Your bunny key chain is also totally reversible!

Pin all your layers together.

4. Place one bunny piece face down on a flat surface. Place the loop over the bunny piece with the loop side up as shown. Place the other bunny piece over this right side down. Pin together.

Start the blanket stitch just below where the bunny tail will be.

5. Thread a needle with sewing thread, then blanket-stitch around the bunny shape, leaving 1-1/2 inches open where the tail should be for stuffing. Push small amounts of stuffing into the bunny to fill.

Keep sewing loops with the embroidery floss until your bunny tail is good and fluffy.

6. Thread a needle with embroidery floss and knot. Insert the needle into the open part of the bunny (where the tail is) and hide the knot. Make small loops by sewing through both layers of the bunny over and over, also closing the open part. Do this until the tail is puffy enough, then make a small knot. Cut the thread and trim if necessary.

7. Slide the key ring onto the fabric loop and you're done!

Aunt_Dolly writes: As an avowed "rabbit person" myself, I love this keychain! I have made stuffed animal rabbit dolls and decorations but hadn't thought about a keychain before. Kayte, I too have little rabbit figurines that I have collected over the years from all over the world - interesting that this is such a universal animal! I keep all of them in an antique bowed-glass fronted dish cabinet that belonged to my great-grandmother which my husband has nicknamed "the rabbit hutch"!
Thanks too for the pattern; I have previously used free hand drawings and even cookie cutters as templates in the past.

MichaelaMurphy writes: Haha! Brava Kayte! I remember those creepy rabbit's foot key-chains. My grandparents used to give them to us and when we would realize what it actually was they would hurry to reassure us that it was 'good luck.' But after years of hearing about what my Irish family considered to be 'good luck' (bird droppings, broken dishes, falling on your face) I consider myself lucky in general...
