Finishing & Tips

• Weave in all ends securely. For extra stability, consider lining the basket or adding a small cardboard base covered in fabric.
• Embellish with a ribbon, small pompom tail, or sewn-on safety eyes if you’re adapting the design into a larger bunny container.
• This makes a charming Easter gift — fill with mini chocolate eggs or other small treats.
