Embroider the flower center with yellow yarn – make one French knot.
To make a French knot, follow the photos below or watch the video here.
ASSEMBLY
Pin the ears to the top of the rabbit’s head.
Sew on the ears.
After sewing on the ears, you can attach the paws. Pin them: place the lower paws between rows 23 and 24, the upper ones between rows 16 and 17. Sew on the paws.
Now it’s time for the tail. Sew it on the back.
Now it’s time for the flowers. You also need to pin them to determine their placement. First, place the flower in the center – right between the ears. Pin the next two on the sides under the ears, and place the remaining two between the center and the sides. After determining the placement of the flowers, proceed with their final attachment. You can sew or glue the flowers. Gluing will be easier than sewing. For this, you can use “Moment Crystal” glue. Apply a small drop of glue to the wrong side of the flower, place it in the desired location, press firmly, and hold for a while for the glue to set. Repeat these steps for the remaining flowers.
Now you’re on the home stretch. All that’s left is to add shading. Use blush or dry pastels. Apply shading with a brush or cotton swab.
Start by shading the ears, then the cheeks.
