I love Spring and I love a sweet bunny. A few weeks ago I made a cute little bunny pillow you can find here. After falling in love with it, I started searching for another bunny pillow to make. When Ballard Designs came out with these wool pillows a year or so ago my heart skipped a beat. How sweet is that French bunny? Too cute, but the price tag of over 50.00, not so sweet. I was thrilled to find images on the internet for a bunny very much like this one.
When I did my first bunny pillow I bought several of these pillow covers from Hobby Lobby for half off. Costing a mere 2.50 each, can you beat that? I am all about the pillow covers because I love changing them out for the seasons and I love a good down pillow.
I had this transfer paper from Amazon. It came in a package of 18 sheets for about 16.00.
I also had this fabric pen from Amazon, but you can find them anywhere.
Here is the image I found online *** The blogger who created this image can be found over at Confessions of a Plate Addict. Hop on over there to see all the great things she does!***
I took my ruler and marked out a border that I filled in with my fabric pen.
I printed out my bunny on the transfer paper. I trimmed around the bunny pretty close as well as around the lettering. Put them where I wanted them on the pillow and followed the transfer paper ironing instructions. Super simple.
And here is my beautiful French bunny pillow. Now each time I walk through my family room my heart skips a beat. I love him! It also thrills me that he cost me under 5.00 to make. Now that's a nice savings!
Hope you have a great week.

Your pillow turned out great. The general design was inspired by Ballard but that specific design was originally created by DEBBIE at CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT. Here is her original post:http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-spring-favoritemy-ballard-inspired.html

Your pillow really did turn out cute and what a fantastic price! I have some of that transfer paper, but haven't tried using it yet. Thanks for sharing it with SYC.

So cute! The price of that paper is far better than the brand I have and almost never use! Thank you for sharing at Redouxinteriors!
