bunny bags with or without stuff in them. I was able to use two pieces of craft felt for each one plus some fabric scraps so it’s a really cheap project.
This is boardering on cuteness overload! I’m so glad I found your site : ) I’ve had a ball reading through all of your posts and looking at your cute sewing projects.
Adorable!
Hi. I want to say that yours is one of the nicest blogs that I have ever run into. i purchased the blag pattern on noodlehead and ended up on your site, when I liked what you had made. And I have to say I am hooked. Not to sound like I am stalking you, but I have literally read every post. well in part, i have a daughter who is almost four, and I *love* making stuff for her, esp Oliver+s clothes and you have some great stuff. But I also totally get it when you say that you make the stuff as much for yourself as for her. Your work is really amazing, and I think reading your blog might just give me the final push that I need to start my own blog. 🙂 Thank you for sharing photos of your lovely things and your adorable daughter. i really enjoyed reading and seeing the pictures.
Hi there, I found your blog via Pinterest! Congrats! These are adorable! I’m unable to download the template off of the original blog (I’ve left her a comment too). Thanks for sharing!
I also found your blog via Pinterest and am unable to access/open the pattern. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
sorry, it doesn’t seem to be available anymore – you could try emailing merrilee at mer mag directly to ask?
This is a super cute project!!! thanks for share!
thank you for this! It’s realy a cute idea for a gift bag for my little girls birthdayparty. She loves bunnies, and one can think of many nice games to play like bunnies do! As an idea for treats that are not candy: sweet little carrots or in a plastic freezerbag some apple slices or grapes. no worries for the dentist!
I love your take on these!!!!! …and no, I would have never been so creative! lol Thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to make some for my grandchildren!

This is so cute. Thank you for the tutorial!
ils sont absolument adorables !!!… merci pour le partage !… je cherche des freebies sur le web, mais je recherche aussi des créations “faciles” : mon but est de permettre aux gens qui n’ont pas beaucoup d’argent, ou qui débutent le bricolage, de créer des choses simples, ne demandant pas d’outils particuliers, ni trop de matériel… lorsque je trouve des choses qui me plaisent, je partage mes lien : je viens de créer celui-ci !… http://pinterest.com/lemondedis/ (j’ai déjà plus de 13000 liens vers des téléchargements gratuits et quelques autres milliers vers des projets de création !)

Piekne, mam zamiar zrobic takie dla moich dzieci i dla siebie tez 😉
Hi, this is is amazing, very cute for kids and my daughter already loved the pictures:)
Whats an appropriate size to make this as a goody bag for her bday, in which i want to add like small size oreo pack n etc???
thanks, natalia! i think something like that would fit, but if i were you i would print out the template to make sure, then make adjustments from there. since the main shape is a rectangle it should be easy to add to the length and width. hope that helps, good luck!!
Oh my goodness, SO CUTE!
Thank you! I want to make a few just to have sitting around the house for spring! Different colors! I like hand projects to do while sitting in front of the tv! Keeps me awake! Thank you for sharing. Our new grandbaby will enjoy them in a couple of years.
so cute and good ideas 😀
absolutely lovely !! Thank you for the idea
waw thats so good and very beautiful
These are adorable! Great inspiration for Easter.
These are absolutely perfect, as my family will be traveling on Easter this year! We’re taking the train overnight and these adorable bunny Easter baskets will be waiting for the kids when they wake up Easter morning. Thanks for the great suggestion!!
Loved this, have made two for my twin granddaughters filled with chocolate bunnies
