Tail tutorial

Tutorial: Bunny Tail Poof

This tutorial is for no more than a glorified pom-pom with tails to easily sew it on to the rabbit.

Wrap a length of yarn around two fingers until desired fullness is reached. Thinner yarn will need more wraps.

Tie another piece of yarn around the coil. This piece needs to be long enough to sew the tail to the body.

Cut the loops

Gently tease short pieces with a slicker brush to fluff up the yarn.

Tease two halves together into a sphere. Attach via yarn tails.
Once tail is attached, trim to the appropriate size.

Now Available: Heart Mesh Bag

This pattern is now available for $4.00 USD via Ravelry
This bag has a stretchy mesh body sprinkled with an abundance of cheery hearts combined with a solid bottom to help keep smaller items from slipping out. Due to the short pattern repeat, this bag is easily re-sized to fit your needs.
Gauge does not need to be precise, mesh is very stretchy.
Includes full written instructions plus basic charts for the mesh portion.
