DIY: Children’s Easter Bunny T-Shirt

I recently made a trip to H&M and scored this cute little bunny rabbit top for Josephine.

This is the perfect little spring outfit, so we’ve been getting a lot of use out of this number.

Since a lot of our readers probably don’t live by an H&M, I thought I’d whip up a little DIY Easter Bunny T-Shirt craft.  This project took me less than 20 minutes and, since I had all of the materials on hand, it didn’t cost me a cent.

MATERIALS:

• T-Shirt (or Onesie)
• Fabric Glue
• 2 Scraps Fabric (I used fleece for the bunny’s tail)
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun
• Freezer Paper Stencil
• Iron

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat iron on high
2. Print your stencil out on freezer paper – making sure that you print it on the Matte side of the paper. (Click here to download my Bunny Stencil)
3. Take freezer paper stencil and place shiny side of freezer paper (side without the ink) on to the fabric.
4. Take iron and iron over the freezer paper/fabric (remember- you’re ironing on the matte side that has the rabbit printed on it). Press iron for 30-60 seconds, until freezer paper adheres to fabric.
5. Now, take freezer paper/fabric and cut out the outline of your rabbit. Note: I didn’t cut into all of the intricate line details on my stencil. I just cut around the outside of the rabbit.
6. Peel freezer paper off of fabric. Then, apply fabric glue to the back side of the rabbit and place it on the T-Shirt.
7. Next, take your second fabric (felt and fleece will probably be easiest to use for this) and make a small flower. Click here for a tutorial on how to do this.
8. Glue the back side of your fabric flower to the Bunny’s tail.

For a boy’s version of this shirt, you could always try using a button as the bunny’s tail. Or use a more masculine animal.
