- Decorate the shapes on opposite sides, using one or two strands of embroidery thread.

- When you reach the ears, leave them loose and just make a few tiny stitches across the head until you reach the other side of the body. Continue to stitch down the bunny’s back, and make a few strong ‘over and over’ stitches to secure at the base.
