Have yourself a Hare-y Little Christmas: Meet my Christmas Rabbit friend!

Who says Christmas is only for teddy bears? In this video, Fran takes a detour from the traditional and creates a whimsical Christmas Rabbit!

After falling in love with a snuggly rabbit pattern intended for children, Fran decided to put her own festive spin on it. Watch as she navigates fabric challenges, shares clever upcycling hacks, and explains her process for creating a cohesive holiday color scheme.

In this video, you’ll learn:

[00:56] – The Inspiration: Why Fran chose a rabbit over a traditional bear and how she adapted a standard toy pattern for the holidays.

[01:25] – Working with Faux Fur: Tips for cutting and prepping blue faux fur, including a secret glue-and-water mixture to prevent fraying and stretching.

[02:29] – The Stabilization Fix: How to save a project when the fabric is too flimsy (and why medium-weight fusible interfacing is a lifesaver!).

[03:28] – Festive Details: Adding "Christmy" touches like piping, fur-style ribbon, and a three-color scheme (blue, white, and green).

[04:27] – DIY Christmas Tree: A quick tutorial on making a felt tree with rickrack, blanket stitching, and handmade yo-yo ornaments.

[06:05] – The Pill Bottle Hack: An ingenious way to create joints for your plush toys using recycled pill bottle caps, nuts, and bolts.

[07:08] – The Finishing Touch: Fran’s signature heart detail and how she finished the back of the rabbit.

[07:39] – 2025 Memory Book Sneak Peek: A look at Fran’s advent calendar documentation and how she’s already recording her 2025 crafting journey.

Key Materials Used:

Blue faux fur & medium-weight fusible interfacing

Green, brown, and white felt

Ric-rac, fur ribbon, and snowflakes

Recycled plastic caps (for joints)
